Project Manager Engineer

SUMMARY

I am a Project Management Professional (PMP) with extensive experience in plant modifications, project management and client management, as well as the ability to integrate and focus team efforts on cost and schedule performance.

I am also a Professional Engineer with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA degree in Strategic Planning. Major strengths include cost reducing, task prioritization, technical knowledge, team building, and client interface.

My project experience is in the power, federal facilities and chemical industries, covering the full life cycle of a project - from project sponsor, design, construction, testing and project closeout. Power experience includes project management, direct oversight of contracted construction services, and testing/closeout of small single discipline design changes to large multi-discipline projects.

I have extensive knowledge of rotating equipment, including pumps, motors, fans, HVAC equipment and digital systems. Working history includes applicable Industry Standards and Codes such as ASME BPVC Section III and Section VIII, and ASME (ANSI) B31.1.
