Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada

Represent the interests of the group in coordinating with major capital projects and operations at the five wastewater treatment plants, and evaluate alternative and novel technologies for biosolids management.

Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada

•Led co-processing initiative focused on implementing an operational strategy to process bio-feedstock into diesel and successfully integrated the process into the refinery.•Increased refinery profitability through processing contaminated crude. Evaluated feedstock, performed the statistical analysis, and coordinated cross-functional team to evaluate risk vs benefit. •Managed contracts for co-processing projects by developing RFP to define the scope and evaluate proposals in terms of skillset, cost, and other factors to make optimal contractor selection.

Calgary, Canada Area

•Lead multi-disciplinary in-situ development project such as plant debottleneck, risk mitigation, equipment strategy and facility efficiency improvement projects. •Define problem and opportunity with cross-functional team. Facilitate divergent thinking to identify options and converging thinking to screen options.•Analyze multiple options by comparing scope complexity, economic benefit, investment risk and business strategy. Develop Decision Support Package that outlines overall project benefit and risk.

Calgary, Canada Area

•Developed site-based Management of Change (MOC) projects, including logic change, equipment modification, plant trial, and material upgrade. •Coordinated preliminary engineering design and participated in project execution to manage project scope and risk throughout project lifecycle. •Assessed plant limitations, identified debottleneck opportunities and produced technical report to support the long term development strategy. •Managed multi-disciplinary initiatives to manage short-term plant constraints. Developed execution strategies to ensure stakeholder alignment.

Fort Mcmurray (Firebag Sagd Facility)

•Developed scoping study for issues in the plant, which includes engineering assessment, opportunities, potential solutions, and risk ranking.•Facilitated risk assessment with diverse stakeholders to define issues, analyze consequences, determine risk rank and develop mitigation plan.•Evaluated multiple modes of operation, analyze cost and risk, and provide guideline to operations group to maintain optimal plant condition. •Defined operational risk during Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), analyzed residual risks and implemented recommendations.

Fort Mcmurray (Mackay River Sagd Facility)

•Facilitated unit throughput test by developing plan based on engineering analysis and conducted test by collaborating with operations, Produced technical reports with ways to maximize unit capacity.•Defined operating specifications and targets as well as safe operating limits by analyzing process data, operating history and equipment datasheet.•Performed chemical optimization by evaluating technical proposal from a vendor, conduct chemical trial, evaluate performance data and provide selection recommendation with cost benefit. •Conducted various process upset investigations by analyzing field data, lab sample and mode of failure. Evaluated root-cause and identified mitigation measures.

Fort Mcmurray

•Updated process flow diagram for in-situ facility by comparing DCS, P&ID and process simulation; collaborated with a lead process engineer to produce a heat and material balance table.•Performed a field walkdown to identify discrepancy between P&ID and field configuration. Facilitated meetings with operations and engineering team to resolve field findings, and updated engineering information.•Created various spreadsheets to validate status of engineering documents in process safety information package, and produced summary report with recommendations.
