Managed a 120 Klbs/hr Biomass fueled steam plant - 280 Klbs/hr total capacity - providing steam and softened water to multiple chemical manufacturers. Achieved consistent steam reliability of 99.8% or above. Increased Biomass boiler reliability from as low as 75% to a consistent 98.5% or higher. Increased fuel supplier network by 600%. Developed and implemented raw material supplier network to allow the creation of finished fuel at lower cost. Developed and implemented many modifications to minimize single points of failure throughout the Biomass combustion process. Reached full staffing and arranged training for all positions. Worked closely with customers to resolve facility wide issues. Developed standard operating procedures for facility wide waste water disposal system, to avoid flooding during rain events and effluent violations during operational issues. Created and delivered power point presentations to schools, neighborhood groups and professional organizations regarding the many positive impacts of our Biomass operations.

Developed and implemented job costing structure for land clearing projects. Refined bidding process. Added and utilized the capability of digital blueprint take-off. Developed and managed large utility companies as land clearing customers. Developed and managed utility customer relationships and resolved any problems. Successful in receiving multiple land clearing contracts up to $620,000 to facilitate over 60 miles of new electrical transmission lines. Developed transportation plan to allow tree clearing, debris removal and installation of 280 foot electrical tower, on an island in the Ohio river. Customer saved over $200,000 from estimated costs on the island portion alone. Worked extensively with environmental engineers in sensitive wetlands, wildlife nesting areas and contaminated areas to ensure compliance. Negotiated an annual biomass supply contract in excess of $500,000. Greatly improved machine maintenance and reliability.
