Project Ownership and Delivery Context

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.

Compared filtration options against demand and lifecycle requirements, integrated CIP and instrumentation with dedicated electrical feeds, and developed clean-water-flux tracking and maintenance follow-up. Ion-exchange testing extended the investigation into product clarity and quality, while modular expansion planning connected the equipment choice with future operating demand.
