Resume:

J. Glenn Bedford, P.E. Bachelor of Civil Engineering

************@*****.*** Villanova University,

Villanova, Pennsylvania

** ***** **********

I have 35 years of proven leadership as the Project Director and Senior Project Manager on high end hospitality,

corporate office center, restaurant, and retail projects. I have successful experience an Owner’s representative and

manager, and as developer, construction manager, designer, and general contractor. I have successfully managed

both fee and at risk projects for construction management and general construction firms.

I am available to join or lead a management team. With project staff’s of up to twenty five project managers,

engineers, and field superintendents, I have managed the creation of capital budgets, milestone schedules, break

down the project into advance and trade scopes of work, and bid out and award the subcontracts. I work with the

trades and manage the project to avoid claims and delays. My leadership skills in all aspects of the construction

process allows me to bring together as partners, and manage, the Operations, Design, and Construction teams. This

blend of experience helps in the development and management of the Capital Improvement Program or Project with an

emphasis on the cost and schedule management necessary for a timely, successful program. I am a communicator

and team builder, and have been successful by providing accurate and realistic information to the team, and senior

management, so timely and educated decisions may be made.
