Manufacturing Process and Product Research Science Executive (Technical Management Trainee)

JG Summit Olefins Corporation

• Spearheaded the ongoing development and implementation of a comprehensive Behavior-based Safety (BBS) program for the JGSOC manufacturing complex as part of the Working Committee
• Directed the system design and program development of a continuous awareness and risk evaluation system for behavior-based safety incidents reporting  
• Coached a multi-discipline team in delivering value-adding solutions worth Php 67 million savings to address performance issues in steam letdown stations using the Agile framework
• Conducted high-level technical end economic evaluations on alternative polymerization catalysts to explore profit-generating scenarios in the case of raw material limitation at the plant which necessitated presenting the results of my evaluations and recommendations to top management 
• Led the offline model development and online model implementation as Project Engineer to digitally transform our process monitoring tools for distributor plate fouling (process operability concern) and film breaks (product quality concern) via Aspen Technology’s ProMV, a multi-variate analysis software which allowed our operations team to increase reaction uptime and maximize profitability 
• Assessed all polyethylene campaigns in our UNIPOL PE plant to review bi-annually the raw materials consumption for that period and compare it with the previously established standards to ensure inventories for raw materials are in accordance with the projected product volumes and all excessive use of raw materials are properly investigated and addressed

Process Engineer

• Spearheaded the development, implementation, and commissioning of a new seabulk loading line for Polymer pellets to address the export market demand resulting in USD 16,970 savings and additional revenue of USD 151,078 since its successful commissioning in November 2021 
• Designed and implemented key solutions (e.g. provision of an improvised humidifier, installation of magnetic separators, provision of strainers and flushing lines) for removing streamers and pellet abnormalities along conveying lines 
• Demonstrated strong management skills in safe and effective completion of catalyst development projects to facilitate the safe and successful product and process development of new polymer bimodal pipes and films 
• Engaged as the Process Lead for Prodigy Bimodal Catalyst Trials with UNIPOL Technology Licensors which resulted to achievement of previously agreed plant trial objectives and no loss time incidents reported 
• Assessed all purification vessels in the plant to ensure impurity removal is at its optimum and prevent its breakthrough to the reaction systems, this also involved calculating the saturation of the fixed purification beds and its proper scheduling for regeneration 
• Significantly contributed to Overall Plant Safety especially during commissioning of expansion projects by conducting and leading Pre-Startup Safety Reviews (PSSRs), HAZOP and JHA Studies, and Safety System Audits

Associate Process Engineer

• Improved UNIPOL Polyethylene reactor operations by generating operating limits to prevent rapid fouling at distributor plate using analysis tools in Microsoft Excel 
• Improved Process Operability and Product Quality by developing and implementing engineering projects including but not limited to piping and instrumentation modifications, equipment procurement and upgrade, and changes in the DCS of the UNIPOL PE Plant
• Engaged as Project Lead for critical projects (e.g. cycle gas line modifications and reactor distributor plate modifications) to successfully convert one of our polyethylene lines as a swing-reactor able to process both slurry and dry Univation catalysts 
• Conducted incident investigations employing root cause analysis techniques and TapRoot software to pinpoint the root cause of incidents and leading the incident resolution team in generating effective recommendations to prevent recurrence of incidents 
• Engaged as an Internal Auditor for Integrated Management Systems (ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001) and successfully supported the plant in sustaining its IMS Certifications through careful identification of potential non-compliances and generating effective recommendations during internal audits attended 
• Involved as Change Management Controller for request for engineering works and project modification requests to guarantee a safe and effective management of change in the polymer plant for projects that are not replacement in kind. 
• Developed an automated and paperless framework to streamline and shorten processing times for requests for engineering work, and project modification requests complex-wide using Intellipro solutions
• Implemented modifications on controlled documents like Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) and Process Design Packages (PDPs) using AutoCAD and Adobe Acrobat

Junior Process Engineer

I mainly handled data gathering for UNIPOL PE Reactor performance and catalyst trials. I provided support during critical catalyst trials in both PE Plants through catalyst model simulations, process monitoring, and catalyst charging tracking. I also led minor incident investigations and improvement projects for UNIPOL OSBL (Packaging and Utilities). As P&ID Controller of Polymer group, I drew basic CAD drawings to update affected diagrams for implemented projects. I conducted basic Polymer process overviews to customers and visitors at JGSPC. I also scribed for several HAZOP Studies using PHA Works.

Cadet Engineer

Convergys Intelligent Contact

My primary role is to provide technical support in troubleshooting program errors for Intuit Pro/Premier software products. My responsibilities include providing assistance in installation, upgrading and provided customer service for billing and account management concerns. I handle calls and provide support for customers in the US. I work closely with other representatives from other departments to resolve customer's concerns. I also have a background in sales since part of my role is to provide product options for customers and process their sale orders.

Technical Support Representative

Pilmico

I worked as an intern under the Flour Quality Assurance department of the Pilmico Iligan Plant for 240 working hours. I was trained to perform laboratory tests for incoming and outgoing materials to and from the flour mill. I was also exposed to the tasks performed by a QA personnel (i.e. baking tests, audits, preparing QA forms). The laboratory tests I perform include - protein analysis, ash analysis, gluten content determination, moisture determination, pH determination, determination of falling number, Farinograph test, extensograph test, and starch analysis.

Quality Assurance Intern

Aboitiz Equity Ventures Inc

As an intern under the Human Resources team, I was trained to work well with different mentors from the different teams under the HR (i.e. Talent Acquisition, Talent Development, and Future Talents). Under my mentor in talent acquisition, I was given a chance to perform paper screenings, conduct telephone interviews and conduct initial preliminary interviews with talent candidates. Under the Talent Development team, my mentor exposed me to preparing for a managerial training. I was tasked to prepare the training materials and assist during the training. Under the Future Talents team, I was part of the paper screening committee and the facilitator/modulator of the focus group discussion.

Human Resources Intern

With more than six years of hands-on experience in Polyolefins manufacturing and UNIPOL Polyethylene Technology, alongside recent exposure as a Technical Management Trainee in Food & Beverages Manufacturing, I'm passionate about enhancing plant performance and driving operational excellence across diverse industries.

My expertise encompasses process synthesis, design, and data-driven plant performance optimization, complemented by my strong skills in process monitoring, data analysis, and project management. I take pride in my proven track record in catalyst development and product development trials, reflecting my commitment to innovation and continuous improvement.
