Company ABC, Tulsa, OK February 2003 – Present
Engineering Manager
Managed department workflow and operations in providing in-house engineering support for a $450
million services company. Developed and reviewed all design concepts and supervised six design
engineers. Scope of work included code driven design calculations; structural, stress, finite element (FEA),
and safety and failure analysis; fitness for service evaluations; and redesign for continuing operation.
Projects included bulk liquid tanks; liquid nitrogen, oxygen, and natural gas (LIN/LOX and LNG) tanks;
floating roofs; refinery equipment; water treatment facilities; and other metal structures.
• Supported project managers from eight regional centers to win contracts / projects by developing
the design aspects of bid packages.
• Provided leadership and direction for 15-20 multiple concurrent projects at any given time.
