PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE & SUCCESSES

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
-Led a team to purchase a new truck shovel fleet and transfer a decommissioned fleet from TransAlta's Centralia operation. Project included integration plan to develop skills in engineering, maintenance and operations to meet mine development needs and production targets. The two shovel and truck fleets are achieving benchmark productivities.
-Developed and implemented productivity improvement programs at TransAlta's Highvale and Whitewood mines to improve coal quality, recovery and mine productivity. Resulted in a major investment for additional overburden removal equipment being deferred for several years.
-Completed an asset review and modified major rebuilds on exiting assets to reduce the life-cycle cost. Major rebuilds have been deferred 5 years (or eliminated) on draglines.
-Actively participated in a team to tender the Highvale and Whitewood mine contracts. Resulted in a contractor change with the amalgamation of two contractor sites.
-Developed and initiated a Fuel Management system to optimize plant generation based on coal quality and chemistry; units previously not able to meet full load, sustained full load, fuel related production losses were reduced from more than 200 GWHRS to fewer than 50 GWHRS.
-Project Manager for rebuild and boom angle change on the Highvale Mine 8750 Dragline. Modifications and completed project resulted in a 25% productivity improvement.
-Project Manager for rebuild of Highvale Mine 8050 dragline, base replacement with non-OEM base. Resulted in a significant saving to the overall project cost.
