757-348-6799 • jtempletonjp@gmail.com
PROFILE
Recent MS Nuclear Engineering graduate with 8+ years of success and supervisory experience in
nuclear/mechanical systems management, quality assurance, and personnel development.
Key Accomplishments:
 Orchestrated the receipt, refurbishment, packaging and shipment of several MRI
systems and superconducting magnets including various pre-staging techniques to
reduce installation time in the field by several days, greatly increasing customer
satisfaction, and saving the company over $48,000 per year.
 As Calibration Coordinator went from a work center with nearly 30% of instrumentation
delinquent or out of tolerance in calibration to ensuring 100% of the instruments were
properly calibrated and established a protocol to maintain all instrument calibration by
a margin of several months.
 As a Catapult Supervisor lead watch standers; directly responsible for the maintenance,
operation, and preservation of potentially lethal high pressure, high temperature multi-
million dollar equipment ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.
