• Served as a Level II & III Test Engineer. Duties included development and implementation of test procedures for testing of various chemical processes, HVAC and mechanical systems. Testing included development of acceptance criteria for testing and testing procedures for installation and acceptance of new and existing process systems. The processes consisted of mechanical equipment (i.e., centrifuges, various types of furnaces, distillation columns, air handling units, vaporizers, pumps, etc.). Testing encouraged the use of the graded approach to select tools and techniques that are commensurate with the dollar value, complexity, visibility, and risk of a project. Provided support to operations and maintenance in trouble shooting of equipment associated with the different chemical and mechanical processes. Directed maintenance craft personnel while troubleshooting or performing testing activities. Provided assistance to operations in development and implementation of various Authorization Projects.
