I have completed my work and I am actively seeking employment.

Jacobs Engineering at DOW SCO in Taft and now at the LAO plant, in Plaquemines LA.

September 2011 through May 2013 I was one of three lead schedulers for the T/A Service Group

I Scheduled the Chlorine Unit Spring outage that was to start July 7, 2013 and go through the end of August.  I was downloading plans using a planning tool for this and have over half the Jobs down loaded into the Schedule.  The LHC3 Benzene System in which the scope included the Confined Space Entry for the C-500 Column for inspection I completed the   Poly East Plant which contained two Trains four reactors and four pelting machines.  I was brought into the job for a turnaround but had to go straight into a Shutdown for the Reactor logged up and had a giant piece of Plastic that had to be cut out by pneumatic chainsaws, which being down a list develop that had to planned and schedule Thus I was to schedule the outage and coordinate activities.  After this Shut Down anther occurred in the other Train # 2 in which work had to be done this also included planning and scheduling.  The original T/A was moved from February to May it was 18 days from Prime off to Prime on. The T/A came in under budget and Zero first aids the Primary contractors were Turner, Jacobs who has the maintenance and Sulzer who did the Rotation Equipment the Critical Path was the Reactor 3 and the Rotor change out that was carried out by Dow and TNT cranes Zero first aids. My duties were to input data and issue shift schedules to productions and to contractors and to the Dow coordinators and to the Contractor Coordinator.

     I also was in charge of the loading barn in which pellets of poly were loading into train cars.

 

May of 2010 through August 2011 I accepted a position in Iowa at Fort Dodge working under contract through Universal Personnel to Koch at an Ammonia Nitrate Fertilizer Facility in Fort Dodge, Iowa. In this position I was the lead scheduler the SIS SB # 84 which stands for Safety Interruption System.  Being that the Plant was built in 1968 most insulation was asbestos and the paint was to be considered to have a lead base primer. In this Project which had Front End Loading and specified gates to past through for funding for design cost, engineering and a significant update on its antiquated analogical control system was to be upgraded to a DC control system that was engineered by Yokagawa in which over 8000 IO points where to be changed out Excel had won the bid for the electrical and instrumentation while JVI was to do the mechanical that was engineered by to S&B out of Houston which included rerouting over 160 control loops and 3800 fabrication welds and 400 field welds along with installation of two DCS stations and the upgrading of Steel Rack and supports.  This was the first of a three facility work over for the Koch Company Fertilizer Division. With all the field fabrication and installation all welds pass NDT. Zero first Aids on the Project.

 

             Think Resources (Contract Parson Inc), October, 2008 through March 2010

 

·         Infrastructure Scheduler for the Cold Roll Mill that is part of the 4 billion dollar project. 

·         The Project is in the Civil and Structural Portion and the Duct Banks for the electrical needs of the Mill and the commissioning of the over head cranes and the steps it takes to become a production of Coiled Rolled Steel which is set to be Hot Commissioned in 2010. This also contained the medium and low voltage feed and the main electrical room.

·         The Civil was  complete in the Cold Roll Mill, which has a tandem mill a pickling line and a continuous pickling line and an Acid Regeneration Unit along with a boiler. 

·         With the major steel for one building being more that 12,000 tons and 100 thousand cubic yards of Concrete.

·         All building are trimming the decking and roofing, Major Equipment MEP and AOE buildings are being done. Made sure that lighting and utility power was installed and assisted Parsons in the underground duct banks.  And Feed Conductors for

Over Head Cranes being installed by Crane and Hoist.

·         My responsibility was to go through P7 update with current view and review and analysis each contractor in which I download using Primavera 7 from and xer. File 

·         Quantities are updated by the superintendents and I review with the contractors for correctness. 

·         Part of the CRM Team and attend a Team Meeting with the Client and attend various construction meetings, in which Daily Progress is discussed along with a look ahead. 

·         I also looked at the daily construction reports from each area due to the fact that I have CRM, Storage area 2 and Storage Area 1. 

·         The Structural portion of the Project was completed

·         Handled RFI and do analysis for Delay notification and the contractor’s scope.

·         Review the AIA forms for payment claims per the contract since each is Lump sum and use general conditions or Unit rates for the extras. 

·         I was working with Crane & Hoist with the overhead crane company and produced a schedule from the erectors of the rails for the over head cranes.

·         Conducted a three week look ahead started here due to the fact that the schedulers before did not require it.  It gave a more detailed look at daily operations.

·         This Project is a work in Progress just as the Schedule has to be a living document due   to the nature of the work and delays of weather and mismatched fabrication and density of worker in areas.

·         The entire schedule had to fit into the WBS of the IMS Integrated Master Schedule.  In this way an early late report is produced at the summary level for the upper management.

 

 

·         Universal Personnel Contracted to Shell Exploration Deep Water

 

·         One Shell Square in New Orleans LA. May 2007 through October 2008

Which I worked for Shell (SIEP) Shell International Exploration and Production for the EP Deep Water Brown Field project services group.

·         Worked with Lender Jacobs engineering on the Fastball Project on Ram Powell.

 

PMCC of Houston Texas September 2005 thru May 2007

I was an Independent Contractor as the Client Representative through

Shell Global Solutions.  The project grew due to the GEP Closure Project that Jacobs had started 3 years ago.  With 11mm spent on the reroutes and the demo of the unit being cancelled due to the fact that the 300# Section of EO-1 or the new High Purity Ethylene Oxide Unit would now feed the EOG-03 unit due to its design of only as a glycol unit not a unit to produce HEO.  The Project Premise was developed for a new design to have long routing of pipe with eight new pieces of equipment and for the exchanges and condensers to be reused.

The new routed pipe was routed along with the Electric and Instrumentation through the utility rack which will encompass 22 thousand linear feet of pipe with and equally amount of instrumentation and electrical work at a $25mm dollar range approved after running a P50 Monte Carlo analysis and using the IPA criteria.   FB&D did the detailed design stage having just completed FED, FEL, & IPA.  The project was given a 4.25 range for bench marking which is great for industry standards.  The project consisted of surgical demo of existing unit in which there will be a revamp of an EO column. The engineering group of S &B has & their subsidiary Ford Bacon & Davis have an EPCM contract.  The Project  went to go to the field in September on the OSBL then follow up with and outage of EO-3 in which 20 tie points were done.  In January of 2007 the old existing EO-1 was shut down and decontaminated for EO-1 Closure project which is now part of the High Purity Ethylene Oxide Project will be demolished as it has served its purpose for the last forty years.  This increase the cost of the project due to the rerouting of lines & E & I work.

 

Project/Cord/Planner/Scheduler: December 2004 to August 2005: Shaw Group I was the Project Lead of the Tiger Demolition for UOP.  We removed the last remains of Kaiser Aluminum Company.  I directed the daily operations of schedules and cost for UOP.  Had Cleveland Wrecking Company on lump sum bid with a 10% retainer to share cost and profit of the scrap metal which is a commodity with the price changing monthly.  The salvageable equipment was sold at bid plus mobilization of the equipment from industrial dryers, coolers, pumps, instrumentation, drums, elevators, and machining equipment.   PDG was the asbestos company that did the asbestos removal.  PDG was completed by March 31^st.  Cleveland Demolition and the rest of the Project finished @ 3400 gross tons of salvage and completed on time in May.

 

Planner, Scheduler: July 2004 November 2004, Shaw Group completed the Inoes Fluor Overhaul, which is a specialty Chemical Plant that manufactures KLEA 134a refrigerant.  I did the walk outs for all work inputted planning information into SAP and created reports for tracking the cost.  Shaw had the bulk of the work on T&M but we also had eight sub contractors from NDT API inspections to hydro blasting tubes.  In which we replaced three bundles, which encompassed lifting plans for weights and safety and radius of swing.  Critical Path was C510 Column work with G. E. doing the overlay Shaw Vacuum out existing 304 Packing done in Acid Suites due to the HF that had remained on the packing, which had to be decom with bull tanks in the storage area for drums.  The overhaul as the English calls them came in under budget and 3 days ahead of the P3 Schedule.   I also had an update meeting and a scheduling meeting for permits each day.  We had 160 crafts and subs on days and 40 crafts and subs on nights.  The critical path worked 7 - 24 the rest of the overhaul was covered on 2 shifts of 6-10's.  In overhaul safety no OSHA recordable.

 

 

Planner, Estimator, Cost Control & Scheduler: January 2004 through July 2004: Shaw Group in Pensacola at Air Products Chemical Plant in Pace Florida.  I went there and did the first T/A in two years that was successful and gave the unit back a day early. It was under cost for the Project scope but over on the Maintenance side due to lack of proper planning and scheduling and control of add-ons.  I did the estimating for civil, mechanical, and I&E for projects.  I did the field walk out for scoped work or using drawing or P&ID's.  Creating bid strategy and level 5 estimates for outages and getting bids from sub contractors and developing the WBS for the project to be completed during the Turn a Round coming up at Nitric Acid estimated, planned, and creating the schedule

 

Planner, Estimator, Scheduler: August 2003 through December 2003 Zachry Construction Field planned work Olefins unit, both cold side and hot side.  My responsibilities included estimating craft hours, cost material takeoffs, scheduling and estimating.  Field walk downs MO‘s magnitude of order & Scheduling Mechanical, Civil, Scaffolding, Equipment.  PIPING E&I MOC & PSSR.  Created drawings for drain pipe for shut down of unit.  Estimated Two Capital Projects Plus estimated Furnace work and cogen modification for two projects to be done before major outage and engineered by Jacobs Engineering Central office. Estimated a Project for a new Silencer to be removed and revamped per the Client. 

 

Scheduler, Planner: March 18, 2002 to June 2003 EXXON/MOBIL

I estimated and scoped out work for the #1Crude and #1Coker Units in Chalmette Louisiana.  The Class V Estimate for the Coker was 4MM and the Class V estimated for the #1 Crude was 8MM. Tray Design Manufacturing and Delivery were done on a fix fee.  The Vessel work & Exchangers were done on lump sum.  Furnace work including pigging the furnaces one box and two cans were bided out along with highly skilled pipe contractor mostly hot work was fix fee.  And the FMU’s field make up will be done with less skilled personnel due to restriction put on piping were done lump sum including project work. Companies supply of Best Practices Labor. I produced the shift schedules for the execution team of the outages for the Coker # 1 Crude # 1 & Prefract unit at the time of the work. We were able to make the TAR window without any OSHA recordable.  I leveled scheduled the resource manpower. Within the perimeter of the budget $12MM I also updated at the end of each shift with a managers meeting being held @ 10:00 which production reports from report writer using class and contractor in P3, I also use graphic the backup graph or target and current views.  This was done during the Cat Cracker T/A & HF Alky T/A. in September through November.

 

Scheduler, Planner, Cost Control: May 15^th 2001 through March 2^nd 2002 Zachry

I completed one Cement plant Capital for Zachry Construction Corporation of San Antonio Texas.   Revamped the Drying Kiln from Natural Gas to Coke, Coal or Used Tires in this way it would save money on the fuel that it took to operate the kiln for the client.  This required excavation of a tunnel for a conveyor system for a rail car unloading platform.  The installation of ball mills and erection of a new larger plant, this included large electromagnetic and strippers to remove the steel from the chopped used tires.  From October to March I worked on three coals fired boilers.  Changing out 600 tubes in the super and radiant heat section of the boiler and installation of new High mega watt transformers for (SRP) Salt River Project in northern Arizona

Also had to install  car unloading equipment and installing new conveyors for the coal yard in the Apache Reservation these outages came in under estimated cost by 300k.  In January I was transferred to Tampa Florida at the Big Bend and the Gannon Station V operated by TECO Tampa Electric Company.  During this period I did estimating from Project work from the intake screens to the DCS and adding on to the Control Room that could accommodate the new Control Board for Operations.  I also estimated and completed the new Firewater system for the Gannon Station. A new conveyor for the moving of coal from coal yard to the ball mill was installed.

 

Turnaround & Project Coordinator & Scheduler: Jacobs Engineering, September 20^th, 2000 through February 2, 2001 at Marathon Refinery in Garyville La.  I worked in the GHT Unit number 14, which  a revamp of the unit making it capable of increasing Unit production 20 % and to send feed to the new Coker unit that is presently being constructed by other contractors.  The unit work is completed with the instrumentation and electrical which included additional Motor control center and a new control house for the plant.   Following in suite the unit was able to start up January 27^th, 2001 as planned.

 

March 17, 1998 to September 20, 2000 H. B. Zachry at the Union Carbide Plant in Taft, Louisiana

As the turnaround coordinator I was over all turnarounds.  These consist of 5K man-hours known as mini washes through 200K man-hours or more. These turnarounds include cat changes of reactors repair per assessment recommendation plus all regulatory requirements for condensers, towers, furnaces, piping, instrumentation and electrical outages.  I have completed the last year with great success for (PF) performance factor and Production start up to meet the schedule of the business group of that unit.  These T/A‘s were at Acrylics, Butonal, Olefins, PXC, SPU, Boilers, Oxide Cogen and Amines units.  At this facility there is over 200 duration days of turnarounds within a twelve-month period.                      

 

May 1995 - March 1998 Jacobs Engineering

Cost Controls at Allied Geismar Hydrofluoric and Multi Products Plant.

Responsible for forecasting maintenance costs. I accomplished this by using historic data and daily activities of maintenance. On team to develop Change order form to automated system that is off-line with Allied MMS system.  Help establish forecast for year to date and for total year of 1996 showing actual cost and forecast cost.  This forecast is being used to set budget target for 1997 budget.  Total Maintenance for the facility was budget of 20 million dollars for the fiscal year of 1997. I also had to cover cost on the conveyor that brought spar into the plant.
