Objective

To develop Mechanical Engineering knowledge, skill and experience by working in an environment that can enhance my skills in design, computation, writing and report production.

Relevant Experience

Cameron

Manufacturing Engineer Aug 2017 – Jun 2020

Analyzed and improved plant and vendor processes to reduce plant scrap and cost of non-conformity. By

implementing a scrap reporting system, where none existed before, total scrap cost were reduced by 40%.

Designed and built fixtures and presses for gearbox assembly. Many of these fixtures were used in hammer elimination projects reducing the potential for plant injuries.

Evaluated and implemented new tools for use in the machine shop. New tools would be designed or

purchased and implemented most effectively, using engineering analysis.

SandMold Systems

Project Engineer July 2016 – July 2017

Used 3-D and 2-D modeling to design, arrange and detail foundry equipment to be fabricated at the SandMold shop as well as by outside fabricators.

Oversaw and implemented foundry projects from start to finish, being responsible for suitable design, purchasing required machinery and finishing within required timeframe and cost.

Performed engineering calculations on structures and machinery using engineering analysis and AISC codes. The calculations were used in the implementation of a design or to modify and improve an existing one.

ThyssenKrupp Stainless/Outokumpu Stainless

Mechanical Engineer 2014 -2016

Participated and concluded a professional engineering development program that gave career experience as a Mechanical Engineer in multiple areas of plant operation. Projects involving design and maintenance planning were studied, developed and had to be implemented in the production areas of the plant.

Engineering calculations and AutoCAD were used to design production line and part modifications to improve reliability and wear life of various machine components. Often, protective modifications were implemented to protect high cost or high wear parts. These modifications resulted in greater protection of high cost components or a large increase of machine lifespan which in turn decreased production cost.

Performed engineering studies on problem prone machine components. New materials and engineering modifications were proposed to improve machine functionality.

Developed cost savings and logistical improvement projects such as a parts tracking matrix. Researched and studied to see if parts assemblies with components from various suppliers could be unified and stored as a singular part assembly in our warehouse, resulting in more predictable lead times and less machine downtime.

Maintenance Planner 2013-2014

Planned shutdowns for the cold rolling mills, taking into account needed manpower, available spares and required downtime. The benefit of this was reduction of waste; tools were correct for the job, required parts were known before job started and disorganization was kept to a minimum.

Assisted in building maintenance strategies and plans for all areas of the cold rolling works plant in SAP. This was important at the time because the plant was transitioning from ramp-up to regular production. These strategies and plans were previously not in place and much of the maintenance was being done on a reactive basis. Proper maintenance cycles had to be considered and functional locations and equipment areas had to be defined with SAP. These efforts resulted in the benefit of uniformity between areas in best work practices.

Implemented recurring preventative and predictive maintenance strategies by consulting machine documentation as well as engineer and technician input to make most effective plan. Also improved upon already existing maintenance strategies by recording actual needed completion time, addressing issues of accessibility, needed parts and adjusting recurrence cycles to meet machine needs. This effort reduced planning time by using past history to organize maintenance projects.

Mechanical Specialist 2012 - 2013

Determined needed spare parts to be bought or fabricated by collecting data and specifications from drawings and technical documentation as well as consulting with engineers and technicians. This responsibility benefitted the operation of the plant by ensuring that critical spares were on inventory

Provided assistance to mechanics during preventative and reactive maintenance shutdowns to gain further insight into determining needed spares. This increased the mechanics time to work on projects and allowed myself firsthand learning experience in the maintenance environment

Often dealt with foreign suppliers that were supplying custom made parts or parts with long lead times. Responsibilities required determining needed spares quantities for use in our warehouse while considering multiple variables such as cost, lead time and criticality. Custom parts were identified for sourcing and local suppliers would be found to source these parts when possible. A reduction in cost and lead time was gained from this effort.

Supervised temporary employees and interns in our vendor supplied spare parts list project and provided assistance in their information gathering for our spare parts program. This program created list of needed spares to support operations and maintenance at the plant

Engineering Intern 2011 - 2012

Worked on various projects with engineers for the annealing and pickling lines and cold rolling operations. These various projects provided insights and familiarized me with daily plant operations and maintenance. I was also able to assist engineers in plant duties.

Collected, confirmed and organized information to be uploaded into the SAP spare parts database for use in the cold rolling works. This helped ensure that parts information was accurate and up to date as well as provided a recommended spares list from which engineers could choose which parts to be purchased for their lines.

Fowler Engineers

Junior Engineering Consultant 2011

Consultant at Fowler Engineers, performing calculations on commercial and residential building plans and drawings. These calculations were reviewed by the Professional Engineer, would be approved when correct and sent to the builder or architect upon completion.

Calculated wind loads on buildings using RISA-3D and A.S.C.E codes. Various variables had to be considered for safety and insurance reasons such as: distance to coast, potential wind hazards, use of proper building materials and proper building frame design. Wind effects would be modeled in RISA and weak points and areas of concern were noted. These points would be corrected by a modification to the building design when necessary.
