12-1995 to 10-2000 Senior Field Service Engineer

Marquip Ward United – Phillips, Wisconsin

I performed service, installation, and startup, of corrugated box production equipment

at customer facilities throughout the United States and Canada, which also included

conducting Operation and Safety Training to plant operators and maintenance

personnel. Installations involved supervising two shifts of riggers, electricians, pipe

fitters, plant maintenance, and other Marquip Field Service personnel, to meet the

requirements of a mandated on time startup of the production equipment.

Past Performance Indicators

My largest installation project involved the successful and on time startup, of four

contiguous corrugated box production machines totaling over $750,000 worth of

equipment. This included the oversight of other Field Service personnel and outside

contractors, and the successful training of plant personnel, which resulted in the project

starting on time and performing to the customer’s expectations.

I have overseen the successful completion of a $145,000 capital improvement project to

the facility, which required the temporary relocation of plant personnel parking, to

accommodate the construction being done. This also required taking into account plant

personnel Safety concerns for access to the facility, while construction was being

performed outside.

My single largest cost saving and improvement project involved the successful

implementation, of a reverse osmosis water system to an E-Coat paint line. This involved

the research, quoting, financial analysis, and upper management presentation, which

ultimately resulted in a yearly savings of $125,000 to the company.

I have overseen and been responsible for plant wide improvement projects, which have

needed to be performed on weekends and holidays. One of these includes the

replacement of the plants main electrical distribution panel, which required the plant

power to be disconnected from the electrical grid, for a Safe installation.
