Developed and reviewed P&IDs, instrument lists, Input/Output lists and control logic diagrams. - Reviewed control strategy design and implementation for Emerson Distributed Control Systems (DCS) for 2 on 1 CFB Hybrid (Coal/Wood) Fired Plant. - Preparation of control logic functional descriptions and specifications. - Regular interface and coordination with other design disciplines. - Interfaced and supported Process business development. - Created and managed Instrument datasheets using Smart Plant (Intools), for Nuclear AP1000 standard. - Assisted with the creation of System Descriptions and Control Narratives

2006 - 2008 Instrumentation & Electrical & Controls Engineer III, Fluor, Greenville, SC - Specified and purchased DCS equipment. Initiated equipment quotation and purchase requests and prepared bid summaries. Heavily involved with procurement of Emerson Ovation and Invensys (Foxboro) Infusion hardware and software. - Assumed additional responsibilities with process department as instrumentation engineer. - Reviewed calculations, sketches and layouts of other Engineers or Designers. Effectively communicated to resolve discrepancies between multiple disciplines to meet client and regulatory requirements

2005 - 2006 Instrumentation & Controls Engineer I, Worley Parsons, Reading, PA - Designed control system components for Power projects, reviewed client design requests to implement control schemes, system descriptions, and specifications that were used to successfully design combine cycle (7H) and coal fired power plants. - Resolved process control related discrepancies to meet client and regulatory requirements. - Reviewed and ordered required instrumentation and equipment necessary for plant site. - Frequently, managed multiple databases to track and organized equipment, instrumentation, I/O, bid evaluations, and other elements required for each project. - Exposure to Foxboro, Emerson Ovation, Siemens T3000, and GE Mark VI systems

2001 - 2004 Instrumentation & Controls Associate Engineer, Siemens/Westinghouse, Alpharetta, GA - Designed control system components for active Fossil Plant Design projects using TXP, interpreted client design input to implement hardware, control software, and configure HMI using submittals in the form of P&IDs, specifications, written descriptions or functional (SAMA) diagrams. Applied all requirements to hardware/software system design and configuration. - Resolved discrepancies between design and system requirements including the HMI. Facilitated on-site DCS software changes & upgrades under deadline. - Designed distributed control systems (DCS) for various power plant systems including: simple gas or steam cycle, and combine cycle. Developed required DCS logic loops. - Worked extensively in HRSG and Balance of Plant (BOP), including open and closed loop control operations for various systems. - Frequently used S7 control system for programming Siemens Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) including windows-based graphics for HMI
