PROJECT MANAGER SENIOR EXPERIMENTAL TECHNICIAN Summary
Dynamic and entrepreneurial Project Manager and Senior Experimental Technician with progressive experience supporting research, engineering, and management functions by coordinating and distributing projects, providing manufacturing plant support, and managing day-to-day operations of the Lab. Combines strong interpersonal skills with project management experience to collaborate with project managers to control expenditures and ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget and with safety specialists to ensure all environmental health and safety regulations are being met.
Industrial Manufacturing Quality Control Project Management Purchasing Mettler Toledo Reaction Calorimeter [RCI] Liquid Chromatography / EZ Chrom / Open Lab Software Advanced Reactive System Screening tool [ARSST] Software SAP Data Collection / Analysis Standard Operating Procedure [SOP] Development MOC Particle Size Analyzer & BET Surface Analyzer
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE INVISTA S.a.r.l. 2013 – Present Research and Development, Heterogeneous Catalysis Group Oversee and manage daily lab operations in performing various heterogeneous catalysis experiments including purchasing equipment and supplies, upgrading, maintaining, and troubleshooting any problems with lab equipment. Work with Principle Investigator in managing the analysis of samples from all areas of production line in order to troubleshoot production problems and ensure quality standards are met. Collaborates with Chemical Hygiene Officer to ensure safety when dealing with hazardous materials including flammable and carcinogenic substances. Selected Achievements: Conducted critical experiments and analysis to assist in identifying alternative suppliers for materials vital to production. Results of analysis presented to senior leaders provided key data used to determine which suppliers could serve as substitute in the event of supply shortages with current supplier. Conducted over 750 experiments in the lab to investigate plant issues and processes in an effort to eliminate potential process hazards, expedite production, reduce costs, and monitor trends for improvement. Data from these experiments have been used to fine-tune production procedures that ensure the smooth operation of the plant. ASHLAND, INC. 1997 – 2013 Process and Product Development, Engineering Research Laboratory Managed Laboratory responsible for testing and performing quality control on all products going through production. Supported a R&D group that included a professional engineer, chemical engineers, and a statistician. Performed daily lab and inventory control duties including bench scale / plant process safety experiments, ensuring the functioning and calibration of six machines, and profiling and disposing of lab waste. Reported experiment outcomes and data to group members in the US and internationally.

ASHLAND, INC. (Continued) Selected Achievements: Successfully developed a system for more effectively managing queue of items requiring analysis to ensure timely and effective workflow, and ensure production expectations were met.
Participated in project to determine whether a commercial reactor had sufficient cooling capacity to handle an exothermic reaction and whether an emergency vent had sufficient capacity to relieve pressure from a chemical reactor in the event of a loss of temperature control without compromising the equipment’s mechanical integrity. Played a critical role in establishing a safety process and procedure for the manufacturing plant by performing calorimetry of various specialized polymer resin syntheses prior to p plant scale-up.
Partnered with statistical on the multiple Design of Experiments (DOEs) to confirm ARRST accuracy and reliability and to calculate a statistically acceptable amount of variables of charged catalysts making it through the line in order to test cell reactants in explosive and dangerous experiments.
Earned two Performance Awards, three Awards of Excellence, and three Awards of Recognition.
ICI ACRYLICS 1993 – 1997 Quality Control Lab Provided quality control of acrylic pellets. Determined the yellowness index, heat deflection temperature, and vicat softening point of acrylics. Performed purity tests of polymer and monomer acrylics. Utilized gas chromatography to determine residual monomer. Approved incoming monomer and outgoing pellets using statistical process control (SPC).
