Krotz Springs, Louisiana
05.2026 - 08.2026
- Partnered with Operations across two process complexes to compile heater alarm and trip setpoints, benchmarking them against a new corporate alarm standard and flagging deviations for follow up.
- Designed and built a searchable digital reference for the Foxboro I/A Series DCS spares inventory, covering 56 Fieldbus Modules, 250+ termination assemblies, and 31 upgrade adapters, replacing disconnected spreadsheets.
- Supported a plant wide alarm rationalization initiative, gaining hands on exposure to P&IDs, DCS control modes, and process safety systems.
- Audited inventory records against Schneider Electric specification sheets, correcting part number errors and restoring assemblies missing from the original documentation.
- Gained in depth knowledge of DCS architecture, control loop creation, and loop management, including signal flow from field instrumentation through termination hardware to the control processor.
