PROFESSIONAL OBJECTIVES

As a construction quality professional, I have 30 plus years of heavy civil

construction experience. My experience and training was primarily in

quality control, quality assurance and field engineering oversight role,

which was accumulated on large scale highway paving, bridge construction,

and Hydro & Coal Electrical Power Projects. My career goals and objectives

include supporting the quality and safety culture for successful completion

of large complex projects that require detailed planning, team building,

effective communication and execution.

My diverse working knowledge in construction methods, materials testing and

inspection (i.e., geotechnical, concrete and asphalt, structural etc.),

inspection and testing plan development, inspection checklist development,

and subcontractor surveillance throughout my career will promote the

necessary oversight role to effectively support construction effort,

maintain schedules, continuously improve and assist the team in a

preventative working culture.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Hydro-Electric Power Stations

Project: Meldahl Hydro Electrical

Employer: MWH Americas

Client: American Municipal Power INC

Job Title: Civil Engineer - Field

Description of Duty: The Meldahl project included installation of three

35-megawatt bulb turbine generator units and other complex equipment. The

Voith Hydro turbine generators were housed in a submersible powerhouse

constructed with 109,000 cubic yards of reinforced concrete. The

contractor team constructed a 1,850-foot-long approach channel that will

direct water from the river into the powerhouse.

To prepare the site, the team excavated portions of more than one million

cubic yards of rock. Groundwater seepage was proving to be a challenge.

To remove water from the site, the team used deep-well and electric pumps

to discharge up to 5,500 gallons per minute. Additionally, the pumps were

operated around the clock to prevent flooding of the project site.

Featured, approximately 40,000 square feet of Doka's pre-assembled Top 50

Construction materials testing

experience

Was employed with Alt and Witzig geotechnical engineering Indianapolis

Indiana from 1980 to 1997 the experience gained while employed there has

proven to be invaluable. Having a good understanding of concrete, soil and

steel field and laboratory testing and inspections has been a great asset.

From 1990 to 1997 I set up and managed an office representing ALT and

Witzig near the IU campus gaining management skills that would benefit me

in my future endeavors.

Management experience

Implemented plan and procedure development, performed document control,

reviewed submittals and assisted resident engineers with RFI's, attended

weekly construction safety, progress and QA QC meetings. Have put together

a team and provided direction.
