SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE:

I have acquired 20 plus years of experience in project planning, cost control and project management on major refinery/petrochemical, rail/ship terminals and manufacturing facilities. Assignments have included work developing and implementing cost and scheduling procedures for the Project Controls Department at an industry leading company. I have also been instrumental in developing and implementing Activity Quality Plans (AQP) for ISO 9000/9001. Other duties include, but are not limited to, monthly cost/schedule reports, cash flows, work breakdown structures, and the preparation of various types of estimates.

Primary responsibilities have been the development, monitoring and control of engineering, procurement and construction schedules, cost control and estimating. During my over twenty years in the home office combined with eleven years in the field, I have developed a working knowledge of engineering and construction interface, material management, cost control, and estimating techniques. I have also acquired skills in the use of personal computers, supervision, client interaction, and quality assurance. Particularly, I am competent in the following PC Systems: Lotus-123, Lotus Approach, Microsoft Word/Access/Excel/Project, Dbase and Primavera (from inception thru current version).

Owner/Operator

In March of 2010, I started a business for the construction of small & medium sized construction related projects.

The premise for the business was to stay abreast of industry trends and keep my construction industry skills sharp and up to date in today’s market place. The scope of my business ranges from garage conversions, room additions/add-ons, concrete driveways, sidewalks, handicap access, painting, fence work, house trim work and architectural landscaping (including lawn sprinkler systems). I hope that this endeavor will allow me to return to a suitable position in the Oil & Gas Industry in the near future.

The scope of my duties include owner/operator/worker, bid development/presentation, actual cost to date, estimates to go, forecasting, cost control, planning/scheduling, analyzing trends, project work-around, financing, client consulting and customer service/safety. I make use of my Architectural Engineering training to supplement my Construction Industry experience/Oil & Gas expertise to stay abreast of my market skills.
