Worked the funding project list for the CPS plant as well as transmission and distribution overhead network,provided design for the radio controlled overhead crane control upgrade for 7 bays, provided protective relay documentation and troubleshooting support, provided documentation to the generator inspection and overhall contractor, performed project support for all Prudhoe Field Facilities inside and outside electrical modifications and provided scope details for the construction demo or construction modification. Provided support for the 69 kV substation projects and maintenance, Provided PSV valve calibration support to ensure schedule was met for safety valves, Strong experience with arctic conditions, classified areas and associated proper specifying of equipment for these extreme areas. Support for the power station control room electrical issues, data retrieval and instrumentation maintenance.

London, England, Gb

Facility Engineer for MPU oil and gas production facility. Operations and maintenance as well as construction support. Mechanical, process and electrical . Drawing edits, reviews, fixes, safety evaluations. Worked extensively on making sure documentation was kept current on all projects. worked with designers to ensure proper edits performed, performed safety audits according to BP schedule, worked safety instrumented system issues according to BP specs, supported arc flash calcs and labeling on electrical panels and supported the proper PPE for the location, supported electrical isolations where important as well as practical in performing maintenace, supported the Wells Group active project list both mechanical and electrical projects, designed 5 kV electrical boxes for the wells group which are still being ordered and used, supported the electrical downhole pump assemblies and surface electrical infrastructure, addressed custom electrical applications when called upon. Told them "no" when I believed it was the right decision and needed a different approach.

Anchorage, Alaska, Us

Electrical construction engineer for the BP Milne Point Projects TeamWorked on completion of electrical design for “S” Pad in 2002 and saw to completion, supported operations and maintenance electrical projects, modifications to the production facility inside and outside, managed buried 13.8 kV cable replacements, In 2005 was the Lead E/I Construction engineer on the removal of one 13.8 kV 25 MVA generator and the replacement with a refurbished "Brush" generator. There were many issues electrical and mechanical that had to be addressed. Provided commissioning direction to success. Much support for code driven issues including field listing of the Centrlift VSD's. In 2007 witnessed a high current exposure test on 2 of the drives in a Utility test area in North Carolina. The current was a 40,000 amp wave which the drive detected and shut itself off without any damage. The drives were field listed by UL. Strong experience with code ethics and arctic installations as the adopted year of the NEC was state law in Alaska. Witnessed the harmonic affects of the VSD's serving the downhole electrical pumps and found the 6 pulse drives had no harmonic mitigation. Began specifying 12 pulse drives to help mitigate the harmonic power affects. Trained using ETAP power system software and modeled the entire BP Milne Point Facilty and subsequently performed the arc flash calculations and made panel labels and installed them for safety compliance.

Design build electrical engineer of record in Washington State, design of partial buildouts and complete projects including high rise commercial design and construction.

Engineer of record on design build projects ranging from small electrical space buildouts to high commercial design and construction. Strong experience with building service entrance, switchgear and switchboard applications, distribution buildouts and space circuiting which harmonic mitigation.

Bellevue, Wa, Us

Mechanical and electrical project engineering in consulting firm. Led design of several Military building projects which included power system switchboard and panel configuration, lighting design using photometric software, lightning protection, cathodic protection, relay protection and coordination, CSI specification development

Anchorage, Alaska, Us

Supervisory role in managing teams of electrical inspectors on a unique Alyeska Pipeline electrical inspection of all of the pump stations looking for code non-conformances, citing potential safety repairs to be performed.

Anchorage, Alaska, Us

Construction engineer for Marathon Oil Company on the Steelhead Platform in Cook Inlet. Performing various maintennace projects as well as Project management of Projects including installation of a Ross Hill variable power factor correction device in the drilling electrical module. Used MS Projects to manage the staffing and costs, designed the install, tested the install with data acquisition equipment to validate the results. Installed K factor rated drilling transformers to complete the project. Data showed a significnt decrease in apparent power and thus a cooling affect on the drilling transformers.

Seattle, Wa, Us

Masters Degree program in electrical engineering. Was a member of the Power Lab research team. Assisted in the development of a variable power factor correction controller using power electronics and zero crossover control in order to minimize the stress when adding capacitance. Built and tested device in Lab and tested on a saw mill load on Puget Power Utility successfully. Device was later patented by University of Washington. Also did masters thesis designing a motor test bench system for the Power Lab students which included software, watt/var transducer design, and DC measurement device. System retrieved data from the motor bench which included AC and DC motors so students could see the dynamic affects of load and unloading ac and dc motors. Received MSEE in 1992.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Us

Mechanical engineer doing electrical controls design for large square footage food distribution centers serving supermarkets around the US. Designed refrigeration control panels which controlled the refrig compressors, zone temperature, motor controls, energy management oriented system. Used a Hewlett packard computer system to provide the digital controls via programming. Wrote HP softweare for the first applications. Performed commissioning of the system, equipment and SCADA sensors onsite for several projects located in Aurora, Colorado, Houston, Texas, Fort Worth, Texas, Miami, Florida, Newton, Mass, Seattle, Wa. Strong experience in ladder logic diagramming for the control systems at that time using alot of electromechanical relays which later were replaced by PLC logic at a space and cost savings.
