CONSTRUCTION ENGINEER - INSTRUMENTATION
D.O.B. - 26 July 1945 – Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Nationality – U.S. Citizen,
Qualification – AS Physical Science; Senior Status BSET; Numerous industry courses (see bottom)

CAREER SUMMARY:
Control Systems Design Specialist & Engineer with over 25 years of energy engineering experience, four years of civil engineering and five years of aerospace work. Over the last ten years, moved from home office work to field engineering work, and reclassified by Fluor from Design Specialist to Construction Engineer.

Between recent major field assignments, own and operate a construction materials and light engineering company in West Java, Indonesia. (Recently closed down).

Construction Coordinator and Block Valve Engineer for the 45 block valve sites on an 1,100 kilometer crude pipeline in West Africa. Besides coordinating multiple construction contractors, and approving all aspects of construction at the widely spread remote valve sites, also verified and pre-commissioned the functionality of the control systems with the valve vendor reps.

On the previous assignment, managed I/E based (Instrument/Electrical) engineering/design packages, from conception through operations turnover in a maintenance and operations contract for a Minnesota refinery.

Most of my projects in Minnesota involved developing complex Process Control and Logics, and meanwhile, managing the other design disciplines involved on the project, such as process, piping, civil and mechanical. Developed the scope and budget documents, and during this design phase, assured the delivery and conformance of vendor materials and equipment, and verified the DCS/PLC reprogramming. That old refinery used many PLC vendors' equipment and various interfaces with the DCS equipment, which made control loops much more complex than normal.

After the engineering design packages were completed, then issued for construction, as the Commissioning Engineer, was heavily involved in coordinating the various construction contractors and refinery operations, and scheduling the required shutdowns with the numerous refinery and customer entities. Following that, the operator training for the new process control procedures had to be completed. Every one of my projects was successfully completed within budget and schedule.

Before that assignment, I was involved in authoring and technical negotiations for a large I&E construction contract, including progress reporting, turnover procedures, and documentation content. Between the contract support activities, controlled project P & ID's (Piping & Instrument Flow Diagrams), instrumentation databases, and specified off line instruments.

Have been the Lead Designer on multiple hydrocarbon revamp projects. Early on, was the Lead Field Engineer on a pilot coal liquefaction project in West Virginia and more recently; at a large geothermal project in Indonesia. Have learned to speak simple Indonesian, and prefer to spend my off-time in that country.

When the energy sector was down in the mid 80's I was a Project Manager on several small civil projects involving land development, drainage and highway design. New to that field, one highlight was the hydrology calculation spreadsheet program I developed. Those old supervisors are still asking me to recreate that program on MS Excel, even 15 years after I left that field.

Prior to the bottoming of energy work, was the Control Systems Design Supervisor on two nuclear energy projects for the United States Department of Energy using high vacuum technology. The GCEP project was the largest that Fluor E&C has ever had, and my promotion to lead the design group was a big surprise to me in a company with hundreds of designers to choose from for that position. It turned out to be a seven year assignment. (US DOE Q Clearance)

Prior to my energy industry work, there were five years of experience in quality control in a jet engine overhaul facility.

Owned a computer store for several years, and have a high degree of P.C. experience and literacy. Ten years of AutoCAD experience.

SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE DETAILS:
CV BOJA JAYA – Parangkuda, West Java, Indonesia (05/02 to 05/04)
Owner-Director
This was a construction materials and light engineering firm that I created with an Indonesian partner. The firm managed to stay above water whenever I was there, but the corruption required in securing and performing every project was way beyond what I had envisioned. Whenever I was not in Indonesia, things got out of hand and I was forced to shut down the business.

This short-term assignment involved being responsible for the pipeline contractor's construction of the 45 pump stations and valve sites along the 1,100 kilometer length of this project. Aside from the pipeline construction contractor, there were also fiber optic, instrumentation, telecommunication, coatings and other subcontractors involved at each site. My job was to coordinate their activities, and commission the valves and controls for turnover to the client. This involved everything from the civil work to the control systems.

The technology on this project was simple, but the logistics in this dangerous and primitive part of the world were very difficult. It was my first experience in the upstream portion of the petroleum/energy industry, and a very valuable, albeit short term, experience.

This project was a major expansion of an existing geothermal electric power facility atop an Indonesian mountain. Lead Control Systems Field Engineer for process and mechanical instrumentation. Continued to manage and maintain instrument databases. Often got my hands dirty when local contractors didn't know how to install or modify instrumentation. PLC & DCS installation was by others. Most of my subordinate Engineers & Designers, and all construction crews were Indonesian locals. I learned Bahasa Indonesia to more effectively manage the construction phase. Difficult assignment, the detailed engineering package produced in Jakarta was inadequate, and local construction contractors were inexperienced. Was able to stay barely ahead of design errors and construction contractors' inexperience, but managed to turn over project to client ahead of schedule, and under budget.

Design Specialist
Salak Geothermal Project (Major $) Unocal
(01/96 – 12/96) Jakarta, Indonesia, S. E. Asia
Control Systems adviser to IKPT (Indonesian Engineering partner) in Jakarta during the detailed design phase of the above the project, while managing and maintaining the project instrument databases. Also functioned as the IKPT liaison with California and English speaking contractors for all IKPT disciplines.

(03/95 – 10-95) Las Vegas, Nevada, North America
Design support for the procurement, fabrication, installation and documentation of the site characterization Data Acquisition System for the U.S. mined geologic nuclear waste disposal project. This project required US DOE security clearance, and numerous government project-training classes. The assignment was short-lived as funding was temporarily withdrawn in a political battle in the U.S. Congress.

Continuous Catalyst Regeneration & LSFO Chevron
(1993 - 1995) El Segundo, California, North America
This was an upgrade of a catalyst unit to provide continuous catalyst regeneration. I was the unit lead designer, and besides the normal scope of work, innovated several highly lauded construction interface tools to smooth out the required plant shutdowns. The client and contractors were very pleased with the unsolicited initiative and extra effort that facilitated minimal shutdown time, and very smooth contractor & operations interface. My demonstrated detailed understanding of construction processes and sequences alerted Fluor management to my value in construction roles.

Shell Tabangao Asset Renewal (Major $) Shell International
Petroleum MIJ.B.V.
(1992 - 1993) The Hague, Netherlands, Western Europe
Control Systems Design - Area Lead for 25 new process units in this STAR Petroleum Expansion project. Led a crew of about 20 designers in the detailed design packages, and also did all of the analyzer and nuclear instrumentation design myself. Fluor was in the habit of using me for all complex instrumentation design, based a lot on my superior depth of knowledge in physics, chemistry, material properties and construction techniques.

Arco Clean Diesel (Major $) Arco Petroleum Products Company
(1991 - 1992) Carson, California, North America
Control Systems design of a new processing unit and revamp of existing facilities to meet new California and E.P.A. requirements.

9.2 Expansion ($20M – tiny for Fluor) Intel
(1991) New Mexico, North America
Control Systems Design of an expansion project to increase production of computer processing chips. This was an interim position, and my scope was primarily to logically develop the physical layout of the process facility.

ASSOCIATED ENGINEERS (1989 - 1991)
Project Manager Rancho Cucamonga, California
Managed several small (max $500K) land development and highway improvement projects working with private sector clients and governmental agencies, including design check of state route 5-55 interchange bridges in Santa Ana, California. Other projects included apartment complex and subdivision layout and grading, golf course drainage design, and also configured and managed all of the small offices' computers and AutoCAD configurations. Also guest lectured on small engineering office computer configuration and application at Riverside City College.

ASL CONSULTING ENGINEERS (1987 - 1989)
Senior Designer Rancho Cucamonga, California
New to Civil Engineering, I quickly became to office go-to guy for complex problem solving. As the Civil Engineering designer of a 1400-Acre land development (housing) project, my focus was on drainage/flood control (hydrology) and street design. Also designed several small dams in the hills above the large subdivision, and did the complete flood control drainage system. Other skills quickly learned were earthwork and legal descriptions. This is where I co-developed a highly productive spreadsheet hydrology program, based on California hydrology standards. The program was very complex, but saved hundreds or thousands of design hours, providing instant "what if" results for the hundreds of complex calculations needed in each revision in a large drainage system. After leaving that company, they were unable to migrate the program to later versions of spreadsheet programs. The old bosses, still friends, beg once a year or so for me to recreate the program in Excel, but that would take at least two months of my free time.

FLUOR ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY (1979 - 1986)
Design Supervisor
Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant U.S. Department of Energy
(1986) Richland, Washington, North America
Design of nuclear waste handling - Control Systems. This project was temporarily dropped, but before it was, my scope was front-end conceptual design development.

Gas Centrifuge Enrichment Project U.S. Department of Energy
(1979 - 1986) Portsmouth, Ohio, North America
This project was the largest Fluor has ever had, and peaked at 500 engineers and designers in the California office. Involving the design of a nuclear fuel processing facility, I lead a group of 30 designers over the seven year duration of Fluor's involvement. This was a big move up from the previous assignment as a Principal Designer. Many older, and much more experienced Design Supervisors were bypassed for this assignment.

I got this assignment because of my dedication to detail, but also my knowledge of advanced Physics and Fluid Mechanics. I was able to effectively challenge, and revise the opinions of some of the nation's top deep vacuum technology PhD's on the implementation of Deep Vacuum processing.

Aside from my supervision duties, and as a pioneering computer store owner, I introduced the use of desktop computer use to Fluor, by bringing in one of my own to do my complex control level scheduling and progress reporting. Also put on several seminars on computer use, and pioneered the introduction of desktops with upper management.

Not satisfied with supervision and administrative functions, I took on the most complex design work, and especially all process analyzer installations. Was installed as Chairman of Fluor's Analyzer Committee.

Another role taken on was Chair of Fluor's Safety Committee

Previous work eliminated due to file size restrictions. See my wesite for more info.
