Detailed Summary of Individual positions

SRU Console Shift Supervisor

April 2019- June 2015

I was responsible for safe operations of the Sulfur Reducing Unit, via TDC3000 touch screen computer. I ran the unit via computer from inside a bomb proof building. Which means I controlled and operated equipment without physically seeing it. I was responsible for running the equipment within the safety standards set by the design engineers. I had OSHA standards to adhere too, as well as EPA standards.

Energy Field Specialist

June 2015- February 2013

I was responsible for the Energy usage of the entire refinery. I worked with the Process

Engineers of each unit. To create an energy plan for the following year. This included,

Nitrogen usage, steam usage & Electrical usage within each unit. It was my duty to work with

each unit to follow the plan. This included training of the process department operators, 360 of

them. The less energy the refinery used; the savings were planned for in-house projects.

Energy Field Specialist

February 2013- August 2011

This role was responsible for all equipment that was fuel gas fired, ex: boilers, heater, flares.

I was responsible to training any new hires, how to correctly, safety and per design how to

operate their responsible fire equipment.

I was to teach and train the process department of all proper design of their responsible

equipment. Fired heaters, I tough each operator the fundamentals of properly operation of a

heater. Proper flame control, flame height, flame pattern, proper start up and shutdown.

I was responsible to teach each Control Shift Supervisor how to operate their responsible

equipment per Engineering design. How to optimize the heater with the correct O2/fuel gas

mixture to get the optimal burn within burner tip design.

I reported weekly to the Refinery Manager and Process Mangers of the progress of each KIE: Key

Index Envelopes. That’s basically an overview of how safe and efficiently the operators were

running the fired heater equipment.

HOG Team Supervisor- (Hardware Owners Group)

August 2011- July 2008

This group was designed to teach Process Operators how to run their equipment reliably. I had two direct reports. 1 process Operator & 1 Mechanical operator. The 3 of us were responsible to teaching the entire refinery hourly personal how to operate the refinery at its utmost reliable as possible. How to run your pumps reliable. How to properly run their fire equipment.

We taught each new hire in the plant, gave them the basics. Then on a daily bases the HOG team would go to a different unit, 1 of 7 and work with the operators. Have a training secession & a weekly goal. We would then track their progress during that week. The following week we would meet with them again and show their progress and how much money they saved.

When a specific unit made a dramatic safe, we would reward them with what we called a HOG lunch. Our team would by them a huge luncheon for them to celebrate together of their accomplishments. If the savings were large enough. The refinery manager would give that specific unit a larger budget to build something the operators really wanted. Not necessarily needed, but wanted. It was a win-win situation, for them & the entire refinery.

During my time in this job. The refinery was losing money on excess pump repairs, losing money on broken steam lines. After my 3 years in this position. We had saved nearly $3.5 million. Far surpass my predecessor.

Zone Supervisor.

July 2008- July 2002

This was a very stressful job assignment. I was in charge of 3 process units, 30+ operators, budget of $1.2 billion for each unit. My main goal was to keep everyone safe. That entailed daily safety meetings of upcoming job task. Making job packs for each job they were assigned to do. Start to finish. From shutting down the pump, locking out the equipment, draining it safely, proper tag identifying of each possible hazard, H2S, Electrical, caustic, acid, hot material, inert atmosphere. Those are just a few examples of our daily hazards.

I was completely responsible for the proper training of each of my 30+ reports. Make sure they get to the next level knowledge wise, as to get the next pay raise. We had 5 level knowledge progression. Once any operator hit their 4th stage, then I had to start developing a career path for them. And figure how what they needed to get to their destination.

This position was also response for all personal matters. Pay, sick leave, funeral leave, up-pay for stepping up into a supervisor position for a short period of time.

I had to be the bad boss as well and discipline operators as needed and required by SOP standards. AS well as scheduling for my 30+ operators, since we were a 24/7 operation. We had 4 crews of 30 to schedule for.

FCC Console Shift Supervisor, Fluid Catalyst Converter

June 2002- August 2000

This title was very similar to the SRU CSSS. Except we made gasoline, diesel, fuel gas, polypropene. I had to run the unit within Engineer specifications. We had to run the equipment as hot as possible, but within specs. Or the metal would to start cracking. If that happened, you’d blow the entire refinery up. It’s not a job to take lightly. You sat in front of 12 touch screens, which manipulated equipment outside. One wrong move, it could be your last. Killing or hurting everyone outside. So, it wasn’t like watching TV. It was keeping an eye on 3800 points to verify they are within the correct parameters.

Any CSS had to run the unit blind. You run off memory. So, if there was an issue, you had to talk the operator outside, what to look for and how to fix the issues. Without causing other issues.

FCC Operator

August 2000- August 1994

I was responsible for the outside equipment. I was required to make 4-6 rounds through my respective unit. The FCC had 4 different unit’s, within the entire unit. So, we had to train and know all 4 units to become “top level” and top-level pay.

The responsibilities were endless, changing oil of pumps, changing gauges on running pumps. How to properly start and shut down equipment, safely. How to respond to a frozen transmitter or respond to a burnt-up transmitter. Those items were unit inside the control center by the CSS. Without them, they were running blind. Ex: drive a car without a steering wheel at high speeds on a curvy road. It can be done, but it’s no fun.

Pipeliner

Jan 1994 October 1989 in Sundown Tx

October 1989 - October 1987 in Taft California

October 1987- August 15, 1987

A pipeliner was a crew member that did it all. If it broke, we fixed. We worked in what you would call a gathering system. A 120 circle, and anything within that circle we were responsible for. Repairing pumps. Fixing pipeline leaks, with consist of using a backhoe, dig up oil line. We would either patch it or if bad enough. We would have to shut down the entire system, drain it and replace a section of pipe. So, we would weld it. Cover it back up. Restart the system and get the gathering system back on line.

As a pipeliner, you were responsible to learn how to drive a 2.5-ton split axle truck, while pulling a backhoe. And then were expected to operator the backhoe as well.

We were the back fill for the field gaugers, the individual who purchased the oil to be shipped down the pipeline. We also backfilled the Meter operator. He’s job was to verify that all oil field meters that counted a barrel of oil. Was actually a barrel of oil.

Then once you had enough time under your belt. You stepped up to back fill the Construction Foreman. The boss of the operators.

It was the best job of my entire career.
