Senior Reliability Engineer

Brian Taite graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 1992 and Bachelor of Civil Engineering in 1994 and went on to complete a Masters of Environmental Engineering in 1999. Prior to joining GenesisSolutions he was engaged as a consultant for a number of major oil companies, government agencies and within private industry for environmental site assessments, risk assessments, site remediation, project management and health and safety planning.

Working on environmental clean-up projects led to experience in maintenance and management of various remediation equipment systems. Along with overall project management, financial planning and cost control, Brian was involved with all aspects of project work including preparation of technical specifications, equipment refurbishment and optimization, corrective maintenance, failure modes identification and assessment, recommendations for system improvements, and the development of preventative maintenance routines.

In 2006, Brian joined the GenesisSolutions team as a contractor in The Netherlands as part of the Shell Upstream International Europe, Technical Integrity Enhancement Program (TIEP) for the ONEgas Asset. This includes almost 60 natural gas offshore production platforms and two onshore gas plants in the Southern North Sea. The project involves identification of safety critical elements, development of performance standards and review and development of maintenance routines in Shell Oil’s CMMS system (SAP Blueprint) to ensure the performance standard assurance tasks are well defined and fully covered under the preventative maintenance plans for all safety critical equipment.

Now a GenesisSolutions employee, Brian has embraced the opportunity to become involved with the North Sea Oil and Gas industry and to help Shell maintain its high safety standards through top tier maintenance programs and compliance activities. He has great personal and professional satisfaction while applying his background in maintenance and reliability engineering to enhance the technical integrity of ONEgas assets, protect the environment and ultimately ensure the safety of the people who work at these facilities.

Manager, Professional Services

Tim Gilmer began his career in 1987 as a Junior Chemist at Milliken Chemical after graduating from Wofford College with a degree in Biology. While at Milliken, Tim was responsible for R&D on several product lines which afforded him the opportunity to work with Engineering and Production personnel at two production facilities as well as both quality labs. During his time at Milliken, Tim co-authored two patents and piloted the company’s first ultra-filtration unit that recovered millions of dollars of product in the first year.

In 1990, Tim took a position as Technical Director with a company based in the UK that was starting a manufacturing facility in the US. Tim was the third employee hired and participated with building the facility, the installation and commissioning of equipment, developing base formulations for products, and developing all procurement relationships with raw material vendors. Tim was responsible for all technical aspects of the company, which also included Engineering and Maintenance. The company grew quickly and was financially self-sufficient inside of 36 months. The company developed a niche market for custom power coatings, and is currently one of the very few in the world that can deliver custom color and texture powder within 24 hours.

Tim took a position with Datastream Systems in the fall of 1994, where he was a consultant with the responsibility of helping customers install and setup Datastream’s CMMS products. Tim also trained the end-users on the application onsite as well as in structured classed offered by Datastream. Tim worked at Datastream until April 2003, and during this time he worked in Product Development, Direct Sales, Internal Training, and Corporate Training.

In 2003, Tim joined GenesisSolutions as a Principal Consultant, primarily focused on Datastream projects. Since that time, Tim has worked on many Datastream (now Infor EAM) and IBM Maximo Asset Management projects in various capacities. Tim is now a Manager of Professional Services and is responsible for the overall success and management of customer engagements. He has overseen successful EAM projects in the manufacturing, pharmaceutical and automotive industries. Tim ensures his customers success through strong project management skills, EAM system expertise and by driving team collaboration.

Project Summary: CMMS Migration within a Biotechnology Environment

Senior Consultant

Chad Bring, a Senior Consultant with GenesisSolutions, began his career as a quality control manager for Vanity Fair. In 1998, Chad accepted a transitional position as a field consultant with Datastream Systems where he helped customers implement and develop Datastream’s CMMS product line. Chad focused on helping clients realize the benefits attributed to Quality Based Production through better maintenance practices.

Chad transitioned from the consulting arena and accepted a plant management position with Oldcastle in late 2000. This challenging role included System Administration, Training and Mentoring, Quality, and Environmental Health and Safety Management responsibilities in a culturally diverse environment for the largest manufacturer of building products in North America. While his success in that role was rewarding Chad realized that he truly missed the consulting work and the diverse vertical exposure and challenges that come with those engagements.

Chad found himself at home in 2003 when he accepted a position with GenesisSolutions. He has worked in multiple role assignments for Genesis ranging from Field Engineer to Project Manager. His skill sets in Engineering Services, Reliability, Validation and Testing, Configuration, and Business Process Re-engineering allow Chad to transition gracefully from pharmaceutical engagements to heavy manufacturing engagements and consistently deliver quality service and focused solutions to his clients.

In April 2011, Chad received Special Recognition from Genesis for his services performed with MedImmune. Chad has initiated improvements in the areas of storeroom management, data accuracy, reliability services, support and technical infrastructure. As a result of his performance, Chad has recently been named the MedImmune Business Owner of the Maximo application.
