About Drew Cardone

I am a seasoned Electrical and Automation Project Leader with over a decade of experience in heavy industry, steel manufacturing, and large-scale automation projects. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for project management and technical problem-solving, as well as for creating innovative automation solutions that reduce downtime and costs, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to operational excellence and revenue growth throughout my career. Professional focal points include automation engineering, high-voltage systems, SCADA development, predictive maintenance, project management, and safety leadership. Delivering superior results in these areas requires effective communication, cross-functional leadership, technical expertise, and business acumen to support efficiency and long-term success. Currently, I am an Electrical Design Engineer with Primetals in Germany. Under my leadership, I manage electrical and automation projects valued over €10M from concept through commissioning, overseeing design, procurement, installation, and commissioning activities. I also liaise with clients, vendors, and internal stakeholders to ensure project milestones are met, risks are mitigated, and solutions are delivered on time and within budget. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, results-driven leader who combines hands-on technical expertise with strategic project management. I am interested in connecting with engineers, project leaders, and operations executives across the automation and manufacturing sectors.
