1982
1984
Recruited by Mobil into this $1.2 billion Gas-to-Liquids joint
venture.
My initial role for six months prior to startup was training nine new graduates
from all engineering disciplines. They were each assigned an area of the
complex to work in for a month before rotating to another area. Every Friday I
would have them for a day teaching them about all the technical details of one
unit, then took their questions arising from their individual
assignments. In later years I ran the summer intern program gave them
real short-term projects. At the end of ten weeks they submitted a written
report, also presented in five minutes to senior management team. Most of our
graduate hires came from this group.

Auckland University Dept. of
Chemical &
Materials Engineering
Brought back to strengthen their design capability for N.Z
industries.
Changed the approach to the senior year Design Project.
Each team of four was assigned a different process industry plant, with the
same set of project deliverables. Each
team chose a leader whom I met with weekly on their groups issues. During
their six-hour design studio session I would give short lectures on the
milestone phase they were in & spend the rest of the time going to each
group table.

Engineering,
Developed
process engineering software, tested it with staff experts and trained all
process staff in their proper use. Also standardized CAD templates through participation in IGES
1.0 working collaboratively with Brown& Root, DOD and CAD vendors.
Brought the developed interface standards back to PetroMAS, and trained our
Piping Designers.
