Accomplishments

Project Management and Maintenance Engineering

As Navy Project Manager, worked with a team of multi-discipline engineers to ensure that projects followed the design scope, were constructed on time and delivered within budget.

As Maintenance Engineer and Section Head, developed preparation of comprehensive Operation and Maintenance Manuals (Discs) that compiled all product and system data and maintenance schedules for all new Navy shore facilities. The manuals, called Operation and Maintenance Support Information (OMSI) allow rapid facility commissioning and fast, cost effective future repair and operation.

OMSI compiled all product and system data, (including architectural) and included detailed tabulations of maintenance requirements and schedules for all systems.
