1 Alan Scott Burford 415 Las Gaviotas Blvd. Chesapeake Virginia OBJECTIVE: A rewarding position as an Electrical Engineering PROFILE: As a project manager, I accomplished a number of engineering projects at various stages of completion. For example, performed many retrofits to existing equipment: Ford Motor corporation- A large forming press was damaged due to a miss alignment between the upper and lower dies. I had to engineer a way to remove a 17 Dia. X 24 Long Linkage pin that was bent and could not be pressed out. I accomplished this by machining a series of overlapping holes using portable milling equipment and collapsing the pin. Coleman Bridge- performed the alignment and machining of the pinion bores used to open and close the bridge. NAVAL RESEACH LABORTORY D.C.- Repaired the mounting surfaces for, at the time, the largest laser in the United States. Assisted in establishing work standards by implementing in-process inspections to insure contractual obligations are being met. Including technical reports on the status of existing plant equipment subject to repair and upgrades. Assisted in implementing projects to improve existing equipment and facilities. Performed this by modifying existing plant equipment at Surry nuclear power station. For example, modified existing foundations to accommodate new reactor feed water pumps, including the alignment of tandem DC drive motors. Other projects include expanding heat exchangers to accommodate larger cooling demands or installing harmonic balancers to control vibration. And various other modifications at other nuclear power stations. Prepared layout plans showing proposed locations/layouts of equipment, utilities, and associated accessories. Worked with many steel mills any other heavy industries installing special purpose machinery utilizing AutoCAD (see education) to illustrate electrical, water, compressed air, hydraulics, and operator controls.

2 Coordinated advanced planning to ensure future overhaul requirements were provided for equipment. Supported productions shops in planning and procurement. By utilizing my education in computer programing and experience as Tool Maker, including my solid modeling and Computer Aided Manufacturing (SolidCam/InventorCam) experience, I solicited quotes from machine tool builders for machine tool items used in the machine shop, such as, Software upgrades, Tool setting Add-ons, Auxiliary axis drives, and oil separators. Helped manage programs related to industrial plant equipment. Such as, monitor machine performance by periodically measuring wear and tear on mechanical parts. Then prepare technical work documents on corrective action, including cost, manpower needs, and time frame requirements. Issued onsite guidance to ensure efficiency, quality, and safety of operations. By utilizing my experience calculating beam deflections and strength of material calculations, including power requirements of plant equipment and lock-out/tag-out procedures. Assisted in determining requirements for the installation of plant equipment and machine tools. Participated in the restructure and maintenance of shipyard modernization programs. By working with the OEM manufactures of the KURAKI and FRYER, including the Fanuc retro-fit on the 4 Horizontal in code 930, I was able to get most of the bugs worked out. The Fryer would intermittently lose the data for the tool offset and send the head crashing into the work piece. By working with the manufacture, we were able to correct the problem by reprograming some of the machine cycles. The KURAKI was installed with an internal CAM package, tool setting laser, and alignment probe that was simply not being utilized, and by researching the technical manuals and documents, I was able to get all of the installed features fully functional. In turn, instructing other shop personnel on how to use them. The 4 retro-fit was done with a very basic software package. I ve written several Macro programs to make it somewhat more efficient, but the machine is still as basic as you can get for a CNC milling machine. Collected and maintained utilization data for industrial plant equipment. Such as, bearing temperatures readings, oil samples, gear backlash, and motor alignment, and efficiency ratings. Assisted in administering studies related to the development, improvement, and modernization of industrial facilities. I ve made several engineering studies on the use of Computer Aided Manufacturing techniques use in a manufacturing environment, including the use of 5 axis mills to improve efficiency. I ve Solicit ate outside quotes and submitted them with my recommendations

3 Assisted in data collection, inspections, and surveys concerning the maintenance of industrial plant equipment. Researched the procurement of special rigs and equipment by utilizing my extensive rigging experience (see above).
