Carlos Hernandez, MBA

I am currently the Operational Team Leader and longest-tenured PM with 12 years at Atlas Copco NA. My role includes leading both mechanical and software projects, being the designate for the department manager and managing a direct-report software PM. Over the last two years, I have led and implemented more than 150 projects totaling 5M in sales and my overall results were 8% under budget, 98% on-time delivery and 97% Right First Time Quality. I have more than 20 years of combined Project Management and Engineering experience, which includes over 1,200 projects and sales totaling more than 100M. In addition, I have also taught ProMPT, created on-boarding documentation and mentored new hires. I’ve worked with Automotive and General Industry customers such as Ford, GM, Chrysler, John Deere and Caterpillar in both Final Assembly and Powertrain to provide custom-engineered assembly tool solutions for their multispindle fixtures, automation equipment and software applications. I’ve provided start-up support and commissioning supervision of three complete assembly plants in the US and Mexico, including 24/7 project coverage. My experience, knowledge, communication skills and ability to delegate have brought me success when leading various departments to complete projects on time, under budget and with the highest quality. I successfully led the implementation of SAP for Atlas Copco in 2017, while maintaining my PM workload. My role included leading multiple organizations to install a new ERP system within five months, maintaining the budget, preventing scope creep, developing the specifications and modules, user acceptance testing, creating custom reports, and implementing a bar code system for material management. I also created user manuals and conducted training sessions. I have both my MBA and BS from Kettering University and have learned that success comes from creating value for the customer by understanding their needs and building a strategic partnership. I am seeking a management role in a cross-functional team where my education, leadership and Spanish bilingual ability will provide a solid foundation to influence people, product and process improvement.
