CMS Energy, Jackson, Michigan 10/2017 – 2/2023

Project Manager for LVD Automation Program. This project installs automatic transfer reclosers (ATR) on distribution “loops” from the electrical substations to assist in the grid reliability for customers. Managed a yearly project budget ranging from $8M to $15 million per year. This project scope includes installation of “loops” from design through construction, checkout and startup. Increased the annual installation from ten “loops” to 35 per year through streamlining the process, developing work flows and assisted cross functional departments to increase productivity. Success of this project was measured when the “loops” installed for one year saved over 1.5 million customer minutes during a single storm.

Managed the schedule and yearly budgets for the Distribution Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Program (DSCADA). This project upgrades 730 substations over a span of ten years and enables improved response and customer restoration time. This project is the predecessor to other grid improvement projects.
