Ardalan Shahrizad

PMP-certified Project Manager / Project Coordinator with a mechanical engineering foundation and hands-on experience coordinating technical projects across industrial facilities, HVAC/refrigeration systems, automated equipment, controls-related improvements, documentation, procurement, and commissioning support. Experienced translating technical requirements into practical scopes, schedules, work plans, logs, and cross-functional action items. Brings direct exposure to sensors, conveyors, automated rail systems, valves, motors, steam/process equipment, Maximo/CMMS, AutoCAD drawings, HVAC/refrigeration layouts, and live-facility coordination.

Positioned to support Delta Intelligent Building Technologies by managing building automation project requests, Statements of Work, quotes, resource coordination, scope changes, timelines, and stakeholder communication across commercial and healthcare environments.

Maintenance Engineer / Technical Project Coordinator - Alsco Uniforms - Surrey, BC

(2024-05)

• Coordinate technical improvement, maintenance, reliability, and facility projects in a live automated industrial plant, aligning schedules, labour, materials, vendors, shutdown windows, safety requirements, and production priorities to minimize disruption.
• Support automation and controls-related improvements involving EVU overhead rail systems, conveyors, sensors, motors, valves, pumps, chemical delivery, steam/process equipment, and production-critical controls; translate operational problems into clear work scopes and follow-up actions.
• Collaborate with maintenance, production, service leadership, vendors, and management to clarify requirements, communicate constraints, allocate resources, escalate risks, and keep open items moving through completion.
• Plan and track preventive/corrective work through Maximo/CMMS, work orders, photos, parts logs, repair notes, equipment history, and follow-up items, improving visibility into recurring failures, open risks, and completed work.
• Coordinate process and equipment modifications that improved targeted plant productivity by approximately 12.3% through EVU inventory handling/tracking improvements and supported roughly 10% efficiency gains through sensor, conveyor, and process-control reconfiguration.
• Led a maintenance workshop and spare-parts redesign using 5S principles, visual controls, standardized locations, and an inventory system, improving access to critical parts and reducing delays caused by missing or poorly staged materials.
• Support healthcare textile processing certification readiness by coordinating documentation review, hazard identification, gap tracking, corrective-action follow-up, SOP awareness, issue logs, and audit-readiness activities.
• Perform practical troubleshooting and return-to-service coordination after jams, sensor faults, belt replacements, control resets, electrical checks, mechanical adjustments, and vendor-supported repairs.

Project Manager - Cold Storage, Clean Room & Industrial HVAC Projects - Pishro Sanat Sard Khazar - Rasht, Iran

(2018-01 - 2023-04)

• Managed full-cycle delivery of 7 clean-room and cold-storage projects over 46 months, ranging from 200 m3 supermarket cold rooms to a 0.25 million m3 food-manufacturing facility on a 1-hectare site.
• Coordinated design, procurement, fabrication, transportation, installation, QA, commissioning, customer communication, punch lists, and final handover for industrial refrigeration and facility projects.
• Created and maintained project schedules, resource plans, material follow-up lists, risk/issue logs, inspection notes, work instructions, progress reports, and completion documentation to keep technical workstreams aligned.
• Worked across engineering, fabrication, suppliers, installers, contractors, and client representatives to clarify scope, resolve fitup/routing/sequencing conflicts, and manage changing site conditions.
• Directed work involving polyurethane sandwich panels, ductwork, compressors, condensers, evaporators, refrigerant piping, insulated envelopes, equipment placement, and mechanical/HVAC coordination.
• Supported project costing and commercial control by coordinating procurement, supplier negotiation, delivery timing, and material planning, improving cost efficiency by 4.7%.
• Introduced a polyurethane sandwich panel production line by coordinating layout, equipment needs, operator requirements, material flow, quality checkpoints, and implementation planning.
• Improved production-line capacity by 10% through capital/process improvements, workflow stabilization, equipment utilization improvements, and stronger coordination between fabrication, assembly, and installation support.

Mechanical Engineer - Pishro Sanat Sard Khazar - Rasht, Iran

(2016-02 - 2017-06)

• Supported mechanical design, drafting, installation review, and field coordination for cold-storage and clean-room projects involving insulated panels, ductwork, compressors, condensers, evaporators, refrigerant piping, and mechanical layouts.
• Prepared technical drawings, inspection notes, material records, and installation follow-up documentation while coordinating with technicians, installers, supervisors, suppliers, and project managers.
• Participated in commissioning and start-up support by checking mechanical readiness, confirming equipment placement, documenting deficiencies, and following up with responsible teams before handover.
