************@*****.*** ·linkedin.com/in/johnjoyce119/ · I am looking for a full-time position in the field of Electrical Engineering that utilizes my experience in the Nuclear, and Oil and Gas industries as a system engineer, and design/projects engineer. I use my applied systems-oriented experience to create unique solutions to complex problems resulting in systems which are reliable, simple to operate, and easy to troubleshoot. EXPERIENCE

SEPTEMBER 2019 – OCTOBER 2020

PROJECT ENGINEER, MARATHON PETROLEUM COMPANY

As an electrical and instrumentation (E&I) project engineer, I was responsible for the timely and on- budget execution of multiple projects. In addition to these projects I provided technical expertise for the Tank Turnaround program and day to day support for the operations department.

• Project manager for a portfolio including the installation of pressure instrumentation, flow instrumentation, level instrumentation, lighting improvements, process safety improvements, and operational comfort improvements. As the project manager of this portfolio I used industry benchmark metrics to rank the priority of these projects, ensuring the right project were being implemented at the right time.

• Identified strong business driver projects, notably a project to decrease the amount of slop oil generated in the refinery, using a strap on ultrasonic flow meter to decrease total cost and unit downtime, generating an IRR of 1400%.

• Led a project fixing an extremely dangerous and inadequate warning system that was insufficient to prevent a major explosion in the Heavy Slop System by creating a permanent system fix to prevent the explosion, instead of merely warning that an explosion was imminent.

• Commissioned 15+ tanks to support the tank turnaround program.

• Supported the day-to-day operational needs of the Oil Movements Area Team. I actively engaged in regular maintenance activities as the area I&E SME to catch code deviations including a job to install a temporary motor driven de-watering pump fed from an existing overhead 13.8kV power line correcting the cable size and installation method. MAY 2017 – SEPTEMBER 2019

NUCLEAR SYSTEMS ENGINEER, ENTERGY RIVERBEND NUCLEAR STATION Nuclear Instrumentation and Controls system engineer responsible for system advocacy, system performance monitoring and trending, preventative maintenance optimization and implementation, and troubleshooting. As the system owner, I was responsible for the reliable operation and system health, of multiple control systems associated with GE BWR-6 reactors.

• Responsible for engineering products including Adverse Condition Analyses, Troubleshooting Plans, Failure Modes and Effects Analyses, and Plan of Action plans. As a team member to an Emergent Issues Team, I was the Instrumentation and Controls SME 2

for critical controls systems and wrote multiple dispositions for these systems to correct issues and monitor system health.

• Responsible for obtaining full funding for a $13 million digital controls system upgrade to increase plant reliability and decrease the mean to repair of the Reactor Water Level Control system.

• First responder to plant issues involving plant instrumentation and controls systems to troubleshoot issues. I was responsible for the timely resolution of complex control systems issues in a high-pressure environment.

MAY 2016 – AUGUST 2016

SUMMER CO-OP ENGINEERING E&I, MARATHON PETROLEUM COMPANY As an electrical and instrumentation Co-Op, with a mentor’s guidance I was given the opportunity to learn about the Oil and Gas Industry and apply my education as an Electrical Engineering student to perform meaningful work for the Marathon Garyville Refinery.

• Lead projects to introduce new technology to an aging refinery, including upgrading a Honeywell STD differential pressure transmitter to a Rosemount ERS differential pressure transmitter system.

• Lead projects to increase the reliability of existing process variables, including an upgrade to a pressure control valve with a local controller to a pressure transmitter/ positioner system controlled by the DCS.

• Created Instrument Change packages for instruments as needed as well as design support for various other projects.
