Derek Korinek
@derekkorinek
I lead electrical and instrumentation design for offshore, refinery, power, and industrial construction projects.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've delivered electrical and instrumentation design for Shell, BP, Chevron, Pemex, TSMC, and Alliant Energy projects, including offshore platforms, refineries, power generation facilities, and water treatment plants.
At Wood and KBR, I led teams of up to eight electrical designers, managed work-hour budgets and schedules, and produced construction-ready one-lines, load lists, schematics, panel schedules, cable tray routing, wiring diagrams, and installation details. I also provided field support through fabrication, installation, commissioning, sail-away, and project closeout.
I design to NEC, IEEE, ABS, USCG, and BSEE standards and use PDMS, SmartPlant 3D, AutoCAD, MicroStation, and related tools to reduce construction interferences, delays, and rework.
