OBJECTIVE:
I am seeking a position with full benefits with a top company. I offer 30 plus years of experience in the construction trades as a ICBO Building Inspector, Company Owner, Contractor, Estimator, Corporate Quality Control Manager, and Project Manager.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT/CORPORATE QUALITY CONTROL
I have successfully managed and completed hundreds of multi-million dollar projects for Allright Construction, Inc., Allright Diversified, Inc., General Electric Corp. (Modular Space Division), Mauldin-Dorfmeier Construction, Inc., and Braun Electric, Roper IBG; Thor Electric.
All projects were successfully completed on time or before the designated completion date for a completion bonus. Most projects included significant change order up-charges in addition to the original contract amount. Construction Projects included Army Corps of Engineers Projects; Federal Military Installation Projects; Veterans Administration Projects; various projects in numerous Counties across California for Police, Sheriffs, and Fire Departments; various projects in numerous Cities and Municipalities for Police and Fire Departments; and other private construction projects.
In addition to heavy civil and government construction projects I also successfully completed and managed ex-patriot electrical construction and service and national training for: J Ray McDermott Corp.; OPI; and OSTI. All of these companies contracted with Chevron Oil in Nigeria for Construction, Repair and Service as well as National Electrical Training for Offshore Oil Exploration, Drilling and Production. I successfully trained and supervised teams of Nationals as well as an Ex-Patriot team of Electricians on numerous Exploration, Drilling and Production Platforms. These teams were responsible for all electrical production and maintenance for Turbines, Generators and Motors as well as the lower voltage electrical to run lights, stoves, etc.
BUILDING INSPECTOR/SPECIAL INSPECTOR
2001 to present I hold an ICBO/ICC Building Inspector Certification.
Since 1998 I have served as a special inspector for compaction, construction, steal, rebar, anchors, concrete, masonry, grounding systems, sample and testing of soil, aggregate.
As an inspector I have served as a special inspector for all of the projects with Allright Construction, Inc., Allright Diversified, Inc., General Electric Corp and Krazan and Associates. Being a Certified Building Inspection gave added credibility to all the companies that I worked for and enabled said companies to eliminate extra costs that would have been incurred while contracting for outside inspection service.
