• Reliability Engineer

  • May 2021 - Aug 2021

  Assisted other Reliability Engineers in performing projects pertaining to the refinery as well as cost analysis. Developed piping plans for firewater systems and aided in the development of pump/compressor replacement and modification. Was tasked to research and construct a business model pertaining to the possible upgrade of a full pump system located within a unit of the refinery. Was later tasked to present on the topic and make a case for the presented pump options.
