- Managed Bosch Charleston’s energy program which included energy accounting and billing to production, utility cost and consumption forecasting, and energy consumption target development and deployment.- Implemented energy reducing projects including VFDs for air handling units, seasonal set-point adjustments to reduce chilled and hot water consumption, cycle-time reductions on manufacturing equipment, conversion to LED lighting, and more efficient staging and utilization of heat-treat equipment. - Redesigned and improved nearly every aspect of the energy tracking system to provide significant gains in clarity and granularity with regard to plant-wide energy usage and to ensure continuity between disparate reporting formats.- Led meetings and gave reports and presentations to all levels of management regarding current and future states of the program, target attainment and deviations, and addressing questions and concerns about the redesigned energy tracking system.- REASON FOR LEAVING: Two-year contract ended and I was interested in pursuing a new path with better career prospects and growth potential.
