EXPERIENCE smurfit-stone container

2006- Present Florence, SC

Second largest manufacturer of paperboard and paper-based

packaging with net sales of $7.042 billion in 2008. Union and

Non-union facility employing approximately 500 people.

Senior Project Electrical Engineer

Electrical lead engineer for the installation of a press pit

pulper on #2 Paper Machine. Project led to an increase in

productivity by eliminating threading up through the press

section.

Project manager for the installation of a new Allen-Bradley

PLC on #1 and #2 Paper Machines. Designed and supervised

installation to meet corporate risk management requirements.

Electrical lead engineer for the installation of a shoe press

on #2 Paper Machine. Project led to an increase in

productivity and better quality product by speeding up the

machine and increasing drying of the sheet through the press

section.

Project manager for the installation of two new multi-fuel

lime kiln burners. Supervised all aspects of both mechanical

and electrical engineering for the installation of the

burners. By having the capability of burning the cheapest

fuel (oil or gas) the mill saw a return on investment in

three months. Pending future installations these burners are

capable of burning Petcoke or methanol as well.

Assisted with electrical supervision and engineering for the

installation of a new evaporator set. This project earned the

Smurfit Stone 2007 Performance Excellence Sustainability

Award and resulted in $2 million annual savings.

Project manager for the installation of a new voltage

regulator on the mills #1 and #3 Turbine Generators. Obsolete

equipment and multiple failures of existing equipment

required an upgrade on each turbine. Neither turbine has had

any downtime because of voltage regulator failures since this

installation.

Project manager for the installation of new trolleys on the

#1/#2 Paper Machine house crane. Existing controls for the

crane consisted of drives but because of the environment in

which the drives were installed they had been experiencing

multiple failures. The new installation converted all crane

controls from drives to relays with the exception of the

remote control panel.

Project manager for the installation of a camera system for

the mills storeroom. This system allowed the mill to

eliminate hours in which the storeroom had to be manned by

personnel.

Project manager for the final installation of two personnel

elevators in the lime kiln and power boiler areas.

Installation had taken over three years and had many setbacks

until it was assigned to our department. Completed

installation of the lime kiln elevator in one year after

assignment and power boiler in less than two years.

Other mill responsibilities include Maintenance Supervisor

setup for E&I specialist when needed, member of mill safety

investigation team, and mill radiation safety officer (RSO).

In four years of supervision of installations there have been

zero recordable injuries to mill or contract workers.

Projects have included installation of 480V motor control

centers, 2300V motor control centers, motors, lighting

systems, instrumentation, PLC's (AB and GE), transformers (up

to 1500KVA), and AC drives.
