EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE

Project Engineer Co-Op, United States Gypsum (USG), Jacksonville, FL July 2014 – December 2014 Leading Manufacturer of construction materials, most notably gypsum drywall and joint compound

Worked in the engineering department facilitating and managing Lean Six Sigma capital projects and maintenance to enhance troubleshooting, safety, quality, efficiency, and cost savings throughout the regional manufacturing plant

Worked on retrofitting mechanical and electrical systems reviewing, editing, and creating engineering drawings and schematics, performing system load calculations, selecting equipment sizing, and creating bills of materials (BOM)

Created and monitored requisition orders, procurement, and purchase orders which included the scope of work, action planning, scheduling, engineering plans, quotes, financing, and approvals from managers, accounting, and corporate

Lead, supervised, and coordinated in teams with managers, foreman, line workers, technicians from the controls, electrical, and mechanical plant departments, corporate, suppliers, and contractors

Familiar with OSHA standards and protocol/procedures governing repair, additions, and demolition of structures, equipment, piping, valving, and electrical lines

Major Capital Projects:

FANUC Robot Enhancement - $25,000

Pallet Flow Rack Storage System Repair/Maintenance - $75,000

Automative Fluid Injection System - $50,000:

- Retrofitted a pre-engineered addictive fluid injection system to a main mixer in the joint compound production line

- Created a mechanical schematic, analyzed proper pump, piping, valving, and tank specifications, and outlined plans for the system to be integrated within the preexisting infrastructure

- Worked with the controls department integrating a PLC driven 24 VDC relay to operate the pump and a separate 24 VDC solenoid valve to relieve pressure of the system

Automative Truck Bed Wetting Station - $100,000:

- Retrofitted a truck bed wetting station over a truck scale for gypsum transportation

- Reviewed and surveyed environmental codes of the site, site electrical and water lines, truck drivers’ procedures, and different truck bed sizes

- Implemented the use of ping distance sensors based on varying truck bed sizes to open solenoid valves operating nozzles to reduce water runoff

- Co-designed and worked with an outside-contractor and design firm to convey a cost-effective standing structure and an efficient pump

Automative Pail Denester Machine - $500,000:

- Retrofitted a PLC controlled pail denester machine to eliminate manual labor and increase the joint compound production line efficiency

- Worked with the controls and electrical departments to wire the system’s 220 VAC, 3 Phase, 60 Hz motor via a transformer and 24 VDC control box voltage via an AC/DC transformer within the production line’s infrastructure Engineering Aide, ECEnergy, Island Heights, NJ May 2013 – August 2013, May 2015 – August 2015 Manufacturer of EearthCoolerDXTM, a geothermal and water cooling refrigerant heat exchanger system reducing costs of residential central air-conditioning by 40%

Aided in the product development of a heat exchanger used as a direct exchange subcooling system in the refrigeration cycle

3D CAD modeled the product assembly using Inventor

Manufactured a custom lathe to machine the heat exchanger’s inner tubing’s spiral array design

Field Technician work servicing residential air condensers:

- Routed the 220 VAC single phase and thermostat relay from the condenser to the heat exchanger’s AC/DC transformer to operate the system’s centrifuge pump moving ground water and an installed 24 VDC solenoid valve attached to the house water line as two sources of water cooling

- Aided in safely draining the refrigerant 410a from the condenser and then connecting the heat exchanger into the air cooling system

Performed cost economics from testing data of a range of condenser and evaporator temperatures within the refrigeration cycle evaluating increasing SEER ratings and compressor energy savings Thomas Phillip LaMarca Page 2
