Engineering Manager / Project Manager
===========================================================
Innovative, solutions-oriented engineering and project manager. Outstanding record of project success in fast-paced engineering, construction, and manufacturing environments. Highly regarded as a creative problem solver, able to assess operational needs and develop innovative strategies to increase productivity, enhance customer satisfaction, and improve cost-effectiveness. Bachelor of Chemical Engineering from Georgia Tech. Core competencies include:
» Engineering leadership: Recognized as a thought-leader in Air Quality Control Systems (AQCS) and Air Pollution Control (APC). At Dustex, led design and construction management of a $6.4M circulating fluid bed scrubber and baghouse for an alternative energy expansion project to comply with SO2 non-attainment; system efficiency is greater than 99%. At Andersen 2000, led a team of 11 project engineers, design engineers, and field service staff.
» Chemical and environmental engineering: At NCE-Crawford, designed and installed two state-of-the-art air pollution control systems and Continuous Emission Monitors (CEMS) for municipal waste incinerators in Fort Detrick, Maryland. Designed and built the only New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) medical waste incinerator and wet scrubber in the state of Georgia for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
» Project management: In the past four years at Dustex, led 11+ projects totaling $42M – with timeframes up to 24 months, and teams up to 25 people (including contractors). Achieved 32.9% average margin on these projects. The largest was a $19.4M turnkey project for NESHAP compliant dual baghouse systems for a cement plant; completed project on-time and $1M under budget. Trained 80+ people upon completion of this project.
