Detailed Experience
Sr. Process Engineer (Jacobs)
 Provided Process Safety Management (PSM) services to client companies, for OSHA
compliance and continuous process safety improvement.
 Used Process Hazards Analysis (PHA) methods to lead project EHS Design
Review of new regenerative thermal oxidizer for an acrylic-styrene-acrylonitrile
resin process.
 Led and documented multi-week team efforts for new comprehensive Initial
PHAs of a polybutadiene latex facility and an ASA resin facility.
 Led and documented Initial PHA for a petroleum tar process vent gas collection
and abatement system, identifying and offering solutions for multiple scenarios
with catastrophic risk.
 Developed expertise with “Leader” PHA software.
 Provided PSM audit services, including pre-audits and assistance to client’s
corporate audit team.
 Conducted and documented a thermal relief valve minimization study, resulting in
recommendation to eliminate up to 11 relief valves (~$50,000 annualized savings),
while also identifying unprotected equipment and offering solutions to optimize
coverage.
 Assisted large-cap project team (polypropylene catalyst) by performing hydraulic
studies for design of utility piping networks, facilitating scope changes (including
P&ID updates and sizing of pressure relief devices), and quality-checking P&IDs and
other deliverables.

influenced client’s adoption of electric vaporization system over other proposed
systems with low chance of success. Responsibilities included P&ID generation,
scope and basic data development, hydraulic and heat transfer calculations.
 Led process efforts to install a new bagging and palletizer system for a potassium
monopersulfate powder product (~1MM project). Responsibilities included P&ID
generation and compressed air system design.
 Led process efforts to replace a 30M gallon 93% sulfuric acid tank (~$1MM project).
Responsibilities included P&ID generation, scope and basic data development
including pump and pipe sizing.
 Served as process lead for early phase P&ID and scope development of a large-cap
upgrade to a soy protein isolate process, utilizing horizontal decanter/centrifuges.
 Served as process lead for a $1.5MM project to upgrade an electronics-grade
polymer facility. Responsibilities included P&ID generation, scope and basic data
development, equipment specification and requisitioning. Technologies involved
include steam/glycol temperature control, pressure relief, clean-in-place, and glass
and Teflon lined equipment for ultra-low metals exposure.
 Provided expertise to a junior team in a $120K P&ID walkdown/verification project.
Process/Project Engineering (Owner-Operators)
Siloxanes (Reliability, Process Improvement)
 Improved OEE from 90% (2007) to 95% (4Q08) thru team efforts to reduce process
upsets and MTBF.
 Increased production by 50% in two processes with debottlenecking including a
steam-to-Syltherm conversion.
 Participated in 6-Sigma teams to qualify process for REACh legislation thru
improvement of vacuum, heat transfer and process control.
Automotive Assembly Paint Shops (Quality, Supervision, Project Mgmt.)
 Six-Sigma black belt certified w/ several DMAIC projects for >$100K/yr hard cost
savings.
 Served as principle project engineer and resource for all project management issues,
including project writing, equipment selection, purchasing, and funds management for
department. Managed over $6MM in projects.
 Used troubleshooting and investigative tools (cause / effect, FMEA, etc.) and
manufacturing management tools (TPM, Lean Mfg., OEE / MTBF / MTTR analysis,
etc.) for improvements in safety, quality, delivery and cost.
 Managed labs (paint and phosphate / e-coat) and supervised lab support personnel
and quality / SPC technicians.
 Instrumental in ISO and other quality initiatives. Developed procedure methodology.
Wrote and updated many procedures and performed numerous audits.
