Responsible for all phases of engineering work in global support of the vertical turbine product line including, functions in development, engineering systems, product testing, order engineering, and sustaining engineering. Acted as Lead Engineer in all customer-facing interactions, including warranty, field service, and customer service issues of a technical nature. • Identified and closed skill/competency gaps in team expansion to from 3 local and 2 remote engineers to 13 local and 7 remote engineers. • Specified and oversaw US $3M+ in Capex improvements to Product Testing Lab• Successfully completed audit by Hydraulic Institute to ANSI HI std 40.6, where it was noted that several features incorporated in new test facility were “best-in-class”.• Significantly expanded product options included in ANSI/NSF 61/372 standard.• Lead team in obtaining industry’s first vertical turbine pump listing to the ANSI/NSF 50 standard.• Led Engineering team to complete audit testing and subsequent listing in accordance with US Dept of Energy standard 10 CFR § 431.465.• Instituted a statistical approach to product performance; determining acceptable performance standard deviations, and investigating non-conforming product. This lead to improvements in the correlation between product performance and published data, resulting in an increase in first pass yield from 70% to 85% over a span of 18 months • Localized vertical turbine product into production facilities located in Dubai UAE, Lima Peru, Nanjing China, and Vadodara India plants.• Lead engineering team in the development and product launch of the Large Bowl Turbine product portfolio for bowl sizes ranging from 30" to 48" in diameter along with a Capex project of over $250K for facility upgrades.

New role created to combine all accountabilities from Custom Engineering Manager, and Engineering Systems Manager roles.

Responsible for directing a newly formed group with 4-6 direct subordinates in the advance of technological, systemic, procedural, and structural changes to improve the efficiency and accuracy of all Engineering related activities. • Define and maintain all engineering calculation methods, including structural, hydraulic, seismic, and ventilation.• Review and approve all standard product changes prior to implementation.• Recommended, implemented, and released design modifications and simplifications to both electrical (UL 508) and mechanical products to increase standard product design flexibility.• Planned and oversaw conversion of drafting functions from 2D AutoCAD to 3D Autodesk Inventor in eight different products.• Completed Value Engineering exercises, including SKU rationalization, on eight different product families. Effort reduced required custom engineering by 20% over two-year span.• Through product simplification and use of Lean principles, altered production work flow to eliminate waste. • Principal author of all product configurators in the Company's ERP system (Avante’ by Epicor).

Responsible for the management of a group of nine design drafters as well as the scheduling for an additional four electrical designers to modify or design as directed by project specifications.• Provide engineering validation for all custom engineering work.• Provide oversight and guidance to design drafters on all technical issues.• Manage Engineering schedules to ensure completion of assigned tasks in a timely fashion.• Work across departmental lines to resolve any design issues that may arise during design approval, fabrication, or as a result of warranty action. Modify design practices to ensure similar issues do not occur in the future.• Provide hour estimates for all engineered-to-order project quotations• Responsible for approx $30M in project value per year, with project size varying from 16 man-hours to 2K man-hours per project.

Responsible for the creation and maintenance of the Company’s product designs as directed by the Manager, Design Engineering.• Lead design engineer for a new pump station design project. Proposed and then carried out design as the first new product completed entirely as a digital proto-type using the Autodesk Inventor modeling tool. Only a single physical proto-type was required.• Designed new production work flows for new products to minimize waste using Lean principles.• Introduced, validated and implemented FEA (Finite Element Analysis) tools into the Engineering team.• Awarded two patents for lifting mechanisms• Worked with multiple motor manufacturers to author Company's custom motor specification.

Support the sales function by reviewing specifications and plan sheets for wastewater treatment projects and determine the most economical manner in which the Company can meet the intent of the project specifications. • Performed initial review of plans and specifications to determine whether any of the Company’s goods or services could be represented.• Coordinate the efforts of engineering design personnel and internal cost estimators to develop a cost estimate and Sales Agreement and to be a partner in the review of same before submission as an official project bid.

Responsible for coordination of all Company activities to ensure product is delivered as specified, on time and on budget.• Reviewed plans and specifications to confirm that product sold will meet specified requirements; bringing any needed deviations to the attention of sales personnel.• Create Engineering Order document to specify how Company will need to alter its standard product to meet specific job requirements.• Independently created Smith & Loveless’s ESP (Electronic Selection Program); a pump selection program distributed to the Company’s external sales force to aid in the proper selection of a family of pumps. • Module Administrator for Order Entry, Bid & Quotation, and Product Estimating modules in the Avante’ ERP system (by Epicor)
