SUMMARY
I am a qualified Chemist with over 10 years’ experience in Chemical Engineering and Project Management. My experience includes team leadership and engineering design of water and wastewater treatment technologies, process management and water resources including flood and yield hydrology. In addition, I have a proven track of managing a portfolio of business projects including corporate risk management, project governance and non-compliance incident investigations.
I have extensive experience in the following key areas:
Project management of engineering projects and multi-functional project teams for the construction and operations of large scale mining and water and wastewater treatment facilities;
Team leadership and management of technical expertise to support the implementation of water research and development initiatives and strategies in the area of water treatment technology;
Undertaking strategic business investigations and implementation of projects and processes to optimise project delivery and mitigate budget and schedule impacts;
Preparation of approval applications, project submissions and scoping documents in liaison with stakeholders including negotiation of service agreements; and
Implementation of change management processes to optimise the efficiencies and effectiveness of team performance.

The paper is divided into three sections, the first of which will establish a timeline of events. This project background will serve as a case study for the analysis in the following section that will be structured such that each of the previously mentioned facets will be independently analyzed and contrasted with project management principles. Finally the paper will conclude with a summary of the analysis and recommendations based on
With the exceptional growth in technology, the present day projects are often large and complex involving a significant risk. So, a Project Management Methodology enables the delivery organization to handle these projects comprehensively, systematically and in an integrated manner, which results in strategic, tactical and operational benefits.
In the current business environment, the demand for project managers is ever growing. In short, project management is a provisional project constrained by time, cost and scope (A guide to the project management body of knowledge, 2013). Between the immense organization, optimization, and communication assets skilled project management brings to a project, it is easy to see why project management is a booming field of study. Furthermore, project management can be both financially and personally rewarding when long term milestones and goals come to fruition.
Projects are used today as a way of achieving a variety of outcomes in local or international locations for new constructions, new product development, product improvement, process design, process improvement, utility installation, theory and technology development, and many more. Bringing a project to a successful conclusion requires the integration of numerous management functions like controlling, directing, team building, communication and others. It also requires cost and schedule management, technical and risk management, conflict and stakeholder 's management, and life cycle management.
Our name is Team Ramrod. We are an efficient, dedicated and goal oriented team comprised of three engineers, two Chemical and one Biochemical, all having received diplomas from the Colorado School of Mines. Recently we were assigned the task of designing a cost and energy efficient manner with which to provide the residents of your community with clean, usable, even drinkable water. Prior to commencing the project, we have some questions and concerns we wish to address with you so that we may better be able to serve you and your residents in designing this project.

The purpose of this paper is to show provide a case study of the Enlarged Cotter Dam project in Canberra, Australia. This paper will use the 5 dimensions of project management as the guide and layout.
Welcome to science: where projects start smooth only to become more complex and exciting from there. Coming up with a senior capstone project proved to be quite a challenge. After months of vacillating between topics I finally settled on water quality. At this point I assumed my decisions were over with, I could not have been more wrong. As it turns out, interdisciplinary education happens to be the truest simulation of real world experiences in the job force. Moreover, it is imperative to learn in a manner that mirrors that of real life.
The Global Infrastructure Group, a subsidiary of the Global Financial Corporation, is an international conglomerate specializing in developing technologies and solutions for the Global Financial Corporation. This proposal for the Global Infrastructure Group will advise on what requirements the organization can best implement for a comprehensive project management system that can be used in a global organization that has small-, medium-, and large-scale projects. This proposal will
The issues in this case revolve around the launch of a mini-oxidation product which will solve global clean water issues. Their filtration unit has already experienced two failures in the launch of this product. Vyas, the business manager of this unit, is convinced that the unit can be turned around by innovativeness. He revives an abandoned oxidation technology and recommends his team to develop a small-scale oxidation system with the capacity of disinfecting waste-water in small batches. While the market analysis of the product proved promising, marketing the product was a tussle and it failed due to defects in the design and lack of interest in the market. Through a three-phased process recommended by Cynthia Jackson, Vyas team was
While projects can be similar in some instances, no two projects are ever the same. For this reason, management of projects requires the application of tools and techniques to meet the goals of the temporary endeavor. Project managers apply these tools and techniques to determine what is required for project delivery such as the list of activities to completed, the time required to complete the activities, resources needed and the various risks associated with the deliverable and efforts. A multitude of tools and techniques are employed by the project manager based on the need of the effort to organize, identify and communicate the various aspects of the project. While in contrast, the repetitive nature of operations activities
Chemical engineers play a vital role in the lives of everyone. For instance, they transform raw materials into something useful, analyse our food and purify our water for safe consumptions, generate electricity from fossil fuels, make plastics and most importantly make something more efficient which will have less impact to the environment. Without their hard work, a sustainable development is hard to be achieved. In 2050, it is estimated that the world population will increase up to 9.6 billion people. Of course, we never wished to see our future generations’ life being threatened by the long haul unfriendly impacts created by us. Our acts determine the future. Therefore, I want to be one of those people who can change the
Managing a project is no easy task. A project is a series of tasks or jobs that are related to each other and directed toward a common goal or output. Projects usually require a significant time commitment, and tend to be handled by groups of workers. The employees at Craft Construction, a small business that deals with complete remodeling and some small commercial buildings, generally divide into groups of two or three workers per project. The number of employees assigned to a job usually depends on the size of the project. For each project, a project manager and a lead carpenter are assigned to handle most of the work. Project scheduling is different for every job. Smaller jobs require less planning because there is
Project management is a series of steps taken in sequence to manage a project through all phases from conception to completion. The steps are documented in a strategic plan. The plan is used to ensure that all parties are working towards a common goal. Project management requires applying knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to specific activities in accordance with established standards and guidelines. There are five basic functions of project management: planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling. Basic activities of project management include: identifying project requirements to define the outcomes; addressing various needs, concerns and expectations of others; setting up, maintaining and carrying out communications; managing others; creating project deliverables; and balancing competing project constraints.
