Relevant Experience

2014 - Present

Helix Energy

Electrical Engineer - Electronics Technical Officer (ETO)

Expertise in designing PMS/DCS systems, allowed for the successful installation of a generator management and protection system on the Helix Producer 1.

Troubleshot and repaired the vessel’s 6 Diesel Generators which produce 2.2MW of power each, which are connected to the two main buses.

Ensured the power distribution to all the switchgear (1000Vac & 380Vac), VFDs, Thrusters, and the power train.

Always ensured all equipment had proper software, firmware, and redundant communications to hold our DP2 class status.

Tested the maintenance of all PLC’s, Switchgear, breakers, electronic, computer, audio/visual, and communications equipment. Manage and troubleshot hardware such as: Crio, Allen Bradley, Siemens’ S7-200 & 300, Wago, GE fanuc, Mitsubishi, Eaton, and ABB.

Managed all planned down maintenance on these systems and coordinated operations with technicians and office personnel.

Assured the Vessel’s design standards would pass FMEA and sea trials.

2011 – 2014

Chicago Bridge & Iron (CB&I)

Senior Electrical Engineer

Successfully designed/commissioned a $5 billion refinery which is now self-sufficient refinery capable of producing 160,000 barrels daily.

Worked on the FEED portion, and was promoted to project manager of the Power Management System (PMS), and the Electrical Monitoring & Control System (EMCS).

Successful in the implementation of 23 different substations (34.5KV &13.8 KV substations).

Developed and improved cost and planning studies, and met with refinery managers to maintain a strict schedule.

Managed construction of the PMS/DCS system per NEC and RETIE standards.

Answered RFIs for superintendents at the construction site to ensure construction requirements and NEC standards were on target.

Developed systems capable of communication across several different protocols (DNP, Modbus, OPC, Profibus). Different Vendors used their proprietary software with different protocols and I was the lead network communication advocate for the different systems.

I directed the electrical commissioning portion of the project. Wrote control narratives and FMEA’s for the electrical portion.

Designed and implemented all signals for the PMS/EMCS&PCS, which operated in several modes with power generated by 7 Turbines.

Designed PMS/EMCS and DCS signals which ran through redundant fiber optic network.

Other duties included electrical design and analysis of an assigned scope of work in a CB&I project including specific complex deliverables such as power generation systems, P&ID’s, substation & power distribution systems, UPS, lighting, and grounding systems. Work includes, among other things, conceptual studies, voltage drop calculations, specification development and electrical one-line diagrams. Able to effectively communicate technical solutions and concepts to others engineers and non-engineers. Capable of checking others work, maintaining project quality, familiar with industry codes and standards. Successful management of large projects.

2010 - 2011

SURF Subsea, Inc., Magnolia, TX

Vessel Systems Electrical Engineer/Electrical Technical Officer

Sole commander of the vessels’ electronics and electrical systems including troubleshooting any electrical/electronic problems with the Z-drives, bow thrusters, 480V main switch-board, Emergency Generators, Siemens’ PLC’s.

Purpose on the Vessel was to minimize any down time, by having qualified Electrical Engineer on board to troubleshoot any unexpected problems with PLC logic controllers and any electrical issues.

Managed the maintenance of the Dynamic Positioning System, which included conducting FMEA sea trials. Trained with Konsberg, L-3, and Converteam systems for offshore vessels.

DP systems surveyor

While at SURF, during my 4 weeks off rotation, I would sub-contract for Noble Denton. I successfully tested the integrity of the Dynamic Positioning systems on several different vessels by conducting advanced equipment analysis on their systems. This included examining, summarizing and incorporating key important information into their technical documents (FMEA’s). Completed first time FMEA documents for new vessels.
