Hi, I'm Damian Daniels. Welcome to my profile!

---

My main passions are continuous improvement, lean managment and process re-engineering. I've developed these passions over my education and working for nearly 4 years as an Industrial Engineer. I've had varied experience working in the Oil and Gas sector, pairing a work term in upstream Heavy Oil Production and Exploration, along with 3 years of downstream Retail Gasoline Construction Project Management. During those three years I managed capital projects (ranging from $10,000 - $2,500,000) from initial design, approval from municipal and provincial authorities, permitting, general contractor tendering, construction management and project close-out. My previous experience in Physical Product Development, Analysis and Testing with Research in Motion and 8-month project with Optimizing and Re-Designing a mail processing plant work centre, has given me a wide skill set that I'm excited to carry into new opportunities.   You can reach me directly at [email protected] Specialties: Project Management, Statistical Analysis, Systems Engineering, Continuous Improvement, Change Management, Process Analysis, Lean and Six Sigma, Inventory Management, Supply Chain Management and Design, Work Design and 5S, Facilities Design, Linear Programming and Optimization, Quality Control Monitoring, Ergonomics, Cost Analysis   Damian Daniels
