Project Manager for a $2+ million industrial site remediation facility located in DePue, Illinois. Responsibilities included communicating with the owner’s representative, cost controls, scheduling oversight, document review, and deliverables. Overall responsible for the technical and control philosophy used in implementing the design and construction of the facility, and testing operations.

Project Engineer for equipment procurement and construction of a mobile soil vapor extraction system. The entire system is mounted in a semi tractor-trailer for use at the Rocky Flats Plant. Equipment includes vacuum blowers, HEPA filtration systems, and activated carbon adsorption.

Project Engineer for equipment selection, specification, and procurement for a one hundred gpm treatment facility installed at the DOE Weldon Spring Site Remedial Action Project located near St. Louis, Missouri. Major unit operations include chemical precipitation, solid-liquid separation, sludge handling, activated alumina adsorption, granular activated carbon and ion exchange. Responsible for functional testing of equipment at the vendor site in the presence of client QA personnel and also testing of equipment following delivery and installation at the site. A comprehensive operations and maintenance manual was also prepared.

Design Manager for a forty gpm treatment facility at the Weldon Spring Site Remedial Action Project located near St. Louis, Missouri. Responsible for coordination of all design disciplines including process, architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation and controls. Facility uses vapor recompression evaporation and ion exchange to remove nitrate, uranium and metals from process waste stored in surface impoundments.

Project Manager for design and construction of the South Plume Interim Treatment (SPIT) System at the DOE Fernald Site near Cincinnati, Ohio. Coordinated all design activities and disciplines for two separate systems at 450 gpm and 200 gpm. Both systems used pressure filtration and ion exchange to treat ground water contaminated with uranium. Prepared all equipment procurement documentation, and coordinated all facility construction and commissioning activities.

Project Engineer for conceptual process design of the Radioactive Liquid Waste Treatment Facility (RLWTF) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Facility will treat all liquid radioactive liquid waste at LANL. Scope included PFDs, P&IDs, outline equipment specifications, and equipment arrangements. Facility unit operations included chemical precipitation and membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, and evaporation.

Project Manager for the evaluation of treatment processes for the reduction of nitrates from a NPDES discharge at Los Alamos National Laboratory’s (LANL) Radioactive Liquid Waste Treatment Facility (RLWTF). This evaluation led to the specification, evaluation, and procurement support for an interim evaporator.

Project Manager for design and construction of 100 gpm oily wastewater treatment facility for the Regional Transportation District (RTD). Facility included influent pumping system and an oil water separation system. Scope also included complete facility design and construction including foundations and buildings.

Manufacturers' representative responsible for the integrating of customer process engineering needs and technical sales. Customer needs ranged from actual design of total project needs and subsequent project coordination to more basic quantification and sizing of process equipment needs. This equipment involved: heat transfer, blending, solid suspension, filtration, RO, DI, glass lined reactors, loss-in-weight feeders and belt scales, and tankage.

Production engineer charged in overseeing 200 wells in four states. Reported production to the appropriate state agencies and prepared reserve reports for all the company’s operated and non-operated wells. In charge of recommending and instituting workovers and drilling AFEs for new wells. Relieved company field superintendents and pumpers for days off and extended vacations.
