Mike Roberts, Kansas City Field Office, was among the Secretarial Appreciation Award honorees recently at DOE in Washington D.C.
Roberts was recognized for Excellence in Project Management for his contributions as the Federal Project Director of the newly constructed $750 million replacement facility for NNSA’s Kansas City Plant. To meet a cost reduction target of $100 million annually for the Kansas City Plant, Roberts established a multi-agency project team of more than 45 federal and contractor engineering staff that used third-party financing to construct a 1.5 million square foot industrial facility with LEED gold certification in 29 months. Despite the complex nature of NNSA component fabrication requirements, the project was completed on time and within budget.
During the past two years, The Secretary of Energy has presented more than 60 individual and team awards to recognize Management and Operational excellence in support of the DOE’s vision for transformational clean energy, science, and security solutions that are significant, timely and cost effective.
