Project engineering and management of another mechanical engineer + drafting designers.Improved my competency with COMPRESS design software to augment our team's ability to meet project deadlines.Continued to apply my detail oriented perspective to review Client specifications and check manufacturing drawings therein reducing design iterations and improving clarity of the project scope.Maintained efficient and effective communication with the Altex team, clients and sub-vendors while working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Project Management and Project Engineering ensuring compliance with ASME + Client needs including project documentation + technical reports + COMPRESS Pressure Vessel Calculations.Conversant with procurement/fabrication/inspection aspects of ASME-II-A/C/D, V, VIII, IX + ASME-B31.3 + NACE MR0103, 0175Empathically translated Client requirements (Specs + Standards + Code) into Purchasing + Shop + QC Scopes of Work which efficiently transferred knowledge and allowed stakeholders to increase their level of independent decision making.

Career progression from Thermal Design to Project Management and Project Engineering ensuring compliance with ASME + Client needs including project documentation + technical reports as well as mentoring of new Project Managers + Project Engineers.Conversant with procurement/fabrication/inspection aspects of ASME-I, II-A/B/C/D, V, VIII, IX + API-660, 661, 582, 938-C, 934-A/B/C/E + NACE MR0103, 0175 + TEMA.Empathically translated Client requirements (Specs + Standards + Code) into Purchasing + Shop + QC Scopes of Work which efficiently transferred knowledge and allowed stakeholders to increase their level of independent decision making.Advocated for overseas sub-vendors to achieve Client compliant steel structures in the Canadian and USA markets.Successfully championed Client's position in dispute with ABSA.Spearheaded CWB Accreditation (CSA W47.1) for EIL Structural Steel fabrication whose successful completion expanded to include four sub-vendor Shops (2 = India; 1 = China; 1 = Tulsa). Such extended EIL's marketing reach by satisfying the stringent criteria in USA earthquake-prone areas.Collaborative investigation skills to support stakeholders when impasses were reached: development of new purchasing criteria for plate to address geometric anomalies; engagement with experts to address welding defects and implementation of recommendations; resolution of MTR discrepancies.

Designed, facilitated CRN + CSA/UL accreditation and supervised introduction of new items into the product line including Canadian Electrical Code Class-I (C+D) and Class-II (E+F+G) HazLoc accessories.Investigated safety concern in Alaska and sought support of forensic experts. Implemented product safety recall and redesigned product to eliminate safety concern.Design optimization for sheet-metal + castings + extrusions + machining + welded-fabrication + electrical wiring + manual-assembly/testing.

Progression of responsibility from Inside Sales, Production Management, Technical Design to Technical Management.Production Management during $2-M/yr phase of company transitioning to Engineering Management as company grew from $2-M/yr to $9-M/yr.Development of mathematical models + software for equipment selection (which promoted system optimization) and performance testing (which assessed present utility).Created and delivered training sessions to overseas Clients (Venezuela required simultaneous interpreters) which broadened Griffin's marketing reach.Project Management of 11,000-ft2 building retrofit to consolidate facilities under one roof then a 5,000-ft2 addition two years later.AGMA Spiral-Bevel Gearbox design including case-hardening of shafting + taper-bearing selection.Design optimization for Ductile-Iron castings + welded-fabrications + machining + manual-assembly/testing.Downhole-tool design to fit through Production-Casing/Tubing + connection to API-Sucker-Rods and Tubing EUE-connections.Hydraulic (Open-Loop) power transmission system design.V-Belt + Cogged-Belt power transmission system design.Self-taught CNC G-Code programming and machining basics (Speed, Feed, DOC) which resulted in successful implementation of Machine Shop division under my management.Transitioned company from manual engineering drawings to AutoCad-R13 + R14.

Drilling Rig Roughnecking in Alberta (Harmattan East + Nordegg + West Pembina) + BC (Cecil Lake) between High School and University as well as some summers during University.Manual labor to support Rig-Up + Spudding + Directional/Whipstock Drilling + Logging/Testing + Running Drillstem and Casing + Cementing + Rig-Out.Exposure to Bentonite Water Based drilling fluids as well as Oil-Based (Invert) drilling fluids.
