Led and collaborated with inter-disciplinary professionals on engineering, design, drafting, construction, FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing), prototype testing, validation and commissioning of a state-of-the art goat cheese factory that included multiple long term R&D projects. Directed and managed contracted engineering services, projects (concept to completion), scheduling, contractors, task delegation and team supervision. Ensured compliance to applicable engineering, regulatory, safety and quality standards through regular inspections, permit acquisition, agency co-operation (i.e. CFIA, TSSA, OH&S) and continuous improvements. Met tight deadlines, maximized project dollars and achieved budget constraints by applying design simplifications, re-purposing equipment and negotiating cost competitive purchases to support rapid business growth.Key ProjectsState-of-the Art Automated Goat Cheese Factory ($8MM)Liquid Storage Silos & Coagulation Tank Layout ($3MM)Trade Secret Automated Production Process ($2MM)Cryogenic Mixer ($800K)4,500 Sq.
