• Maintained detailed records for equipment maintenance, quotes, expenses, manuals and reference materials, and established procedures and evaluation criteria.
• Coordinated information flow and cooperation across departments.
• Sufficiently understood job-related programs to create tools and guides for employee training.
• Created calculation tools to simplify complex calculations.
• Reverse engineered existing tools and calculations.
• Evaluated performance requirements for equipment sizing and pricing for heat exchangers, fans, stacks, and ducting.
• Generated prospect layouts for key equipment prior to quote generation for projects.
