- Supervised a team of mechanical engineers responsible for all mechanical and structural systems.- Led major equipment projects, operated and improved mechanical systems, and developed documentation in all mechanical disciplines, including chillers and boilers, air handling units, pumps and water treatment, industrial reverse osmosis, and irrigation/potable water supply.- Helped establish and document mechanical standards as part of a commissioning authority.• Trained and supervised technical staff responsible for maintenance • Served as lead engineer on technical projects including new building design, heat-pump/boiler installation, building HVAC commissioning, water distribution infrastructure installation, irrigation system design, and reverse osmosis and cooling tower water treatment refurbishment. - Developed staff training programs, maintained engineering drawings and documentation in AutoCAD, acted as primary point of contact for building projects on behalf of the Facilities Department, interacting with clients, contractors, and suppliers, and drafting, negotiating, and enforcing contracts.

- Developed new software functionality for in-lab image meshing program used for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of bone. Worked in C++ using the vtk (Visualization Tool Kit) library of classes. New functionality included torsional loading, determination of centroid of bone, and calculation of applied torque. - Software was tested and used to run FEA on a set of five distal radii (wrist bones) tested to failure during a previous project.

- Coordinated and ran the Production Services (Leasing) department of Enerflex Systems during a senior engineer's leave of absence, playing the role of point person to bring together the sales, engineering, and financial teams- Successfully advanced our business interests and contributed to business development, resulting in the leasing of greater fraction of total owned horsepower (standard measure of return on capital)- Provided customers with natural gas compression equipment to meet their specific needs in a timely fashion at competitive rates- Negotiated equipment buy-out prices with customers when necessary, and ensured compliance with contract provisions- Performed safety checks on all equipment in collaboration with engineering and maintenance departments, in addition to inspecting all equipment in inventory- Brought documentation and drawings database in Microsoft Access up to date through inspection, quality control, and effective communication with regulation authorities- Developed key strategic tools that helped track and measure sales trends and equipment demand- Developed financial model in Microsoft Excel to improve analysis of quoting process and avoid errors
