  • Capital Projects & Financial Management
    • Identify and manage capital needs (production, safety, and building) from inception to
      completion.
    • Direct all project phases: estimating, fund procurement, equipment specification, vendor
      management, and onsite safety supervision.
    • Own the Maintenance OpEx budget, including oversight of MRO parts inventory and
      contractor service agreements to ensure fiscal responsibility.
  • Safety & Compliance
    • Serve as a key resource for safety-related issues and maintain steadfast environmental
      regulatory compliance.
    • Energy Management: Expertly manage and oversee Lock Out Tag Out Try Out

      maintenance activities.
    • Process Safety: Direct compliance and technical oversight for Process Safety
      Management (PSM) and Risk Management Plan (RMP) standards, ensuring all
      mechanical integrity and pressure vessel requirements are met.
    • Identify and manage Capital needs for safety and environmental improvements from
