Experience:

Jacobs Engineering – 01/01/16 - 01/01/19:

Brunel Engineering - 01/01/20 -10/31/20:

As Project Lead with Jacobs/Brunel Engineering I verified that the Tank Rebuild Projects were in compliance and help coordinate the multiple crafts/skill sets.

My responsibilities were to review the design and any changes were in compliance with Site Wide Standards, API 650 and API 653.

Ensure all changes both mechanical and procedural were captured and updated. Review for ergonomics and that the Tank Rebuild Projects were on schedule and within budget.

Exxon 1976-2015:

Operations Supervisor: 1986-2000 My responsibilities were to maintain the Olefins ethylene unit. Included manpower resourcing, feed stock distributions. Ensure the unit ran within the design envelope while maintaining production and staying under budget.

Ensure that both the personnel and the equipment conformed to both OSHA and work site standards. Ensure accessibility to all required training and certification. Coordinate and ensure weekly and monthly Safety Meetings were being held and that the meetings were productive.

Ensure working relationships with both the personnel and sub-contractors.

Highly experienced in the planning & leading of multiple minor and major project/design changes. Understanding and application of OSHA 1910 standards. Additionally but not limited to the following:

HAZOP’s

Equipment Strategy

Environmental Compliance

Incident Investigation Team

Safety in Design Team

Safety Relief Review Team

Project Team:2001-2008

As the Operations Lead I worked closely with contractors both in the design and implementation phase. Coordinated the multiple disciplines for the entirety of the projects. Project Lead: 2001- 2015:

Promoted to Project Lead where I now was tasked to interface with all disciplines for both the customer (Exxon) and applicable contractors and disciplines. Coordinated the timelines needed by Operations to ensure that the downtime was minimized and on schedule.

Incident Team 01/2006 to 01/2015 ExxonMobil – Baton Rouge, LA

Being part of the Incident Team we were tasked with determining the root cause of any incident that could have been or had become a major incident.. This required critical team work. In several instances we were assigned to work with OSHA when the incident was of a major impact. I received extensive training and certification in problem solving, deductive reasoning and understanding of human ergonomics.

Additionally, I was promoted to Safe Team Leader where I was tasked to review any design changes to ensure they met the site standards along with OIMS and OSHA 1910.

Education:

High School Diploma: May 1972 Glen Oaks High School - Baton Rouge, La

My resume indicates that my highest level of education was high school. However, the experience I gained and learned over the years with many highly acclaimed engineers provided me with a high level of Practical Expertise. As a result I was eventually promoted to Project Lead and was able to both follow and lead multiple multimillion dollar projects.

Additionally, I became proficient in Safety in Design and gained expertise in working with multiple disciplines, multiple contractors and able to problem solve multiple incidents. I was also assigned as lead on many incident investigations to determine the root cause. This also provided a solid foundation for application of safety standards to coworkers and contractors.

Jacobs/Brunel Engineering:

After my tenure with Exxon, that after my retirement, I was asked to join their company as a contractor and mentor. Those responsibilities have been identified above.

Skill sets and Technologies used in my occupation:

During my tenure our biggest hurdle was interpreting and implementing the OSHA 1910 Standards into plant wide standards which were titled “Safe Management Practices” (SMP’s) which were later changed to the now current “Operations Integrity Management Systems” (OIMS). These standards provided the foundation for all work activities, designs, upgrades and modifications made in the field.

Having help develop the plant wide standards provided me a solid foundation for developing all future work standards, work permitting, project designs, etc. I have had a solid career and hands on experience in the Process Olefins Chemical Plant for 38 years. My position as Project Contact and SAFE Team leader afforded me the opportunity to work with diverse cultures, crafts, differing contractors and differing skill sets. I have worked extensively with Senior Technical, Applications Engineers, Instrument Engineers, Mechanical Supervision, Operations, Safety in Design and worked extensively with JSOC.

My work within the Project Groups required that I interface with multiple outside organizations primarily Environmental to ensure that we met all Environmental Standards and permits. This ensured that upon completion of the design phase we minimized any surprises during implementation. This ensured a safe and on time implementation of all projects

I have been trained and certified and am well versed and have hands on experience and have applied ALL of the applicable OIMS to both Operations and to Projects Designs, Incident Investigations, etc. I received training and was certified in the following:

OIMS 2.1 Risk Assessments and Management

OIMS 3.1 Risk Analysis, Assessment and Management Procedures

RTA: Real Time Alarm Systems

EMMS: Equipment Machine Monitoring System

Bentley Nevada Systems: Vibration Monitoring Systems

Triconex: Reactor Trip Systems

FSSS Trident Systems: Boiler Safeguard Supervisory Systems

UPS: Uninterruptible Power Systems

I was also trained and served as Safe Team Leader which required that I participate and review all changes in design prior to implementation in the field which required applying the following standards.

Project HAZOP Reviews

Project HAZOP is a complete review of proposed facilities (including flow plans or P&IDs and supporting notes, data sheets, equipment drawings, plot plan, and instrumentation) undertaken to identify potential hazard and operability issues. This review addresses all planned operations, including normal operation, startup, shutdown (normal and emergency), and any special operations such as catalyst activation.
