Assigned as the General Manager for a 120MW facility in Ressano Garcia, Mozambique, Africa. Arrived on site during the commissioning phase of the power facility. Immediately faced challenges with mobilization not being completed adequately. Took rapid action to replace key positions where current expats were not effective removing 5 key expats including the plant manager then finding their replacements in the first month after take over. Within the first year of operations we had to manage the following additional major issues: a. 1 Cracked crank shaft b. Undersized fin fan coolers c. 1 Cracked engine block e. Cylinder head seat wear that lead to having to refurbish / replace 260 cylinder heads. d. Big end bearing issues which lead to having to replace 260 big end bearings. e. Over 1,400 trips and failures to start of the engines f. HV yard pin failure caused arcing and having to take the plant down to inspect and put the HV yard back in service. We did this work in only 6 hours of down time. During the first year of operations this facility had a 4,000 item internal EPC punch list, 100+ item client punch list and 600 warranty claims. Faced with these challenged I had the pleasure of leading an incredibly competent and dedicated team to pass 5 audits of which 3 had less then 2 days notice. Additionally we implemented the maintenance system, inventory system, established the local company, selected and trained local staff, created each department with their procedures as well as met 99.5% of contracted availability. We implemented a culture of accountability within the facility in order to ensure we could properly train the local staff as well put the client in a situation where takeover can be possible after the O&M contract period. All this was accomplished while not increasing headcount to deal with the major issues or increasing cost to the client. Additionally the first year financial performance was well above planned.
