Roles & contributions
  • Project Ownership

    Full lifecycle project ownership

    Owned the full project lifecycle: capital planning and prioritization, need definition, feasibility and scope development, engineering and AFE justification, procurement and vendor coordination, construction sequencing and field oversight, commissioning, turnover, and post-startup support. Connected operating requirements with technical scope, funding decisions, execution readiness, and the needs of operations and maintenance.

  • Installation Contractors

    Project coordination

    Project coordination

    Mechanical and electrical installation responsibilities were assigned in the standby-chiller AFE.

  • Chiller Manufacturer

    Project coordination

    Project coordination

    Onsite startup by chiller manufacturer technicians was planned in the standby-chiller AFE.
