• 700 & Above Employee

• Engineering Manager

  • Nov 2008 - Jul 2014

  Resource manager responsible for 10-20 civil and mechanical engineers performing design changes to nuclear power plants (balance of plant scope of work). Ensured engineers are properly trained in currently required procedures and skills. Was effective at exceeding group salability and productivity goals during times that these goals were not being met across the business unit. Managed innovation programs to develop solutions for existing and future issues within nuclear industry. Through these programs, worked with engineering teams to develop engineering products and solutions for new regulatory requirements, such as Fukushima Flooding and FLEX. These programs led to over $2M in revenue.Led department and business segment level programs to improve the efficiency and productivity of the business segment.Provided oversight of the expansion of Westinghouse's ASME Code N-Stamp program to include high density polyethylene pipe. At the time, this had only been accomplished by a few companies. Show less
