Jonathan Araujo

Technical lead for refinery projects and brownfield modifications, coordinating consultants, internal stakeholders, and execution teams on high-consequence industrial systems. Owns technical decision-making for complex process, piping, and asset-reliability problems using structured analysis and risk management.

Led a $6M/year CAPEX/OPEX portfolio across engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning for refinery sustaining projects. Managed a 6-person team, prioritizing execution risk and stakeholder communications across multiple concurrent initiatives.

Delivered mechanical design, equipment specifications, and procurement support for refinery sustaining-capital work. Partnered across industrial equipment and process systems with a focus on reliability, maintainability, and efficiency impacts to operations.

Led uranium-processing CAPEX studies, including piping hydraulics and HVAC system design. Applied AFT Fathom/Arrow to strengthen subject-matter depth for mining infrastructure, including electrical rooms/MCCs and piping systems supporting ore extraction.

Led engineering execution and product-development activities while reducing drafting costs by 80% through process redesign and team coordination. Coordinated delivery across concurrent engineering workstreams to improve efficiency and output.

Served as a Professional Engineer responsible for product modifications, new development, and CRN approvals for pressure components. Ensured engineering compliance and readiness for regulatory approval workflows.

Provided mechanical design, calculations, and FEA support across mining and power projects, including small-capital project leadership. Supported engineering deliverables that improved technical outcomes and project execution quality.

Designed a full-scale impact test rig and validated concepts using 3D CAD and FEA. Partnered with stakeholders to drive R&D outcomes in a structured engineering environment.

Developed machines and tooling in a manufacturing environment using CAD software. Built stress analysis simulations and implemented equipment-design cost reduction measures to improve design outcomes.
