Douglas Fleming: Project engineer in Golden, BC

Responsible for design of preliminary mechanical layout, budget generation and construction management of all minor improvement and major CAPEX projects with budgets up to $4 million CAD. - Create concept and machine layout drawings using Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD to direct fabrication and present concepts to senior management. - Select appropriate contractors and manage up to 15 workers to deliver projects at a high standard. - Specify and source equipment and materials, and report budget status to senior management to maintain CAPEX goals. - Manage daily operations and plant production in the absence of the plant manager to maintain daily production targets of up to 700 MT with approximately 7 workers per shift. - Keep detailed project documentation outlining process changes and ensure regulatory compliance. - Conduct plant design reviews using Root Cause & Failure Analysis and Lean principles to propose improvements and report deficiencies. - Liaise with suppliers and equipment vendors to create and maintain key intracompany relationships. - Undertake “Optimal” plant design development including mass balance, PFD and CAPEX & OPEX budget estimation. -Research and test work related to market expansion and company diversification.

Lecturing and holding of tutorial labs to teach 1 st to 3rd year design students the Solidworks 3D modelling package.

• Designed and built miniature and full-scale prototypes of a preliminary fracking pump design for WEIR oil and gas. • Modification of 3D model in Solidworks for miniature prototyping using 3d printing. • Use of Solidworks to split 3D model of fracking pump design into laminated sections, which could then be cut out using a laser and waterjet cutter. Laminated sections could then be assembled to make small scale acrylic and full-scale plywood models. • Simulation and animation of movement functionality of designed models using Solidworks simulation
