Objective
To further my career in the construction and or industrial sectors as these areas have been
my personal expertise for most of my years in the work arena. I wish to continue in the
project controls area as I feel it more challenging and rewarding.
Summary
Thirteen years experience in the construction, operation and maintenance of coal fired
and nuclear powered power plants across Georgia, Texas, Kentucky, South Carolina and
the Gulf of Florida. My southern Company experiences include the following: Plant
construction, sub station construction, and maintenance. Industrial areas include Project
Controls (planning, scheduling, cost tracking) and Field Supervision for medium to large
turnkey projects, plant modifications and outages.
Ten years experience in construction project management within the commercial and
industrial field. My project management experience ranges from three hundred ten
thousand to five hundred million. At the site superintendent level I can successfully take
a project from breaking ground to completion. My total experience revolves around three
major areas: Medical facilities, Hotels, Industrial Power Stations, and Petro-Chemical
Plants. Software includes Primavera P3, P3e, P6, SAP, Microsoft Project 2007 and
Microsoft Office applications including PowerPoint.
