Work
Experience
January 2008-
PresentProject Manager, Bristol Myers Squibb, Wallingford, CT. Manage multiple projects ranging from small ($20,000) to large ($4 million +) complex projects. Developed and initiated several innovative energy savings projects for the site to comply with the companys energy saving initiative. Currently performing two job positions as project manager and maintenance engineer during the companys transformation process.
Key achievements:
Completed several energy savings projects ahead of the projected completion date to achieve an energy savings of $180,000 per year. These projects included air compressor optimization, deionized water pump horsepower reduction, boiler feed water pump control, lighting occupancy control, lighting foot candle reduction and air handler capacity reduction.
Managing the design and renovation of approximately 5000 square feet of laboratory space, as well as the management of the utility plant deaerator and condensate receiver tank replacement.
Collaborate with research staff to develop new projects to meet their needs to continue developing research in a state of the art facility. Some projects include robotic clean rooms, UPS power expansions, and potent compound enclosures.
Interact with the site electrical supplier and the Connecticut Municipal Electrical Energy Cooperative to apply for and receive almost $200,000 in rebates for implementing energy saving projects.

January 2003-
January 2008Senior Maintenance Engineer / Project Manager, Bristol Myers Squibb, Wallingford, CT. Managed the preventative maintenance program for the 1 million square foot research facility including the site central utility plant. Developed and supervised multiple capital projects per year while staying within project budgets. Collaborated with in house maintenance contractors to continually develop the preventative maintenance program to insure accuracy. Supervised numerous site wide maintenance contracts including the site water chemical treatment program, high voltage switch gear maintenance, and site PLC maintenance.

Key achievements:
Redeveloped the preventative maintenance program using Maximo CMMS software to enhance the care and reliability of the site critical equipment while reducing the amount of man hours required to run the program.
Implemented and stream lined several predictive maintenance programs such as infrared testing, vibration analysis, ultrasonic testing, laser alignment, electrical monitoring, and steam trap testing.
Designed and managed the complete overhaul of the cogeneration system gas compressor skid. The overhaul included a new control system and major piping modifications, while reducing the energy needed to operate the compressor. The project eliminated system trips, increased uptime and allowed for better system control.
Trained the site maintenance staff to perform maintenance functions properly such as bearing replacements, machinery lubrication, and rotating equipment alignment.
Developed and managed the installation of a site wide PLC network. This gave the ability to look at the operation of any piece of equipment controlled by a PLC and allowed for the collection of important operational data for analysis. The project also allowed for viewing the utility plant operation remotely from any internet connection in the world.

June 1998-
January 2003Reliability Engineer/Maintenance Planner, MeadWestvaco, Rumford, ME. Developed a new preventative maintenance program for the pulp mill and the utility plant using SAP software. Planned and supervised daily maintenance work for the 15 man utility plant maintenance crew. Managed multiple contractors for maintenance projects and month long equipment outages. These projects included redesigning pumping/piping systems, upgrading conveyor systems and steam turbine overhauls.
Key Achievements:
Redesigned and led the overhaul of two boiler ash conveyors and one lime kiln bucket elevator. This improved reliability and reduced downtime of the systems while saving $1 million in lost production.
Collaborated with the environmental department to develop a maintenance and change control program for boiler equipment to comply with state gas emission regulations.
Managed and planned several multimillion dollar utility plant shutdowns for yearly maintenance, equipment overhauls, and equipment upgrades.
