EXPERIENCE

2005 to 2015

ENTERGY, Vermont Yankee, Vernon, Vermont

·  Scheduled on-line for the mechanical, Plant services, and maintenance support departments. Scheduled Diesel LCOs, Service water and circulating water pump/ motor swaps. Scheduled condenser cleaning and tube plugging.  Scheduled fire protection line repairs. Scheduled pre-outage activities, and refuel floor acts including nuclear fuel receipt in prep for outages.

·  Assisted the outage scheduling department during refuel outages by collecting updates for the mechanical and the valve groups, inputting the status to Primavera, and leveling resources for same departments.

2004 to 2005

RCM Technologies, Vermont Yankee, Vernon, Vermont

              Performed on-line work week scheduling for the Mechanical and Plant Services disciplines, while assisting with scheduling of other disciplines. Maintained level resources utilizing Primavera.

1982 to 2004

NEXTERA, NORTHEAST UTILITIES, Seabrook Station, Seabrook, New Hampshire

·               Performed “plan of the day” (POD) maintenance scheduling, outage scheduling support, scheduling support, engineering scheduling, and critical path analysis on nine refueling outages (6 with P/2 and 3 with P3).

·               Performed daily update and maintenance of the POD through interaction with maintenance supervision, system engineers, schedulers, workweek managers, operations group, and all other necessary departments.

·               Managed the P/2 and Primavera, P3, scheduling systems, setting up the systems in preparation of the refueling outages. This included troubleshooting P3 and P/2 issues, assisting schedulers with P3 and P/2 questions and interfacing with vendor technical support when necessary.

·               Successfully transitioned Seabrook Station from Project/2 scheduling to the windows based Primavera (P3) scheduling system. Prepared P3 to support the operations and maintenance of Seabrook Station.

·               Produced, maintained, and posted resource usage reports, histograms comparing available vs. scheduled manpower, resource specific layouts (crew reports), and POD to the company intranet.

·               Coordinated effort with Information resources group (IRG) to develop interfaces between our work control systems and our scheduling systems. The interfaces are used to exchange information between the two systems.

·               Resolved unreliability issues with Primavera’s P3 scheduling software prior to performing first P3 scheduled refueling outage by discovering bug with the Primavera software.

·               Integrated the engineering schedule with the Stone & Webster’s’ and Westinghouse’s Power Uprate schedule by use of Interproject Scheduler.

COMPUTER EXPERTISE
