Alexander Sullivan

Gained comprehensive hands-on experience in mechanical systems assembly, maintenance, and troubleshooting within a large-scale industrial environment. Focused on preventative maintenance and diagnostics to ensure optimal equipment performance, safety, and compliance with industry standards.

• Mechanical system assembly and maintenance
• Hydraulic and pneumatic systems
• Troubleshooting and diagnostics
• Welding and fabrication
• Blueprint and technical drawing interpretation
• Preventative maintenance
• Strong problem-solving abilities
• Safety and compliance knowledge.

The machines that I have worked with:

Centrifugal pumps, positive displacement pumps, steam turbines, gas turbines, compressors (centrifugal and reciprocating), heat exchangers, cooling towers, distillation columns, boilers, furnaces/heaters, flare systems, pressure relief valves, conveyors, gearboxes, vibrating screens, rotary valves, piping systems, storage tanks (including floating roof tanks), mixers and agitators, electric motors (associated with pumps and compressors), firewater systems, instrument air systems, hydraulic systems, and crude oil feedstock pumps.

Gained hands-on experience across multiple engineering disciplines through a structured and intensive training program. Key modules and skills developed include:

• Electrical Engineering: Constructed and tested domestic switchboards, installed and maintained electrical circuits, performed fault diagnosis and repairs, and developed proficiency in reading electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Mechanical Engineering: Conducted maintenance, repair, and installation of mechanical systems; worked with rotating equipment and hydraulic/pneumatic systems; and interpreted technical drawings for assembly tasks.
• Process Engineering: Gained insights into industrial process flows, developed an understanding of control systems, and participated in monitoring and optimizing manufacturing processes.
• Instrumentation: Installed, calibrated, and maintained sensors and control devices, including pressure gauges, thermocouples, and flow meters, ensuring accurate measurements and system reliability.
• Fabrication: Developed skills in welding, cutting, and shaping materials to fabricate structures and components, adhering to quality and safety standards.

This training equipped me with a diverse skill set and a strong foundation in engineering principles, preparing me for technical challenges in industrial environments.
