The environmental control systems included air and water emissions to meet strict EPA closed loop requirements (i.e. furnace dust capture & recycling). Monitoring and usage of high voltage electrical power utilized state of the art generation, control and distribution technologies such as frequency drive blower motors, PLC logic controllers for all aspects of production control. Modernization of steam power and generation included new piping insulation and heat tracing, a new condensation/chiller plant. Steam is used at ArcelorMittal as part of the production process itself and to run turbines to generate electrical power.Duties included:Responsible for project management/contractor coordination with Sargent ElectricMeet with facility operators and plant engineering to review project progressIdentified new and existing client needs/developed scope of work proposals for initial and on-going projects.Prepared and maintained project budgetsDevelop and maintain project scheduleUSS (Contract Project Manager) December 2017 to June 2018Gary Indiana Gary WorksThe USS Gary, Indiana Tin Mill facility developed a facility upgrade and automation program aimed specifically at improving product quality, reduced overall cost and on-time delivery. The Tin Mill process converted flat cold rolled steel to a product plated with Tin. Primary customers for this product are the canned food and beverage industry who use the USS plated steel to cold form cans and similar containers. Equipment upgrades were focused on reliably meeting customer standards for flatness, mechanical deformation properties and uniform gauge thickness across the width of the coil. These equipment upgrades relied on sophisticated computerized real time product data gathering and feedback to maintain product dimensional, mechanical and metallurgical specifications. Supporting these process technology upgrades required a much more sophisticated and reliable mill drive motor electrical system. Quality monitoring and control to meet tighter customer specifications demanded sampling, inspection and corrective action to be taken in process. This was accomplished with an entirely new PLC based system and high- tech operator work stations located at strategic locations on the shop floor.Duties included:Responsible for project management/contractor coordination with MJ ElectricMeet with facility operators and plant engineering to review project progressProgram Manager for $51 million capital improvement projects.Directing staff of 4 Project Managers at 3 locations.Identified new and existing client needs/developed scope of work proposals for initial and on-going projects.Prepared and maintained project budgetsDevelop and maintain project scheduleNiSource (Contract Project Manager) January 2017 December 2017Corporate Headquarters Merrillville, IndianaNiSource is northern Indianas public utility company, providing natural gas and electrical power.
