WORK HISTORY:

Current Employer – ICS (P.T.; Sept.’04 to Present; current wage $26 HR)

System has 12 extraction wells, 1 trench pump, 2 transfer pumps, air stripper, blower, compressor, carbon filter tank, analog - discrete - capacitance sensors, flow meters, motor cntrls, PLCs. Remote accessible, reporting out alarms & production.

The job includes adjustments, monitoring, onsite equip, controls & instrument repairs, maintenance & sampling for lab analysis.

Immediate super: ICS project engineer John Heiser (reference: cell 714-***-****).

Most Recent Main Employer- MPMWC (F.T.; Aug.’06 to June ’12; $24 HR)

Mil Potrero Mutual Water Co, 16275 Askin Dr.,P.O. Box W, Pine Mountain,CA 93222

As Crew Leader / Worker 3, I served in the following capacities:

> Field Super, Project Mngr, Safety Admin, Chief Operator D3 T3, Lead Electrical & Telemetry Tech, Temp Employee Admin., CDHS / HazMat Contact, On-call Duty, etc.

> Established safety procedures & training; wrote regulatory agency compliant docs.

> Chief Water Operator D3 & T3; held highest certs & quality control responsibility.

> Project Lead on water tank, main, well, pump & other repair projects (> 1.2 m$ )

> Interviewed & kept listing of available temp workers; assigned temp projects.

> Team Co-worker on major jobs, safety, mains, pumps/motors, run tools / heavy equip.

> Wrote Field Ops reports & compiled graphs for quarterly board meetings (‘07 to ‘12).

> Wrote status and recommendation reports regarding Tanks, Wells, Pumps & Telemetry,

> Assisted in original CIP & budget formulation, assisted in potential grant prerequisites

> Plant Electrician / instrument tech; motors, pumps, controls, SCADA telemetry, radios, analog & digital instrumentation integration, programming modifications, etc.

> Routine rotation week-end / after hours On-Call duty (system operations, trouble calls)

> Routine customer service orders, system equipment repairs, maintenance & monitoring

> Met CDHS & other agency representatives to identify needed compliance due to past ignored sampling requirements, lower arsenic MCL, & continued use of chlorine gas.

> Researched, defined scope of work & received quotes on outside services when needed.

I operate: Dump truck, backhoe, dump trailer, S.B.fork lift, asphalt & pipe cutting saws, jackhammers, compactors, portable generators – pumps & compressors, shoring equip, tig/arc welders, cutting torches, threading & pipe installation tools, hoists, pullers, bearing press, pipe tube bending flaring, torque wrenches, hi-pot testers, multi-testers, milliamp sources, refrigerant pumps, laptop based PLC, data logger, timers, RTU, controllers & radio equipment device programming / diagnostic software, txr signal strength meters, leak detection equip, pipe locators, water quality test kits, etc..

MPMWC has over 20 pressure zones (mountainous), 8 wells, 9 booster pumping stations, a dozen pressure reduction stations, gravity filter bed “turbulent backwash” treatment plant, 14 tanks (welded, bolted & pressure tanks; totaling approx 3 MG), 1 chlorine gas & 2 sodium hypo. injection sites (naturally occurring iron in water eliminated need for potassium permanganate injection to filter media), an 18 station wireless telemetry PC based HMI SCADA / Zetron control system, emergency power generators w/ switch gear at 3 hydro-pneumatic tank sites.

Within the approx 6 years I worked at MPMWC, I largely assisted bringing water operations into accepted safety practices, common administration standards, and into current compliance with evolving regulatory standards. I facilitated building, tank, well, pump, valve & water main renovations. I was able to stabilize a problematic telemetry controls system, reducing downtime & out-sourced technical support costs, wrote misc. crew safety & troubleshooting procedures & delegated establishment of parts inventories, maintenance progress lists, digitizing & updating of old system “as built” prints, etc..

Within my first year of employment with MPMWC I was a promoted to Crew Leader (Worker 3), I had applied for MPMWC’s “hands on” manager position just previously. After my 4th year as field supervisor, the selected manager began implementing his “distributed management” program, my administrative roles were mostly distributed amongst the 4 crew members, which did raise their productivity.

I successfully managed extensive tank & well renovations (> 1.5 million dollars), debugging the SCADA telemetry system, writing the initial CDHS accepted “arsenic blending plan” (in addition to continued participation in rotating on-call duty & team repair / maintenance duties).

As highest paid and senior W3 T3 Operator, I was “laid off” after completing the Manager’s last project assignment for me: writing Status & History reports, Crew Troubleshooting Guidelines & Course Of Action Recommendation reports on MPMWC’s Electrical & Telemetry Control Systems (technology upgrades had not been documented before I worked there). My lay-off saving MPMWC a badly needed 70k/yr.

The Manager got the Board to give me severance pay & wrote me recommendation letters expressing my contributions to MPMWC. I can produce those docs & you can call General Manager Steve Wieneke (good reference) at 661-***-****; MPMWC office.

Previous Main Employer - National Cement Co (F.T. June’96 to June’06; $24 HR)

National Cement Company, Highway 138, Lebec, CA 33503

Electrician / Instrumentation Technician at the “24hr / 7day per week” Precalciner, Cement Manufacturing, Surface Mining, Automated Truck Load-out operation located in Lebec California, performing a wide variety of electrical equipment & control systems troubleshooting, repairs & maintenance.

A large part of my job for several years was doing necessary field debugging of new PLC system programming, instrumentation & controlled device integration that resulted from a pre-mature departure of Bechtel commissioning personnel (financial reasons). We worked through the transition from a hard wired DCS w/ multiple PID loop controls (hundreds of control switches, safety circuits, indicator lights & dozens of analog / PID controllers controlling various motor driven equipment & variable processes), to a primarily buss distributed PLC system w/ some standalone PC based or smaller PLC based sequential controls on moving equipment, at truck loading / unloading stations & ball mills. I also troubleshot & serviced air conditioning & sub-systems for robotic sampling analysis operations in the Central Control building. I also worked on telemetry for remote well / tanks ops and moving stacker & reclaimer machinery.

Due to the complexity of the 24/7 operations, about half of my “lone electrician” graveyard & swing shift duties were troubleshooting one problem or another (varying in complexity from shorted wiring to replacement of large motors, PLC component repairs, calibration of weigh feeders, precalciner stack emissions analyzer calibration / repairs, debugging sequential startups of ball mills & automated truck load-out problems & skid based hydraulic material gate & belt systems.).

When operations allowed, we changed out bulbs, lighting ballasts, cleaned & ground tested electrical field devices & the 12+ dust choked (air conditioned) Motor Control Centers, replaced or repaired misc.dust collector pulse cleaning equipment, silo level indicating devices, thermocouples, Bech actuators, Fisher control valves, installed new conduit, pulled wire, installed safety devices, light fixtures, pumps & new technology devices as required.

In 2006, although I was excused from NCC duty (& off shift anyhow), I was seen working at my part time ICS job (located on the 500+ acre NCC lease), and due to that Electric Shop Foreman’s handling of the information, the then Human Resources Manager decided unequivocally to fire me. I was a conscientious & productive employee.

Previous Main Employer – Ventura County Gen.Srvcs.Agncy (F.T.;‘86 to’96;$16 HR)

Ventura County G.S.A. 800 S.Victoria Ave., Ventura, CA 93001 Ph. 805-***-****

I worked as a Building Equipment Mechanic, a Senior Building Equipment Mechanic, and then (due to discrimination complaints) we were all called Building Maintenance Engineers.

Assigned 1 year at the “new” Santa Paula Jail Facility, maintained an absorption chiller, large scale evaporative cooling system, commercial kitchen appliances, sewage treatment aeration tanks, Folger Adams locking devices, lighting & plumbing fixtures.

Assigned 3.5 years at the self contained old Sea Bee base, Rose Valley Detention facility. In addition to having responsibility for the power plant, mess hall, housing facilities & work barn, I was the chief water operator of the potassium permanganate turbidity treated, water distribution system. I also supervised/facilitated some honor inmates in semi-skilled electrical & plumbing work (unofficially).

After 10 yrs service, gave 30 days notice & began work for National Cement (10yrs).

Offshore Logistics, Crowley Maritime & Global Marine Drilling Co.(salary;’72 -’84)

Offshore Logistics (now only helicopters), Morgan City / Lafayete, LA

Global Marine Drilling Co., Houston, TX & Crowley Maritime, Singapore.

As Oiler(30%), Assistant Engineer(30%) & Chief Engineer(40%) I made decisions, communications & actions to assure onboard systems integrity & the maintaining of sufficient resources to maintain stable operations as prescribed by the Captain / Port Captain & Port Engineer. I planned for repair work in advance, having necessary parts & out-sourced assistance available to minimize downtime & kept the Captain & shore managers apprised. I kept official records, maintained a fuel, fresh water, materials & parts inventory sufficient for contingencies.

I worked with & supervised the Crew making pump, engine, generator, tank, valve, electrical / hydraulic & pneumatic system repairs. We changed out motors, completely overhauled pumps, overhauled compressor valve assemblies, changed out Caterpillar D398 /D399 & GMC head assemblies, turbo-chargers, E.M.D. power packs, maintained hydraulic & pneumatic steerage & windlass systems, motorized deck tuggers & tow winches, operated precision transfers of fuel, water & bulk materials. We took shifts.

These systems included synchronized generator operations, various water, fuel & bulk pumping operations, propulsion engines, hydraulic & pneumatic systems, motors & rams, variable pitch propulsion, sewage & fresh water systems, walk-in refrigerators freezers, pneumatic bulk pumping of cement & barite materials, reverse osmosis & evaporative water makers, navigation instrumentation, lighting, radio, sonar & radar equip, tow winches, bow thrusters, anti-sway devices, DC motor driven draw-works/propulsion, etc..

Water Purveyor - Del Oro Water Co - (F.T. most of 1974; $8.45 HR)

Del Oro Water Co., Refer: Bob Fortino Manager (still knows me) Ph.530-***-****.

Utility Serviceman with Del Oro Water Company, Magalia, CA in 1974, we installed hundreds of water meters / boxes. The main “well” was an abandoned gold mine shaft. I gave 30 days notice and left for then better paying work in the offshore oil industry in southeast Asia & gulf of Arabia for less than two years (returning to work in the U.S.A.).
