• Lead the engineering design of vessels varying from 20 to 150 feet. Understand aspects of aluminum vessel design and construction including structure, electrical & mechanical systems, aluminum fabrication, stability criteria & requirements, and Classification Society rules: American Bureau of Shipbuilders (ABS), American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), and other government entities.• Use comprehensive Engineering Ship Work Breakdown Structure (SWBS) to direct the development of high-level, resource-balanced schedules for each project. • Coordinate with Engineering Planner(s) and Engineering Manager to guarantee all project tasks are appropriately resourced, sequenced, and allocated. • Identify high-risk areas of project(s) at the start of design and ensure risk mitigation throughout the project.• Certify all drawings and associated Bill of Materials comply with customer’s specifications/scope of work and provide final top-level approvals on all drawings before being released to Production. • Assist department managers to drive available resources to complete engineering deliverables on-schedule to support Production, Supply Chain, and first-time quality at all phases

• Created in-depth plans for new projects while guiding cross-functional matrixed teams to provide input and capture project needs. Manage projects at all phases (Initiate-Plan-Manage/Execute-Deliver-Close) of its life cycle. • Set goals and manage project budgets to maximize overall profits. Monitor all expenses closely while utilizing Cost Performance data and the Earned Value Management System (EVMS) to adjust schedule, hours, resources, and priorities as necessary. • Tracked day-to-day progress of projects involving time, budget, quality, scope, and requirements while reporting all metrics and providing regular reports to the Program Manager and internal stakeholders. • Proactively identified and managed risks while creating established plans with project teams to minimize and mitigate such risks to deliver projects in the most efficient way that produces the most optimal deliverables.• Served as the single point-of-contact for external/internal deliverables and customer interfaces. Oversee all direct customer connections and maintain open lines of communication to set clear expectations throughout projects’ life cycle.

• Designed models and drawing packages of vessels while maintaining Classification Society rules.• Collaborated with each discipline to identify critical vessel systems so that all structure, foundations, & drawings are created and/or modified to accommodate each system efficiently and effectively. • Provided Production and Engineering support to identify and resolve issues during the shipbuilding process.• Established and maintained a 30-Day Outlook for materials and outsourced components involving:o Scheduling material deliveries based on project build sequences and projected labor hours, o Ensuring accurate quantities and delivery dates are met between company and vendors,o Maintaining a "5-Day Usability Window" with vendors between components being received and subsequent parts being ready for production.

Worked with a variety of projects for small businesses and engineering firms, including:Willem Mast Drafting and Design, LLC - Lafayette, LA• Assisted with drafting and designing SOLIDWORKS models and drawing packages of maritime vessels. High Performance CNC, Breaux Bridge, LA• Produced detailed SOLIDWORKS models and drawings of parts and assemblies for the Oil & Gas Industry. The Clement Companies - New Iberia, LA• Created SOLIDWORKS models and motion studies of equipment that reduced crevice corrosion and paint failure between oilfield pipe and supports that extends product life by 50%.Herman J. Schellstede and Associates - New Iberia, LA• Collaborated with firm’s president to help develop new products and enhance existing products for the Marine & Environmental industry.• Produced and modified blueprints, drawings, and schematics using SOLIDWORKS and AutoCAD software

-Utilized extensive knowledge and personal experiences of the Mechanical Engineering curriculum to help answer both general and specific questions concerning the curriculum. -Acted as Administrative Assistant by helping Administrative Secretary with departmental duties such as paperwork organization, files acquisition, mail sorting, answering calls, and delivering departmental messages.

• Analyzed blueprints, schematics, and standard operation procedures (SOPs) to complete dimensional inspections of machined tubular components and oilfield products in production-based facilities. • Utilized precision tools to accomplish dimensional inspections, including but not limited to optical compactors, hardness testing equipment (Birnell and Rockwell), Mic Trac gage calibration system, mics, calipers, and MRPs.• Conducted first article, in-process, and last article inspections to confirm quality and product verifications during the manufacturing process. • Verified raw materials, subcontracted parts, in-house manufactured parts, random in-process samples, and finished products met American Petroleum Institute (API) and International Standardization Organization (ISO) standards at every stage.• Applied nondestructive testing (NDT) methods to raw materials, in-house components, and subcontracted parts.• Prepared nonconformance reports and root cause analyses for corrective actions of rejected items and discussed solutions with Machinist leads and QA Manager for current and future improvements.
