Work Experience

Arseno Residential LLC (01/01/2005 Present) Owner

Kalamazoo, Michigan United States

Supervisor: NA 269-***-****; Contact:Yes

Salary: $45,000.00 per year (variable) 50+ hrs per week

Duties: I have been a self employed licensed general contractor for the past five years and have experience in

construction, maintenance, and property management. As a residential builder, I have experience in managing projects,

which includes the supervision of subcontractors, planning, scheduling, interpreting plans and specifications, adhering

to the local building authority, ensuring safety on the job site, inspecting workmanship, and ensuring client satisfaction. I

conduct design reviews and prepare civil portions of in house designs for repair and renovation projects. Perform

economic and feasibility analysis to identify the most cost efficient alternative for customers. Prepare, coordinate and

monitor modifications to plans. Participate in meetings with staff, customers, and user representatives. Experience with

Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD). As my company also responds to maintenance calls, I have experience in

mechanical systems which include plumbing, electrical, heating, and cooling. Additional responsibilities include

developing scopes of work, cost estimates, and change orders. Experience includes creating construction contracts,

obtaining construction permits, and communicating with building inspectors. Monitor the progress of construction

projects and inspect a variety of construction work from all trades. Monitor and inspect work involved in the repair,

maintenance, and alteration of structures. Assist investors in the assessment of real estate including all technical

systems and asset condition. Experience in financial management, problem resolution, and interpersonal

communications with tenants through property management services. Create monthly financial reports and progress

reports of real estate construction projects including anticipated delays. Served as local agent/property manager for

multiple out of state real estate investors.

Arseno Residential also contracted with AHS, American Home Shield, home warranty company for approximately 18

months. During this time I worked directly with a master plumber in numerous repair and maintenance calls. This

contract required trouble shooting, estimating, and repair or replacement of plumbing system components which

included gas/electric water heaters, water supply lines(copper and pex), waste water lines(PVC and cast iron), fixtures,

water softeners, and filtration systems. In addition to plumbing services, we also accepted heating and cooling service

calls which I worked directly with a licensed heating and cooling specialist.

Supervisor is no longer with company; Contact: No

Served as quality control technician. Responsible for on site testing and sample taking of concrete and asphalt. Job

duties included observing material trucks coming to site, checking trip tickets, time monitoring, and recording location of

material placement. Field tests included slump, air content, temperature, parameter calculations, and data entry. Lab

strength tests were conducted using a hydraulic press. Radioactive source instrumentation was used to monitor density

of onsite earth and asphalt.

Additional Information

TRAINING:

As a graduate of the civil program, I have been exposed to the following:

Civil and Construction Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and

maintenance of the physical and natural built environment. It is generally broken into several sub disciplines, which are

described below in alphabetical order.

Construction Engineering/Project Management involves planning and execution of the designs from engineers.

Construction management tends to take on a role that is more businesslike, to include: drafting, reviewing contracts,

evaluating logistical operations, and closely monitoring prices of supplies.

Environmental and Water Resource Engineering deals with the treatment of chemical, biological, and thermal waste, the

purification of water and air, and the remediation of contaminated sites, due to prior waste disposal or accidental

contamination. Environmental concerns in relation to groundwater have spawned a new area of study called geo

environmental engineering, where biology and chemistry are important.

Geotechnical Engineering is concerned with the rock and soil that civil engineering systems are supported by.

Knowledge from fields of geology, material science and testing, mechanics, and hydraulics are applied to safely and

economically design foundations, retaining walls, and similar structures.

Materials Engineering involves creating construction materials with broad applications, such as Portland Cement

Concrete, hot mix asphalt concrete, and metals such as aluminum and steel. Current research areas focus around

increased strength, durability, workability, and reduced cost.

Structural Engineering deals with the design of structural systems with the purpose of supporting and resisting various

loads. It can also play an essential role in designing machinery.

Transportation Engineering involves moving people and goods safely, efficiently, and in a manner conductive to a vibrant

community. It involves specifying, designing, constructing, and maintaining transportation infrastructure (streets, canals,

highways, rail systems, airports, and mass transit).

Real time Monitoring is monitoring and measuring environmental developments with technology and communications

systems that provide time relevant information to the public in an easily understood format.

Stress Analysis determines the stress in materials and structures subjected to static or dynamic forces or loads. It

involves determining the type of loads acting on a structure, ex. tension, compression, shear, torsion, bending, or a

combination of these.

Health Monitoring is a new approach to collect data about critical structural elements, using sensors to provide

indication when some anomalies are detected in a structure. It includes detection of changes in chemical and electrical

properties of materials related to deterioration, corrosion, fatigue, pH, humidity, and also physical properties, which

includes loadings, stresses, strains, cracks, etc.

Hands on training including geotechnical labs and traffic analysis at WMU. Soil laboratory expirements included

determination of water content, specific gravity of soil solids, particle size analysis (Hydrometer method), Atterberg

Limits, compaction test, sieve analysis, Harvard compaction test, flow nets, and California Bearing ratio test. Relevant

engineering problem solving from coursework as well as real world construction project/ management experience

gained through Arseno Residential.
