To whom it may concern:

Enclosed is a resume summarizing my background, qualifications, and work

experience. My 39 years experience in the field of mechanical drafting and

piping design should make me a valuable asset to your company needs.

My extensive experience in the field and in various disciplines acquired

through out my career has provided me with the opportunity to help upcoming

young engineers in becoming more valuable to the companies I have had the

privilege of working for by stimulating their imagination with creative and

simple solutions to their still rough skills. My desire is to become

associated with a firm that requires a competent and trustworthy

individual, capable of contributing substantially to overall company

operations and development.

I'm presently available, should you have a present need for a man with my

qualifications. I would appreciate a personal interview at your earliest

convenience, to discuss present or future employment.

I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours truly,

Victor Garcia

July 2011 to Feb.

2013

Clean Energy Renewable Fuels - Bio-Methane Div.

Seal Beach, California

Title: Principal Designer

Project: Sauk Trail Hills Landfill

This is a 4,000 CFM landfill gas purification project where gas is

extracted from an existing trash mount, the methane gas is then separated,

scrubbed and clean and then put into the existing gas company's

distribution line where it can be compressed or liquefied to supply fuel to

trucks or automobiles.

As a Principal Designer I was responsible for creating Smart P&IDs using

Cadworx P&ID Professional, modeling the plant in Cadworx Plant

Professional, extracting isos, create, plot plans, transposition plans,

equipment location plans, arquitectural, structural and foundation plans,

line list, and all the material specs used in modeling pipe.

Feb 2008 to July 2011

Fluor - Power & Energy Div.

Long Beach, California

Title: Piping Engineering Lead / Design Specialist

Project: Tesoro LAR - Cogen & Boiler replacement.

This is a 40 megawatt power generating addition to the refinery to meet the

AQMD's more stringent requirements to the gasses release to the atmosphere.

It basically consists of a gas turbine generator, a heat recovery steam

generator, boilers, steam turbine generator and a water demineralization

system and all the peripherals associated with the equipment.

As an engineering lead I was responsible for the creation of an activity

plan, drafting room instructions, a job book for designers that contains

specifications and standards and fabrication details. Also part of my

responsibilities are to maintain a control level schedule to keep track of

manhours spent as well as doing job walks and meetings with the client to

identify and discuss solutions to problems detected by my team. We also did

3D (in SPR as this job was done in PDS) model reviews were we showed the

client our progress and where we discussed any and all technical details of

the job which included all disciplines, such as process, piping,

instrumentation, civil and structural.

As a Design Specialist I was responsible for the layout, design and iso

generation of the water treatment and demineralization unit. I was also

responsible for the tie-ins located in the Amine unit for the Marathon

coker conversion project in Detroit Michigan. The massive size of this

project required to make field trips to gather all the necessary

information. I'm glad to say that I completed my responsibilities ahead of

schedule by at least three months.

Oct 2006 to Feb 2008

Worley Parsons

Long Beach, California

Title: Supervising Designer / Principal Designer

Project: Shell Oil - FCCU Wash Water turn around, phases I, II & III.

This was an upgrade to increase production by being able to separate the

water that is generated by the fractionating tower at a higher rate of

flow.

My responsibility was to design in Auto Plant, a 3D software Acad Base

program all the equipment and piping of the project. I supervised two

designers to help me in the field to identify tie-in locations, supports,

and possible obstructions from existing electrical and instrumentation

equipment. My design was done in 3D and then I extracted all the isometrics

that then were modified and finished by my designers. I was also

responsible to create an engineering package that had to be approved by the

client. The package contained all the material specification for each

individual line class, a written document outlining the scope of work and a

complete sequence of erection that the constructor was to adhere to during

the turn around phase of the project. At the turn around I had to be

available to answer questions and create a punch list to make sure all the

work was performed to the client's satisfaction.

Feb 2006 to Sep 2006

TJCross

Bakersfield, California

Title: Principal Designer

Project: Chevron - Oil Separation and Water Treatment

This was mostly a water treatment project to neutralize contaminants from

the water that was separated from the oil after being extracted from the

ground.

At the beginning I was given the responsibility to design and layout the

filter press unit and to do it with the use of Acad 2006. When the project

manager realized my capabilities he asked me to supervise my piers and to

help them out in their part of the project which I did gladly. Besides

doing my design part of the work, I help my colleges in finishing the

design and layout of the piping for the neutralization tanks, solids

precipitator, cooling tower, cooling tower pump system, and the chemical

injection and replenishment systems as well as all the preliminary

structural design for the filter press building and tanks ladders and

platforms. Underground piping and safety shower & eyewash potable water

distribution system were also part of my responsibility.

Assign to the Brightburn Energy project, I was responsible for the layout

and design of 2 sets of pods with 16 oil well heads each as well as

interfacing with the oil separation unit associated with it. These oil

wells were located in the Orcutt Hills oil fields in the Santa Barbara

County.

Dec 1997 to Jan 2006

Walgren Co.

Grand Rapids, Michigan

Title: Project Manager/Drafting Designer

Projects: Ford/Visteon in Indiana, Pratt & Whitney in Tijuana, Mexico,

Fairchild Dornier in Houston Tx, Lucas Aircraft in Fargo North Dakota,

Intel in northern California and a few others during my employment with

Walgren.

My duties and responsibilities involved equipment location and plant layout

drafting using Acad 2004, job walks, construction supervising and

mechanical drafting of different disciplines. For electrical I drew single

line diagrams and installation drawings, for electronics I drew circuits

and designed ladder logic interlock diagrams, for structural I designed and

drew platforms and hoist structures, for architectural I drew buildings and

additions, for piping I designed and layout piping and equipment for

anodizing lines and water treatment plants, for process I drafted the

Process and Instrumentation as well as the utility flow diagrams and

finally for mechanical I design and drafted pneumatic and hydraulic systems

as well as kinematic mechanims and hoists.

The following are a list of other companies I worked for that complete the

rest of my 39 year career. Further details are available upon request if so

desired.
