sloped to drain to the stainless steel trenches that we installed to
capture any acid spills/leaks that could occur. I managed a crew of Zachry

of payroll issues, day-to-day problems, and handled all paperwork
concerning quality documents. Reviewed applicants and interviewed
potential employees along with selecting and approving qualified applicants

procurements, scheduling, and coordination. I accepted the role as the
Turnover Coordinator as we progressed through the rollover to the plant
personnel and client representatives. In the absence of the Project
Manager, I completed the demobilization and closeout of the project. I set
up and managed the personnel office for the first two months by taking
applications, guiding potential employees through the hiring process in

to install post outage. I was hired to assist in the management of a lump
sum contract. I assisted the Project Manager in his duties which included
subcontracts, engineering changes, schedules, cost, change orders, and

schedule and cost tracking system during pre-outage activities. I was then
asked to take over site management throughout the remainder of the contract

of the project. Reviewed applicants and interviewed potential employees
