Qualification

Superbtech Inc (Aiken, SC) - Senior Construction Engineer, 8/14-Present

Subcontracted to Parsons Construction on the SWPF project at the Savannah

River Site. Supported the project as a pipe support Field Engineer. Due to

nature of the work being classified I am limited on what I can say about the

nature of the work.

Bechtel Corporation (Spring City, TN) - Senior Construction Engineer, 3/12 to

7/14

Working directly for the Lead Mechanical Field Engineer as a sub-Lead. I ran

a group of Mechanical FE's dedicated to special projects and client

reporting. Due to the sheer volume of meetings I attended 5-7 meetings at

all levels from senior TVA management to the Construction management

team(Construction manager, Scheduling, Project Controls, Superintendents,

etc.). I represented all of the mechanical group's 125+ FE's in order to

facilitate the Mechanical Lead being able to have time to do his job with me

being his right hand man for anything not clearly fitting into one of the

other sub-Lead's domains (Piping, Hangers, HVAC and I&C). I was the key

point of contact for all outside groups and facilitated when issues arose

between the groups. I was the procedural expert for the Mechanical group,

when issues were raised that fell outside most field engineer's knowledge of

procedural requirements or fell into a grey area, they would come to me to

interpret the data and find the right answer if there was one. If there was

no right answer I helped them with the planning of the corrective action

program to submit a CAP, that would get a fast turn around. The group I was

the lead of had many purposes over the 2 years my subordinate's primary

purpose was interfacing with project controls to take the data from the group

and submitting and validating it. Due to the complexity of building a new

nuclear plant next to an existing one, both of which were started 40 years

ago, there were many data sources for everything from Work Order status,

scoping, library checkouts, and many others. For an FE to find the status of

their work order they had to check 6-7 different sources. To streamline this

effort I made an automated database to pull all the data into a useable

format and daily automatically email all 125 FE's and the Sub-Leads the

status of the WO's assigned specifically to them or needing to be assigned.

I also advocated for and helped develop revisions the primary procedures that

we operated by that reduced paper closure time from an average of 20-30 days

of review and corrections down to 4-5 days on average.

Bechtel Corporation (Jensen Beach, FL) - Senior Field Engineer, 10/10 to 3/12

Worked 2 outages as a Senior Field Engineer Implementing and overseeing

installation and modification of plant systems both in the turbine structure

and in the Rx Compartment/Aux Building. During the first non-outage period I

acted as a planner. The second Outage I acted as an assistant to the PFE

attending meetings and representing the group of 100 Field

Engineers(Electrical, Civil, and Mechanical) to the client. I tracked and

pushed all FE's in the planning efforts of over 1100 work orders while

assisting with the planning process to ensure that the group was ready for

the Outage start dates. I designed a tracking database to ensure all scope

and work was covered and tracked in a timely manner to keep us on task and

under budget with no delays.

FLUOR CORPORATION (Greenville, SC) - Startup Commissioning Engineer, 8/08 to

8/10

Worked with the Toshiba Japan startup team to plan for the startup of STP

3&4. Developed startup testing and flush plans, system scoping, and site

layout plans for flushing equipment. Wrote plant operating and maintenance

procedures. Worked as the groups Corrective Action Plan Coordinator. I

prepped and planned the groups presentations for our Toshiba oversight team

to ensure that the material was presented in an easy to understand method to

reduce the risk of translation issues for the Japanese translators.

TATE METALWORKS INC. (Roebuck, SC) - CNC Programmer, Supervisor and Training,

2/06 to 7/08

Worked as one of the Senior personnel in running the plate and parts

department. I was the CNC programmer for the company taking CAD drawings

from the draftsmen and engineers and programing the CNC code required to cut

the parts and plan it to minimize scrap material. Performed or verified all

parts were checked for quality control of cut measurements and radius bends

of pressure vessel shells. Qualified to operate all machinery, forklifts and

hoists in the company. Trained personnel in safety, print reading, hoist

operation, operations of Plate Rollers for rolling the tank shapes, CNC

plasma cutters used to cut and mark parts and tank shells, and basic welding.

Was one of the few drivers of the onsite yard dog truck to move the 48' and

53' trailers from place to place as required to support loading and shipping.

Assisted the purchasing department by keeping track of over $1 million of

scrap plate from previous jobs to maximize the companies profits ensuring

plate steel was used to it's maximum potential leaving very little scrap to

be recycled while minimizing the amount of new plate that had to be bought.

Assisted the shipping department with new plate receipt, inspection,

unloading and organization.

US NAVY (USS Maine and USS Emory S. Land) - Nuclear Machinist Mate, 1/98 to

12/05

USS Emory S. Land AS-39 Nuclear Submarine Tender: Lead Petty Officer for

shop 38N Nuclear Repair Facility Repair Shop. Managed a multi-disciplined

group with various ratings on loan from other divisions who normally did not

work radiological jobs. Was responsible for taking the non-nuclear personnel

and training them to the standards required as radiological workers and glove

bag workers using specialized tools to mechanically cut and prep contaminated

pipe in order to facilitate repairs underway if needed. Received Letters of

Commendation for my services in outfitting several submarines with single

piece foldable plastic containments for their crews head decontamination

station to facility fast setup in case of an emergency to maximize efficiency

in processing people in case of a contamination situation, the commendation

was due to the fact that much better equipped and larger facilities in

Norfolk, VA could not replicate what I built using a 50 year old Di-electric

heat seal machine using 2-8" bars to seal hundreds of feet of seams with no

holes.

USS Maine SSBN741-B Nuclear Ballistic Submarine: As a qualified Engine Room

Supervisor I lead 1/3 of the mechanical division on a daily basis in the

operations of the Engine Room and assisted the Engineering Watch Supervisor

in maximizing training, qualifications, and performance of our watch team. I

was the division expert on the Quality Assurance and Subsafe program, many

times I assisted other divisions with their programs as ours was the most

robust and comprehensive making me one of the ships subject matter experts.

I managed the divisions Formal Work Package processes ensuring all upcoming

and routine maintenance work orders were planned and approved prior to the

required time meeting the most up to date requirements. I was one of the

senior qualified mechanics when it came to Quality Control inspections and

performed most of the divisions required inspections on everything from heat

exchangers, pumps, valves, pressure vessels, and storage tanks to name a few.

During my last two tours on board I was the Lead Senior Mechanic on the ships

drill team which ran drills at least 4 times a week, ensuring as machinery

was tripped and shut down to simulate casualties that the on watch personnel

took the appropriate steps to ensure safety of the ship.
