Professional Experience

2017 JAGG Electrical & Control - Lancaster, New York ENGINEERING MANAGER

Prioritized and scheduled all activities of the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering teams including customer drawing submittals, material requisitions, shop releases and QC reviews.

Greatly increased the accuracy and amount of information provided to manufacturing to eliminate questions from the shop floor and time wasted in assembly.

Successfully incorporated outsourced components into manufactured assemblies which were much more functional and less costly than items made in house.

Created Electrical and Mechanical Engineering job descriptions, posted job openings to boards and websites, screened, interviewed and hired candidates. 1998 – 2017 Niagara Transformer Corp. - Cheektowaga, New York

(2006 – 2017) ENGINEERING GROUP LEADER

Coordinated with junior engineers, correcting and approving part requisitions, customer and shop drawings. Monitored projects to keep them on time and under budget.

Mentored junior engineers to maintain proper design practices, compliance with applicable standards and continuously improve the quality of the work.

Managed specific customer’s projects and product groups to ensure continued adhesion to specifications and industry standards.

Conducted customer visits, including specification review, design review, drawing review, preliminary measurements, start-up supervision, field service and maintenance.

Worked with manufacturing and quality control on continuous improvement projects and elimination of NCRs. Enforced engineering change notice procedures to eliminate repeated errors. THOMAS P JOHNSON
