Mechanical Engineering. As a member of a centralized Engineering
group, Ms. Grubbs provided mechanical technical support to a fleet of
over 90 operating natural gas-fired power plants. These tasks broadly
ranged in magnitude from a relief valve study on the anhydrous ammonia
system to assisting in Heat Recovery Steam Generator inspections and
outage engineering support.
Project Engineering. As a member of a site construction team, Ms.
Grubbs provided technical field support during construction. As the lead
engineer she was required to troubleshoot inter-disciplinary engineering
field issues, giving her a broad base of knowledge relative to power plant
construction and the issues that arise.
Construction Management. Ms. Grubbs was responsible during her
tenure in construction for such tasks as purchasing all plant equipment
for non-EPC contract projects, managing major equipment vendor
contracts (GE, Toshiba, Siemens, Nooter/Eriksen), managing staff,
managing construction crews and schedules, writing scopes of work,
resolving punchlist issues, representing the site in dealing with City
officials, County officials, and site neighbors, managing the
Architect/Engineer of Record, supporting the Start-up and Operations
groups during the commissioning phase, and ensuring environmental
compliance. The experience gained from this diversity in her range of
responsibilities has given her a good perspective for making decisions
and evaluations related to power plant construction.
Plant Engineering. Ms. Grubbs worked on capital improvements for a
gypsum processing plant situated at a quarry. As part of her position,
Ms. Grubbs was required to identify places where improvement was
needed and then secure the necessary capita. This process involved
compiling design information as well as budget and schedule projections.
