Hughes PE <br /> As a Senior Project Manager: He was responsible for all aspects of project management <br /> on projects for Malcolm Pirnie as clients in the following areas: 1) telemetry and systems <br /> control and data acquisition, 2) computer based mapping, 3) database management, 4) <br /> computer based water and sewer system capital planning, and 5) the implementtion of <br /> operations data and maintenance management software. He directed a project to assist <br /> the Government of Antigua with the establishment of a National Data Center <br /> As Manager of Computer Facilities: He managed in-house support and applications <br /> development for the computer-aided design, engineering, and A'accounting and project <br /> management computer systems. He directly supervised a staff of 10 programmers and <br /> engineers, and in this capacity he managed the business plan, capital and operating <br /> budgets and research/development of in-house and direct market applications. The <br /> major tasks he accomplished in this period of tine included replacement of the computer <br /> system used for accounting and project management, implementation of advanced uses <br /> of the CAD system for mapping and engineering analysis, and the development and <br /> marketing of software for water and wastewater facility operations. <br /> Senior Project Engineer: (1983-1984) <br /> He developed the so called integrated software approach to water and sewer system <br /> hydraulic analysis and design. This approach, which incorporated database <br /> management, hydraulic analysis and computer aided design software, was known as <br /> WATERNET and SEWERNET, respectively, for water distribution and sewer <br /> collecA'tion systems. He successfully applied this approach to a number of system <br /> study and planning projects for Malcolm Pirniea€TMs clients. Two significant <br /> SEWERNET projects, which provided the basis for technical papers he authored and <br /> presented at national conferences, were completed for the City of Orlando, Florida, and <br /> Pima County, Arizona. <br /> Mr. Hughes also served as part of a three-person committee responsible for selection <br /> and implementation of Malcolm Pirniea€TMs first computer aided design system. <br /> As Project Engineer: (1982), Mr. Hughes evaluated alternative computing hardware and <br /> recommended acquisition of an appropriate in house computer for engineering <br /> applications. He was responsible for implementing the recommended system and <br /> converting programs from time sharing bureau. <br /> He developed usage charge-back rates and annual capital and operating budgets for the <br /> engineering comA-'puter system and supervised extensive applications programming in <br /> all areas of engineering. He prepared an in house computer users' manual and <br /> conducted trainA-'ing sessions in White Plains and regional offices, as well as installed <br /> and maintained data communication equipment and terminal facilities. <br /> As Engineer: (1978-1981), He was responsible for analysis of oceanographic field data <br /> and construction of multi dimensional water quality models as part of Section 20I facilities <br /> planning studies and Section 301 h permit applications to determine required wastewater <br />
