- Issued recommendations for Quality Improvements and Customer Satisfaction through active participation in design reviews based on customer feedback.
1986-1997
Over this period, I worked with numerous industrial constructions firms with an increasing level of responsibility and authority. I accomplished various task related to supervision and project management.
I actively coordinated several maintenance shutdown repairs and supervised inspections carried out on process towers, furnaces, bundles, drums, tubes, reactors, heat exchangers and boilers.
I also dynamically participated on several small projects such as heavy piping/structural steel reparations or mechanical instrument installation. I performed many modifications and adjustments to insure drawings and specifications compliance for special requirements.
