  • 2022-2025 I coordinated several emergent 12KV outages, including securing funding, writing contracts, renting equipment, scheduling overtime, and ensuring all areas needing power had the appropriate generators to carry the load. I provided direct oversight for insulation removal and demobilization. The most recent 12KV outage required Bodine onsite to make underground line repairs, removing the vulnerability of the station coming offline by coordinating contractors and vendors for rental equipment to keep the makeup water pump house trailer running. This coordination to repair the line was a four-week project which included setting up compensatory measures, finding the break, making the repairs, temporary power removal, and switching back to house power reliably.
