PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCEEngineering Laboratory Technician / Chief Reactor Watch / Work Center Supervisor / Assistant Work Center SupervisorJanuary 2012 – August 2015Reactor Laboratories Division, USS George H. W. Bush (CVN-77), Norfolk, VA Key member of the reactor department accountable for ensuring the proper operation and maintenance of all chemistry and radiological controls for one reactor plant, one AVT steam plant, and 4 steam generators. Primary responsibilities include:

Supervising 5 reactor mechanical watch stations during complex and abnormal evolutions. Supervising and participating in the execution of technically challenging evolutions including special radiochemistry sampling, reactor

plant discharges, and operational venting evolutions. Creating the maintenance schedule for daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly planned preventative maintenance. Created

packages for corrective maintenance. Coordinated all aspects of maintenance completion within the #2 Reactor Plant RL-Div. Providing radiological supervision for several complex maintenance evolutions resulting in no loss of radioactive material. Monitoring, sampling, and maintaining proper chemistry in reactor plant and steam plant. Responding to system and unit abnormalities, diagnosing the cause of failure/inefficiency and taking appropriate corrective actions. Maintaining and Troubleshooting reactor plant and steam plant automated sampling equipment (ACAS/SCAAS). Training personnel on proper operation of primary valves, Radiological practices, A4W platform chemistry requirements, reactor plant

water chemistry, and Ion Chromatography resulting in over 10 personnel qualifying Engineering Laboratory Technician. Operating mechanical reactor plant support systems containing air operated manual and hydraulic valves, positive displacement, and

centrifugal pumps. Assigned as the #2 Plant Work Center Supervisor. Responsible for managing six personnel in the preventive and corrective maintenance of the plant. Also responsible for training several personnel in the use and upkeep of state-of-the-art automated chemistry sampling equipment.
