➢ Lead and coordinate engineering design projects. Manage project schedules and milestones for timely delivery of project solutions based on contractual scope of supply and functionality.➢ Oversaw and engineered over 40 projects with an average of 6-8 sections per project. Major clients included electric utility companies, Fortune 500 companies in the petrochemical, automobile manufacturing, natural gas, food, snack and beverage manufacturing sectors.➢ Manage complete order process from PO receipt, order preparation, and equipment approval process, through manufacturing release, product shipment and post-shipment support utilizing a base knowledge of medium voltage Siemens switchgear (GIS/GMSG/SIMOVAC/SIEBREAK).➢ Work independently or lead a project team with the appointed Salesperson to ensure a complete understanding of the order and equipment engineering requirements at order handoff.➢ Host project meetings – internally and externally, communicate regularly with the distributor, customer, and end user to manage expectations.➢ Review and understand manufacturing updates, quote and process change orders as needed.➢ Prepare detailed engineering documentation (control and protection circuits, layout drawings, short circuit calculations, AC/DC load calculations, bill of material) for manufacturing and assembly utilizing NXTools+ configurator.➢ Work with field services to efficiently organize and support on-site activities during switchgear commissioning and operation
