ENGINEERING MANAGER and PRINCIPAL ENGINEER
Provided leadership to a team of 12 engineers and designers in a
Manufacturing Plant. Was accountable for engineered products and systems
used in Steelmaking, Ironmaking, Smelting and Casting processes.
Responsibilities included:
. Process R&D, product development, manufacturability, maintainability,
cross-functional design reviews
. Shop testing, root cause analysis of failures, enhancement of product
performance, product cost reduction
. Investigation of plant processes, assessment of operating performance,
and troubleshooting of problem areas
. Scheduling, budgeting and control of engineering workload to suit the
requirements of order delivery
Received requests from Operations and Sales, created engineering workscope
and budget, held weekly reviews for status and priority updates, and
redirected engineering efforts as required. Developed and implemented best
practices for tracking and control of Engineering Orders that enabled
reliable monitoring of workload and quicker engineering response.
Directed, reviewed and approved all calculations, analysis and design work
including mechanical, structural, fluid flow, thermodynamics, heat
transfer, FEA, CFD, material selection, component sizing, functional
control specifications, assembly procedures, operating manuals,
manufacturing drawings, shop test plans, and work of outside consultants
and suppliers.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
Expertise developed at SMS around the field of Continuous Casting with
responsibility as Senior Design Engineer, Senior Engineer, and Chief
Engineer. Was accountable for safety and successful design, manufacture,
installation and startup of all Casting projects in the North American
market. Direct responsibility included innovative proposals, estimating,
complete design execution, and shop support during manufacture.
Contributed to sales efforts, and participated in procurement, manufacture,
inspection, installation, start-up, and after-market service. Recruited by
CHL in 2003 as Engineering Manager to develop a group of 25 engineers and
designers in the areas of Materials Handling Systems and Heavy Industry.
Was responsible to provide full engineering support for manufacturing
facilities at three Nucor Steel plants. Recruited by Siemens in 2008 as
Engineering Manager to lead the Steelmaking and Casting group. Recruited
by BMC in 2010.
EARLY CAREER DEVELOPMENT
Entered Management Training program at WSC entailing 6 months of intensive
training in the processes and machinery of an integrated steel mill.
Learning was applied on manufacturing design projects at WSC in the Coke
Plant, Hot Mill, Blooming Mill, Cold Mills, Pickle Lines, Electrolytic Tin
Lines, and Electrolytic Galvanizing Line. Recruited by SMS to design
machine components for Continuous Casting Lines. Recruited by Kimberly-
Clark to lead a group of 10 designers and engineers supporting Nonwovens
Materials Research. Later returned to SMS as a Senior Design Engineer.
