Operate Brewery Utilities systems including: steam, CO2 collection, ammonia refrigeration and de-humidification, compressed air and water.Responsible for all OSHA PSM and EPA RMP issues, documentation, procedures, incidents, training, record keeping, and maintenance tasks involving the ammonia refrigeration system.Manage plant PSM sharepoint, monthly PSM meeting, and Management of Change Projects.Daily focus involves analysis of large data sets and trending to determine best operating procedures resulting in high efficiency of utility systems and data driven decision making.Use pressure, temperature, RPM, KWH, flow, level, vibration, concentration, purity, PH, Conductivity, ORP, noise, smell, and vision to determine operational issues and maintain supply of mission critical services to utilities customers, brewing and packaging.Create, maintain, review, and update all standard operating procedures for the utilities department.coordinate review process to maintain up to date documentation of lock out tag out procedures which promote a safe working environment, ensuring our department's 16 year safety record is upheld. Create interactive process maps that drive employee engagement and acceptance of VPO tools that are intuitive and easy to use.Use formulas, info-graphics, pivot tables, and pareto charts, to display, summarize and make decisions with large data-sets, review accumulated data and make observations regarding plant efficiency and potential improvement opportunities.monitor fuel and electrical usage cost in dollars in real-time and make decisions based on that information resulting in better KPI performance for the department and brewery.consistently push the envelope to achieve KPI targets and use VPO tools to drive constant improvement to maintain the lowest cost while providing uninterrupted utilities services. top priorities are safety, quality, efficiency, zero process interruption.

DUTIES:Starts systems and observes operation.Respond to emergency calls regarding refrigeration on production floorEnsure continued production operation as it relates to refrigeration equipment.Use knowledge of water chemistry to maintain and service equipment.Dismantle malfunctioning systems and test components using electrical mechanical and pneumatic testing equipment.Read gauges and instruments and adjust mechanisms to control level of fluid, pressure and temperature in system.Perform repairs, overhauls, and start-ups of commercial and industrial ammonia refrigeration systemsPerform preventative maintenance, site surveys, replacement, and modifications as needed or requested by management and engineering team.Prepare for on-site installation and repairs by examining building layout, anticipating difficulties, gathering materials and coordinating on-site work, as necessaryFlawless record of zero production days lost due to ammonia refrigeration equipment failure or other causes in my area of responsibility.

Largest Hands-On Ammonia Operator Training, Industrial Refrigeration Training, Ammonia School. GCAP offers comprehensive training that teaches how to operate and maintain ammonia refrigeration systems at a maximum safety and performance level. These training seminars specially target maintenance mechanics, supervisors, operating engineers, plant engineers, facilities managers, PSM coordinators and plant management at all level.All courses are taught by professional experts with hands-on equipment and live training material. GCAP premises include several 15,000 square foot facilities, an engine room with 14 compressors.4 boilers, and co2 cascade systems.GCAP has just finished rewriting their PSM (Process Safety Management) and NEP (National Emphasis Program) courses.PSM - The new PSM course offered exclusively by GCAP is a re-envisioning of Process Safety Management implementation based on the experiences of the Ammonia refrigeration industry over the past 15+ years, the guidance from the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS), the NEP guidance from OSHA and the over 8,000 pages of OSHA citations GCAP has amassed from Freedom of Information requests.NEP – OSHA’s National Emphasis Program for Chemical Facilities evolved in part from the consistent deficiencies found in OSHA’s PSM NEP on refineries. After a 2 year pilot program in 3 regions, OSHA has now rolled out their Chemical NEP inspections nation-wide targeting Ammonia Refrigeration Systems. In anticipation of this massive change in PSM implementation compliance auditing, GCAP designed this course around the lessons learned in the pilot program. Currently, GCAP is the only training organisation in the world offering a 40-hours course specifically on how to implement PSM to the modern requirements under the NEP compliance initiatives.
