WORK Experience
Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems
Project Manager/Facilities Engineer 10/05-08/08
Lead the Design and Construction effort for cutting edge Spherical Near-
field Range and Radar Test Chamber. Initiated and Supervised CFD airflow
analysis for critical cooling of Chamber anechoic material. Initiated and
Supervised Ground Penetrating Radar sweep to locate undocumented
obstructing subsurface utilities in construction area. Managed Yellow Room
Lab Remediation and Restoration Project. Completed Facility Construction
estimate to restore Lab to functioning for Raytheon Insurance Dept.
Coordinated with Raytheon Environmental Health and Safety Dept., as well as
Remediation and Disposal companies to mitigate environmental hazards and
safely dispose of waste. Successfully Completed Project to Relocate Radar
Test Lab 9M08. Successfully completed projects to erect emergency cell
tower and install subsurface fiber optic communications conduits. Proposed
Six Sigma Projects to upgrade to Timberline Facilities Construction
Estimating System with on Screen take-off, and CAD System to Autodesk Revit
MEP for better design and documentation.
LIMBACH FACILITY SERVICES
Project Estimator 9/04- 6/05
Take off of detailed HVAC systems design drawings using a proprietary
digitizing system. Make the output intelligible; break the project down
into sections that are relevant to the way in which the work will actually
progress in the field. Enter equipment and sub contractor costs along with
computer system exceptions into an electronic spreadsheet for the final
estimate and review. Write proposals that state the scope of work as
detailed on the design drawings and specifications, and provide
qualifications and exclusions, which make clear to the buyer what the scope
of work is.
