What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a safety-first program/project role where I can integrate engineering teams, manage scope/schedule/budget, and deliver spec-compliant automation and infrastructure outcomes—using EVM and tools like MS Projects while driving continuous improvement.

I bring 15+ years of engineering and project management experience across Aerospace, Chemical, Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, and Power—grounded in safety, quality, and delivery. I’m a PMP-certified leader (issued Feb 4, 2014) who integrates technical teams to release spec-compliant documentation, meet scope and schedule, and close projects with clear lessons learned.

In my current and recent roles, I’ve owned complex coordination and program execution—leading cross-team efforts for documentation and customer deliverables during engine upgrades for Labs at Boeing. I also supported process improvement work on 737 P-8 Final Assembly (Line 3), and contributed to site consolidation efforts by building consolidation schedules with senior leadership and using 2D/3D drawings and ILFT to determine equipment stay/go for manufacturing footprint optimization.

As a Field Service Engineer, I handled fleet issue resolution for commercial and military applications with CFM or GE engines—supporting questions from customers, FAA, and quality. I implemented service bulletins, monitored diagnostics, and supported ownership of fleets reliability and on-wing performance, including significant events/UERs/D&Cs.

Earlier in my career, I led design and manufacturing engineering through automation and control systems work: Siemens PLC-based control panels, pneumatic panels, VFDs, MCCs, switchgear, and fieldbus networks (Profibus, Ethernet). Whether upgrading control systems (Wonderware to Siemens), qualifying products and first articles, or leading high-value program risk management using EVM and Microsoft Projects, I consistently optimize safety, cycle time, and operational outcomes—backed by lean and Kaizen, robust documentation, and disciplined compliance with IEC, NEC, UL, Hazardous Area, and ATEX standards.
