The platform has oil and gas processing equipment but does not have a drilling rig or surface wellheads.

·                     Project Senior Principal Planner on multiple projects within the project controls subsea organization including BHP Shenzi, Marathon Droshsky, BP Angola, PDVSA, and FEED studies for Kizomba Satellites man-hours.

·                     Master planner for Chevron Tahiti Phase I and Phase II, with a total contract value of $207M, with responsibilities including compiling, analyzing, and administering project planners in multiple global manufacturing plants.

·                     Implemented baseline schedule and planning operations for complex large-scale projects. Initiated project set up and development of the schedule development and control plan. Developed schedule structure, and reporting structure according company policy and contract requirement.

·                     Performed analyses of schedule integrity, scheduling structure, practices, procedures, reporting, and other key performance areas within the planning team for projects with known performance issues. Interrogated and identified weaknesses within the overall plan. Advised a plan for recourse and recovery. Initiated the execution of such plans.

·                     Took on leadership role for problem solving within the Global Project Services structure. Became the Cameron ‘Global Firefighter’ as a job function and subject matter expert for issues regarding project management, planning, and other project services functions. Developed several standards and key business practices as a result of resolutions to real project issues.

·                     Member of the Cameron ‘ALPHA’ scheduling team which consisted of the best of the best within project services and project management. The purpose of this team was to develop EPC standards for Business Units comprised of business standards, procedures, and work practices. As a result of working with this team, we were able to develop a full glossary of BU’s, procedures, and work practices.

·                     Due to the lack of a procedure for progress measurement / earned value, developed a procedure which included a standard for compiling a relative weight structure within the Scope of Supply, a phased weighting scheme, and ultimately a process for applying weight to all relevant activities within all schedules. This system also included a method for applying physical progress and rules of credit. Likewise, there is also a method for downloading data from Primavera within pre-formed templates to show this data by deliverable, package, phase, or overall project. This procedure has been standardized and adapted as a work practice by Cameron with little exception.
