Engineer Electrical

Dear Sir,

I am an Instrument Controls Engineer with 29 years experience. I have worked in both

the Power as well as the Chemical Industry. I have worked in the design stage in house

and have followed up design in the field. I have worked both on new projects as well as

updating older systems to state of the art systems. I have estimated project costs, and

scheduled project activities, supervised personnel, expedited equipment, and planned

over all instrumentation on a day to day basis, as well as long term projects to interface

with plant engineering as a whole. I have worked on single loop controllers as well as

programmable controllers and DCS systems to incorporate multiple loops in process

control. I have worked with chemical and plant engineers to evaluate materials of

construction and electrical classification.

I am presently seeking to expand on my over all skills to further my development in the

field of Instrumentation and Process Control.

Please review my resume and if a suitable opportunity exists, please feel free to contact

me at any time by phone, or mail to set up an interview, or to answer any further

questions that you may have.

Sincerely,

James T. Wren
