Designed custom 3-dimensional industrial filtration skid systems and sourced ancillary pieces of equipment for customers, offering broad range of technical solutions and separation technologies for liquid filtration.

· Creates BOM for skid systems, sourced system components through interfacing, managing, and negotiating with vendors.

· Oversaw all aspects of skid system production, including fabrication, post-production spec verification, system testing, environmental testing, quality control, and installation.

Ø Ensured all projects were completed efficiently, on time, and within budget.

· Outsourced critical system components to dependable vendors and ensured all specs were met.

· Introduced company to new filtration industry suppliers and spearheaded hiring of new chemical engineers, enabling company to expand into lithium battery recycling market.

Ø Expansion resulted in reducing reliance on primary (wine industry) clients by 60%
