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.

Developed the integrated scope for acetator tanks, air and cooling services, scrubber connections, filtration and standby power. PLC and HMI requirements connected equipment behavior with operator visibility and the verification needed for startup.
