Controls \/ Chemical Engineer. He has a unique combination of 26 years of experience in both controls engineering and process engineering in Refinery, Pipeline, Specialty Chemical, and Petrochemical operations!<\/strong> He has a BS in Chemical Engineering from the University of Illinois and completed Graduate Studies at Oregon State University. He isn\u2019t just checking boxes\u2014he\u2019s the total package. With two decades of in-the-trenches chemical plant and automation leadership, he\u2019s programmed, commissioned, optimized, and led control system projects across every major DCS platform<\/strong>. He\u2019s led greenfield plant startups and handled virtualization upgrades. You\u2019re not getting a “paper pusher.” You\u2019re getting someone who owns controls from concept through commissioning, with a proven record of delivering results, reliability, and compliance in dynamic operations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want a rock-solid engineer who\u2019s fluent in the language of production and automation\u2014and who can hit the ground running\u2014here is your guy. He is single, renting and relocation for him is minimal. His impressive experience includes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
