Newport News, Virginia
01.2004 - 10.2013
Broad Range of experience with Surface Ship and Submarine Naval Nuclear Power Plants spanning over twenty years
Problem Prediction/Prevention/Solution: Specializes in prediction, prevention, and solution of problems involving the many engineering facets associated with design, operations, maintenance, and testing of nuclear powered aircraft carriers and submarines at shipyards
Responsible for ensuring the shipyard organization is performing thorough root cause analysis of problems and ensure process improvement, opportunity analysis and risk management is performed
Engineering: Required to independently validate technical decisions made by hundreds of mechanical, electrical, chemical, electronic, radiological, and nuclear test engineers
Project Execution: Signatory authority for maintenance, testing, and operations during five depot level nuclear vessel maintenance availabilities (averaging two years in duration), ensuring compatibility of maintenance, testing and operations with complex mechanical, electrical, electronic, and nuclear systems
Reviewed completion of all work and performed independent certification of preparations for nuclear reactor operation following maintenance availabilities
This includes work certification, system validation, and training preparations
Detailed maintenance record reviews and analysis of testing data for compliance to prescribed requirements
Maintenance Management and Supervision: Experience auditing scheduling and execution of production work including critical path analysis, schedule integration, key event and milestone management, and test program validation
I have spent hundreds of hours auditing production health metrics such as float, work in process (WIP) metrics, cost variance, schedule variance, cost performance, and schedule performance
I have performed hundreds of surveillances of in process mechanical, electrical, radiological work for compliance to approved procedures
Duties required oversight of hundreds to thousands of engineers, managers, inspectors and productions workers.
