JAMES WARREN · APOLLO AUTOMATION

Project Delivery & Execution

Engineering judgment, capital project ownership and practical operating context.

Capital Planning and Full Lifecycle Ownership

Owns the full lifecycle of capital projects, connecting safety, reliability, capacity, compliance and business impact with technical scope and execution. Capital planning includes need definition, feasibility, prioritization, AFE development, procurement, construction, commissioning, turnover and post-startup support. Funding decisions are informed by operating requirements, alternatives, interfaces and the resources needed to deliver a usable system.

Capital Strategy and Business Alignment

Project Lifecycle, FEL, and Execution Models

Explore the specific capabilities and their connected activities.

Design and Multidisciplinary Coordination

Mechanical, electrical, controls, civil and structural requirements are brought together around the operating process. Layouts, utility tie-ins, foundations, piping routes, equipment specifications and controls architecture are developed together. Design reviews and field verification turn assumptions into explicit requirements before procurement and construction.

Lifecycle Artifacts: Front-End and Design

Explore the specific capabilities and their connected activities.

Construction Sequencing and Field Oversight

Live-plant work requires deliberate control of outages, tie-ins, contractor access, utilities, safety and sanitation. aligns mobilization, cross-trade work and inspections with production needs, resolves field conflicts, and connects installation readiness with commissioning gates and operator readiness.

Scheduling, Shutdowns, and Execution Sequencing

Explore the specific capabilities and their connected activities.

Construction Management and Construction Project Delivery

Explore the specific capabilities and their connected activities.

Lifecycle Artifacts: Procurement and Construction

Explore the specific capabilities and their connected activities.

AFE Development, Procurement and Bid Evaluation

Capital justification connects the need, scope, alternatives, benefits and risks with a defensible estimate. RFQs define boundaries, assumptions, exclusions, interfaces, shutdown constraints, acceptance criteria and documentation. Bid leveling compares technical compliance, delivery, serviceability and lifecycle requirements; long-lead tracking and supplier recovery plans support the execution schedule.

AFE and Capital-Governance Controls

Explore the specific capabilities and their connected activities.

Estimating, Financial Control, and Expense Traceability

Explore the specific capabilities and their connected activities.

Procurement, Contracts, and Supplier Coordination

Supplier Qualification and Technology Maturity

Explore the specific capabilities and their connected activities.

Project Controls and Governance

Scope, schedule, cost tracking, forecast to complete, open risks and change exposure provide a common basis for decisions. aligns executive leadership, corporate functions, plant leadership and field teams around the same requirements and priorities. Readiness reviews, risk escalation and change control keep technical decisions connected with delivery obligations.

Quality, Commissioning and Operating Readiness

Field inspections, loop checks, interlock tests and performance verification connect installation quality with the design basis. Turnover brings together as-built information, operating and maintenance documentation, training, punch-list closure and maintenance ownership. Post-startup support closes the loop between equipment acceptance and stable operation.

Delivery Improvement and Quantitative Controls

SIPOC, process mapping, FMEA, root-cause analysis and control plans provide a structured way to improve recurring delivery processes. Schedule-risk analysis, three-point estimates, earned-value indicators, resource planning and trend reviews support decisions about readiness and recovery. Lessons from construction and commissioning feed back into estimating, specifications and the next project's execution plan.
