11/1988 - 2/1993 Chief Engineer
Ceramic Services Corp East Liverpool/Ohio
Hired as a drafter but moved up within the first year to take over the position of head engineer. Ceramic Services provided abrasion resistant materials for the conveying of abrasive bulk material such as coal, copper, bottom ash, fly ash, bark, etc.
• Responsibilities included site visits to facilities for bid meetings with customers to determine preliminary system designs for bidding projects, working up projected material and labor cost for each project, layout of systems for retro fit with lined parts or redesign of systems for new routings and new systems.
• Responsibilities also included contacting vendors for material pricing, issuing purchase orders, detailing shop drawings for fabrication, assembly drawings for installation, and quality control.
• To increase understanding of the manufacturing process as well as the installation of the various systems I would physically work with the fabricators and installation crews to have a better “hands on†understanding of the systems. This provided a complete outlook on how to design the systems to be construction easier saving in manufacturing time, less waste of material, transportation and delivery of equipment, installation and setup of systems, and operation of the systems. In the end creating a more competitively price product with better quality and generating firsthand experiences with the products that can be explained to a customer during any phase of the project.
