• Monitored expenditures and schedules for multiple projects simultaneously to ensure that they remained on schedule. Negotiated with vendors to cut lead times on priority items and determined the impact of unavoidable and unpredictable delays such as equipment failures.• Conducted the initial project scope for the installation of a liquid nitrogen condenser chiller to recover lost liquid phosphine. Used heat transfer principles to properly size the equipment, collaborated with different teams to understand ASME codes, and ensured that all safety and operational requirements were met.• Co-led the initial meetings with the Engineering, Operations, Production, and Maintenance teams for a project involving the re-design of a bulk phosphorus storage tank. Followed the Front-end loading (FEL) process from FEL-1 to FEL-3 to refine the design without reducing scope or going over-budget.• Coordinated the installation and landing of an 800-gallon nitrogen tank via two cranes. Constant communication with Production, Operations, Maintenance, and Health & Safety was done to ensure that there was no loss to production.

• Identified safety gaps and developed recommendations for improvements by participating in Process Hazard Analysis (PHAs), Pre Start-up Safety Reviews (PSSRs), and Root Cause Analysis meetings.• Generated a cost-benefit analysis by collecting data from the vent discharge at phosphine storage tanks to determine the quantity of phosphine that was being lost, and ultimately determining if the proposed process was fiscally viable.• Used AutoCAD to create P&ID and loop diagrams and update after any equipment or process changes in the plant.• Tracked CapEx and issued POs to contractors and suppliers for projects up to $700K, using SAP SRM and ERP.
