Senior Field Services Engineer Power Generation

LICENSED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER STATE OF KANSAS

Project Management Plant Modifications HVAC Systems Maintenance

Highly-qualified senior engineer with more than 17 years of progressive experience in analysis, design, setup, implementation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of complex power generation equipment, facilities, and support systems. Possess exceptional team building and leadership skills, as well as interpersonal relations, negotiation, and written and verbal communication abilities. Full lifecycle project manager with demonstrated proposal/contract development, strategic planning, and cost-benefit analysis capabilities. Possesses understanding of Six Sigma and ISO Internal Auditor Processes.

CAREER ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Studied and analyzed row 2 vane refurbishment methods, improving form and fit reinstallations, and repair tooling, reducing warranty claims on gas turbine engines in the fleet by 50%, including Klamath Falls and Batesville. Evaluated gas pilot nozzle and fuel nozzle housing correlation to Blade Path temperature issues. While still in data collection phase, corrections could potentially reduce warranty claims by $250,000, annually in the fleet, including Athens and Hines plants. Through root cause analysis, identified faulty components on Westinghouse generators. Replacement of components in generator stator water cooling system with new components and assemblies saved customer up to $200,000 per forced shutdown.
