Managed engineering for deliverables thoughout the projects.

Managed the health and safety program for the organization which included development and implementation of the health and safety plan, continued OSHA training of personnel and subcontractors, and development of reports which were forward to the Regional Safety Manager.

Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site (1991 - 2003)

Golden, CO

As a Project Engineer/Health and Project Manager with various companies, I had been directly in charge of remediation project aspects including work plan development, cost estimating, subcontractor procurement, personnel management, cost/schedule control, financial management, quality assurance/quality control, waste transportation and disposal and project documentation, developing and implementing health and safety operations, worker training, environmental monitoring, field direction of site operations, personnel monitoring programs and evaluation of site operations with respect to regulatory compliance.

Additional experience involved duties as a Health and Safety Representative for Superfund, DOD and DOE remediation projects which included work plan development, cost estimating, subcontractor procurement, personnel management, cost/schedule control, financial management, quality assurance/quality control, waste transportation and disposal, liaison with state and federal agency personnel and specification compliance.

Wrote the project site specific health and safety plans, which were approved by the Department of Energy and included a air monitoring and blood draw programs for beryllium control. During the project we coordinated with the National Jewish Health to consistently monitor for potential beryllium uptakes.

At the site wastewater plant, I employed engineering design to eliminate two confined spaces that had to be entered quarterly for cleaning and inspections. One confined space was used as a wet well for raw seweage and the sewage was rmevoed with submersible pumps and sent to the processing trains. The submersibles clogged up frequently and personnel had to go into the space to clean the pumps. The solution was to install an above ground pump station and turm the wet well into a dry well, eliminating the need to entry. The second space was the chlorine contact basin which had to be entered quateerly for inspection and cleaning. This entry was eliminated with the installation of the ultraviolet disinfection system.

Eliminated the use of chlorine gas as a disinfection agent with the design and installation of an ultraviolet disinfection system. This system also increased the daily throughput of the plant which prevented the plant from having to bypass raw sewage during storm events. The removal of chlorine gas from the site eliminated the need for chlorine emergency response plans and thus the overall safety of the site and the surrounding community was enhanced.

As the project manager/safety representative for a team to reduce low level waste (LLW) drums onsite, I designed, had constructed, and oversaw the use of a unique repackaging system. The system allowed personnel the abilility to repackage the drums into new drums without the need to use respirators. This reduced the time required to repack the drums and reduced the fatigue of the personnel involved thereby increasing the time each worker could spend on the production line. I also wrote and the procedures necessary to use the system which were approved by the Department of Energy.

Electric Boat Division, General Dynamics (1979 - 1991)

Groton, CT

Asssigned as a Project Engineer and Engineering Supervisor for numerous groups responsible for the design and construction of numerous classes of U. S. Navy submarines. A prime responsibility was the health and safety of the crews operating the submarines in all conditions, surfaced and submerged. I wrote numerous procedures which were appoved by the U. S. Navy for the safe operation of numerous systems aboard.

Robert A. Larrabee Resume (Cont.)

As an Engineering Supervisor with the Submarine Reactor Plant Planning Yard (SRRY), the primary responsibility was the installation of newer technologies into older classes of submarines. This ensured that the ships would remain on the cutting edge of technology and ensure the safety of these crews. With these improvements to the older submarines, the stress of the crews was somewhat reduced knowing that their survivability was improved. I also had to ensure the health and safety of the engineers in my organization through continued health and safety training so they could operate in a shipyard environment at Electric Boat and at other Navy operated facilities.
