Beginning May of 2010, I led a complete network inventory of the Oklahoma Gas and Electric overhead and underground distribution system.   My operations team included one Osmose Sales Support Specialist, one Field Trainer, 6 Supervisors, 2 Data Coordinators and 70 Data Technicians.  The project was part of the OG&E Smart Grid Initiative and included an inventory of all utility assets as well as customer meter connectivity.  Over 2 million points of interest were captured in Oklahoma and Arkansas with a budget of $11 million.  The inventory included data associated with the following:

·          GPS location (3-5 meter accuracy)

·          Phasing and Connectivity

·          Pole Brand Information

·          Transformers

·          Switches and Switch State

·          Capacitors

·          Reclosers

·          Regulators

·          Wire Size/Type

·          Primary/Secondary Open Points

·          Customer Meter /SAP/CIS Information

·          Any Damage and/or Hazardous Conditions

As Manager of Operations for this massive undertaking, my responsibilities included the following:

·          Recruited and interviewed 100+ inexperienced Data Technicians for the field workforce.

·          Developed and managed a training program for these technicians detailing the concepts of electrical phasing, connectivity and overhead recognition of an electrical distribution system.

·          Developed a Quality Control and Quality Assurance program to achieve the 98% accuracy requirements as detailed by the project contract.

·          Managed the customer, OG&E, working through issues as they arose over the 2+ year duration of the job.

·          Calculated production projections and reported weekly/monthly profitability statistics.

·          Responsible for expense control, crew safety, quality data collection and consistent production rates.

·          I was always involved with the use of ESRI programs in the manipulation of data layer information for updates to current data, creation maps from scratch, etc.
