Summary

As a project manager I plan; define the scope; direct the implementation; and coordinate projects. I

complete the project within the stipulated time and budget. Many of my responsibilities include

resource allocation, task delegation, supporting project teams, and to ensure compliance with laws,

standard practices, and company policies. I have the skills like decision making, leadership,

communication, negotiation, delegation, team work, and handling pressure. With an MBA in

management/finance coupled with the process efficiency of the Master Six Sigma, my educational

background is solid. This coupled with 15 years experience throughout the United Stat es and Canada

on a variety of projects in coal, ethanol, sugar, power generation, mining and aggregate makes me a

very seasoned project manager. I have contracted my skills when necessary, as well as worked for

engineering firms and manufacturers on project and construction management.
