Projects

Typically spearhead projects from
$5 – $500 million, with teams size of
5 – 50 engineering and technical staff (depending on project size and complexity of project).
Extensive history of structural design engineering. Designed & Fabricated several hundred steel oilfield/marine structures. Expert level with AutoCAD® and SolidWorks® I've engineered structures to AISC, API, ABS/USCG standards. Typically, managing production, installation, and final commissioning.

Risk Management quantifies the likelihood of an event occurring that leads to one or more consequences for the project objectives.   Typically I develop Risk Response Plans by facilitating project team “Risk Workshops”, to identify project risks, apply appropriate risk/consequence ranking, and determine potential negative cost/schedule impacts. Then apply team developed risk mitigation actions/strategies and target deadlines assigned the appropriate party to best own (manage) that risks mitigation plan. I then impartially monitor risk owners progress mitigating their assigned actions/strategies, to evaluate the results and proposed any needed corrective actions/strategies. The mitigation process is repeated for the projects life-cycle.

Team databases

Every project I’ve managed over the last 23 plus years has required the development of integrated relational databases to control project scheduling, field production, personnel, warehouse logistics, and tracking systems.   Typically I write (code/program) three to six linked databases (as required) to successfully manage each project, depending on each projects scope and complexity. Each Database incorporated an array of custom functions for accounting, engineering calculations, construction scheduling, materials & equipment control, with linked WBS Tracking tables. The SFI Grouping System was tied to the WBS tracking system to obtain project progress reports sorted by mechanical/electrical system as well as WBS.

Structural

Extensive history of Structural Design Engineering.   I've Designed & Fabricated several hundred steel oilfield/marine structures. Expert level with AutoCAD® and SolidWorks® I've engineered structures to AISC, API, ABS/USCG standards. Typically, I will then manage production, installation, and final commissioning.
  • Download the Job Search Tracking Database Download this free database to track all of your Job Search activities and contacts. Out of my frustration with excel based Job Search Tracking (JST), I created this JST Database as a MS Access based solution. The JST database is easy-to-use, easy-to-implement, completely portable, and completely free. The JST database unifies all job hunting related activities and documentation in a single, centralized repository.

  • Download the Risk Management Register Download this FREE Risk Management Database. This RM DB enables you to quantify the likelihood of events occurring, quantify the consequences for the project if the threat is triggered, and assign an action strategy and personnel to mitigate each Risk related set of consequences. The RM Database I’ve developed will help you to rotate through the mitigation process for the duration of your projects life-cycle.

  • Download the Monte Carlo Probability Simulation Spreadsheet Monte Carlo Probability Simulation is a broad class of computational algorithms that rely on repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results. The essential idea is using the summation of repeated randomness to forecast events such as schedule delays and budget overruns. MC Simulation helps predict complex scenarios that normally are resolved by WAGs.

  • Download the Risk Mitigation Database. Risk management refers to the process by which an organization sets the risk tolerance, identifies potential risks, and prioritizes the tolerance for risk based on the business objectives. Risk Mitigation is the action plan which manages and mitigates those identified risks. Download this database for assigning personnel, setting response calendars, and effective action plans for reducing risk to as reasonable as possible.
