Automation and Control Engineer

• Jan 2021 - Mar 2022

In my last capacity as Automation & Control Engineer, I drove continuous improvement by monitoring automation and control activities at the site and benchmarking against best practices leading to the development and implementation of projects to improve efficiency and safety. I prepared project proposals/estimations/project costing with cost-effective solutions after site survey, client interaction, technical review of documents, reviewing technical specifications in compliance with the client/consultant. I was successful in minimizing investment costs while providing facilities requiring a minimum operating cost (maximum throughput, energy efficiency). I developed & monitored planning timetables/projects schedules, participated in functional area meetings representing engineering and assisted in improving the plant's performance goals. I created cost estimates, investment forecasts, business cases, appropriation requests, plans for minor project activities, and utilized statistical methods for continuous improvement of plant systems and processes.
