Project Manager
January 2007 to January 2014• Project manager to oversee the design, budget and construction of a state of the art shaped charge manufacturing facility (SCMF). In addition to the various buildings, I also had overall responsibility for the design and manufacture of robotic production equipment.• As part of the above project, I was also the project manager to design and build an automated pilot plant to manufacture Schlumberger proprietary high temperature explosive.• These projects involved working with an explosive engineering consultancy, A&E firm, robotic production line integrator, pilot plant designer/fabricator and various other professional consultants, to prepare preliminary and final design drawings to construct the plant and equipment.• Prepared RFPs and performed bid analysis to select the final GC and various specialty consultants to work on the project.• The new SCMF is designed to operate with robots in high risk (explosive powder pressing) and traditionally high labor (liner pressing) areas, to significantly reduce employee exposure to risk and facilitate a dramatic improvement in productivity.• At full capacity output per employee is projected to be in excess of 250% of current output. The facility was completed and started operating in Q2 2013.• The Schlumberger SCMF is now internationally recognized as the world’s most technologically advanced and safest manufacturing facility of its kind.• Project manager to oversee the design and construction of industrial water well and waste water treatment plant.• Worked on environmental remediation options for a soon to be abandoned explosive manufacturing plant.• Led a global team to design a state of the art, automated, perforating gun manufacturing plant in Mexico.
