WORK HISTORY
Systems, Procurement & Fire Protection Engineering Manager Regulatory & Safety Programs @Urenco USA
Eunice, NM, US
As an Engineering Manager in a high-reliability, highly regulated environment, I lead multidisciplinary programs that drive operational safety, equipment reliability, power quality, procurement quality, and long-term system performance. I integrate systems engineering, procurement oversight, fire protection management, electrical analysis, ETAP modeling, and data-driven tools to strengthen engineering capability and support safety-critical operations.I lead and develop cross-functional teams of engineers, technicians, and SMEs with a focus on accountability, clarity, and continuous improvement. I manage major engineering programs including CAAS, IROFS, Safe-by-Design, RAM analysis, failure trending, obsolescence management, configuration control, and system health strategies—ensuring risk-significant systems remain reliable, compliant, and aligned with licensing and regulatory requirements.Technical Expertise:I apply advanced electrical engineering knowledge and full-site ETAP modeling to ensure system reliability and power quality. I modeled the entire facility in ETAP and performed load-flow, short-circuit, coordination, arc-flash, harmonic, transient, and power-factor studies. I also conduct detailed reviews of design changes, electrical drawings, schematics, and procedures to ensure technical rigor.Procurement Engineering & CGD:I oversee procurement engineering, commercial-grade dedication, supplier qualification, and technical evaluations to ensure components meet safety, reliability, and compliance expectations while optimizing lifecycle performance.AI & Predictive Maintenance:I integrate AI and predictive analytics into maintenance programs, improving SAP data quality, enabling failure prediction, strengthening condition monitoring, and supporting data-driven maintenance prioritization.Results-Driven:My work consistently improves system reliability, safety performance, lifecycle cost, and overall engineering program health.
EDUCATION

SKILLS
ABOUT GUSTAVO DIAZ
I am a senior engineering leader with extensive experience strengthening reliability, operational safety, and technical program performance across highly regulated, high-risk environments. My career spans systems engineering, electrical power systems, procurement/CGD quality, fire protection engineering, reliability engineering, and technology-driven maintenance modernization. I lead with high accountability, strategic clarity, and a transformational mindset—building strong teams, elevating program health, and consistently delivering measurable results.I have directed major engineering programs including CAAS, IROFS, Safe-by-Design, RAM analysis, failure trending, obsolescence management, configuration control, and long-term system health strategies. My oversight ensures mission-critical systems remain reliable, audit-ready, and aligned with licensing and regulatory expectations. I excel where precision, safety, and technical rigor drive operational success.Technical Leadership & Power Systems Expertise:I bring deep electrical engineering capability supported by full-site ETAP power modeling. I independently built the facility’s complete ETAP model and performed load-flow, short-circuit, coordination, arc-flash, harmonic, transient, and power-factor studies. This allows me to validate modifications, optimize protection settings, identify vulnerabilities, and maintain high-quality power distribution. I also lead detailed reviews of design changes, drawings, schematics, and procedures to ensure technical integrity and long-term performance.Program & Organizational Impact:I have improved equipment reliability, reduced downtime, strengthened CGD and procurement engineering programs, elevated fire-protection program health, supported major system upgrades, and removed high-risk vulnerabilities through structured engineering oversight.Learning & Emerging Technologies:I actively learn, adopt, and integrate new technologies—including AI-driven tools—into engineering workflows. I apply these advancements to enhance RAM analysis, improve predictive insights, increase SAP data accuracy, and strengthen maintenance and reliability programs where applicable.Leadership Philosophy:I build teams that operate with clarity, discipline, and collaboration. I create structure, develop talent, and elevate engineering culture through strong communication and consistent execution. My decisions are guided by integrity, reliability, and long-term organizational benefit.
