DANIEL GIRVAN <br />PROFILE <br />Experienced engineering and management professional with a strong <br />background in engineering, resource management and project oversight <br />skills <br />EXPERIENCE <br />Sealed Power Corporation <br />Corporate manager of Energy and Environmental affairs 1977-1987 <br />Muskegon, Michigan <br />Managed all environmental and energy related policies and capital projects <br />for a collection of 30 manufacturing facilities located in the United States, <br />Canada and Mexico. <br />This position required the establishment and maintenance of high quality <br />relationships with the applicable regulatory agencies. Since a number of the <br />facilities had regulated discharge permits, this position also included the <br />need to maintain multiple classes of waste water treatment plant operator <br />licenses as a part of the oversight of individual plant treatment systems. <br />The energy position focused on the efficient use of, and relative cost of <br />various energy sources including electricity, natural gas, fuel oil and coke. <br />President and Chief Engineer, Resource Engineering Inc. 1988-2017 <br />Whitehall, Michigan <br />President and chief engineer of a consulting and engineering firm, <br />specializing in the energy and resource management markets. The customer <br />base consisted of medium to large manufacturing facilities and utility owned <br />power plants. Projects included fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and <br />structural design. Many projects were performed as turn key. <br />A project of interest is the refurbishment of the Consumers Energy Pumped <br />Storage facility in Ludington Michigan. This plant is one of the largest <br />pumped storage projects in the world with a 1,800 MW output. The <br />rebuilding of the six turbine generators cost over one billion dollars and <br />required six years to complete. From the fall of 2015 until summer of 2016, 1 <br />was contracted to Toshiba, the prime contractor, to be the on site engineer. <br />This onsite capability reduced the number of design details that needed to <br />be referred to the engineering staff in Japan thus significantly reducing the <br />turnaround time and advancing the construction process. <br />
