Design for manufacturability
My engineering focus for manufacturability started at Montana State University where my course work focused heavily on the manufacturing processes and design for such processes. Over my career, I have had the privilege to engineer assemblies that utilized many manufacturing processes including, but not limited to, CNC Routing/Machining, Metal Spin forming, vacuform, injection molding, sheet metal cutting, bending and stamping, and various casting processes.
Field instillation, fabrication and maintenance is a huge part of a total engineered product and is at the four front of my designs. Also, ergonomics has played a big role in engineering products for ease of installation and maintenance. When working on assemblies that required periodic maintenance in an aquatic environments, ergonomics was only second to product performance.
Project & Engineering Management
Over my career, I have managed several projects. The level of management responsibilities ranged from full team and product line management for a 20+ million dollar scope of work to developing a single product for production runs of 1500 parts per week.
Managing time, teams, and resources has been a recurrent part of my career. Appropriately, allocating resources to specific design constrains has been a strong tool in my tool box. In recent history, I was the PM for a 10+ million dollar pipeline injection facility located in WV. I developed schedules, estimates, engineering budgets and resource loading plans, while managing Mechanical and Civil Designers and Engineers on the project. I was the direct contact for the client and worked with them to develop the scope of work and budget that met the clients needs. I hope to continue to hone my skills towards a career in project and engineering management.
Oil and Gas
I have extensive experience working with ASME B31.3, B31.4, & B31.8 and many associated Codes and Standards for process piping and pipeline piping. I started my experience in oil and gas by developing piping specifications and narrative specifications for midstream process and power plant projects mostly in North America and Canada and have since moved into engineering pipeline pumping stations and tank farm terminals from North Dakota to Wisconsin. Continuously using and building off my piping specification knowledge, I continue to learn and expand my abilities to design and engineer in the oil and gas industry.
