PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Southland Industries, Garden Grove, CA

January 2014 - April 2014

Professional Mechanical Engineer and Senior Design Engineer

(Temporary Assignment)

* Lead engineering and project management efforts in the design, selection,

and construction of a new 4800-ton chilled water plant. System included

new cooling water farm, pipe stanchion support system, water chillers,

primary and secondary chilled water piping systems, and automated controls.

General Dynamics, Scottsdale, AZ -Military Communications

April 2010 - December 2013

Professional Mechanical Engineer and Plant Registrant

* Provided professional engineering, design, drafting, to replace a 105,000

CFM air handling unit supporting a testing and office environment. Plans

included demolition and installation of new unit, pluming and natural gas

supply with calculations, equipment schedules, and material specifications.

* Developed and implemented mechanical plans, policies and procedures for a

new satellite communications laboratory supporting NASA that included

computer room air handling units, chilled water pumping, and piping. Wrote

bid specifications, and material specifications. Oversaw testing of all

new mechanical and electrical distribution equipment and controls.

Stantec, Phoenix, AZ - Engineering and Consulting Firm

Jan. 2008 - Sept. 2009

Professional Mechanical Engineer for the entire Phoenix Office

* Provided mechanical design and peer review services for the Patient Tower

Expansion project at the University of Arizona Medical Center in Tucson.

Mechanical systems were water chiller, air handling, chilled water piping,

and ductwork design. Plumbing design included potable water and sewer

design, healthcare gas and vacuum piping, and clean dry compressed air

piping. Fire protection design included wet-pipe sprinkler systems, foam-

water systems, and electrical centrifugal fire pumps.

* Developed and implemented a site facilities master plan at Luke AFB which

detailed central plant, building layout, utility requirements, and future

plans for testing requirements. Developed central plant layout showing all

mechanical and electrical equipment supporting such expansion plans.

Proposed site plans were approved by Luke AFB general staff

* Developed and stamped construction drawings, specifications, and

calculations for a radar approach facility (RAPCON) at Luke AFB within

2 weeks of schedule and 12% under planned budget. Systems included air

conditioning load estimating, ductwork design, water chiller layout,

chilled water piping design, and plumbing waste and water distribution

systems.

Honeywell, Tempe, AZ - Manufacturer of Aerospace Products

Jul 1985 - Apr. 2007

Project Manager and Plant Engineer for entire 1M Square Foot Site

* Lead engineering and project management efforts in the design, selection,

and construction of a new 3500-ton chilled water plant within 4% of a $3.4M

planned budget. System included new water chillers, primary and secondary

chilled water piping systems, and automated controls.

* Lead engineering project work and designed mechanical plans supporting a

Tier III, 38,000 square foot computer data center within 6% of a $5.85M

planned budget. Supervised installation of all electrical switch-gear,

generators, uninterruptible power supply modules, battery stations, water

chillers, air handling units, water pumping systems, and fire protection

systems.

* Designed a new 300 and 3000 psig compressed air system in the central plant

for production and laboratory testing. Prepared engineering calculations

and detailed construction drawings, wrote appropriation requests and

purchase orders, reviewed equipment and construction bids, approved

constructor supplied shop drawings and submittals, oversaw successful start-

up of all process equipment.

* Provided mechanical engineering design to construct a new 100 class clean

room which assembled and tested control valves systems used on Space

Station Freedom. Verified all construction start-up and final

certifications were within Federal Standard 209-D specifications required

by NASA.

* Designed high-pressure valve test laboratory required by the U.S.

military's Joint Strike Fighter program. All design was performed per the

ASME Boiler and Pressure code, Section VIII, Div. II, the ASME Process

Piping code, section B31.3, and the National Board Inspection Code, ANSI/NB-

23.

* Designed and provided project management to replace the existing site wide

natural gas piping distribution system. Original corroded underground steel

pipe was replaced with 2,800 feet of PE 2406 polyethylene pipe within 5% of

planned budget. New gas line installation conformed to all federal pipeline

safety regulations and the requirements of the Arizona Corporation

Commission.

* Developed manufacturing, production, and testing schedules which

reduced site electrical usage from 80,000,000 KWh to 68,000,000 KWh

for three years. This was a 15% annual reduction in electrical power

usage and equated to $4.1M dollars of cost savings over three years.

* Designed water reclamation system that reused treated effluent waste water

from a waste water treatment facility and recycles water back up to

existing fume scrubbers for pollution control. Measured water savings were

7,600 gallons per day which equates to 2,774,000 gallons per year of water

savings.
