EMPLOYMENT

OBJECTIVE: Project Management Position in which I can utilize and expand upon the skills

I’ve developed during twenty years in construction.

National Top 10 Real Estate Developer & Design-Build General Contractor. Scope of work

included direct oversight of the design and the construction of all Greater Sacramento Area

Office, Retail & Industrial development projects. Duties included conceptual land planning, pre-

project due diligence, coordination of geotechnical, environmental, biological & design

consultants, project entitlements, preliminary budgeting, site & building design coordination,

permitting, owner/contractor contract negotiation, subcontract buy-out & construction oversight.

Worked directly with owners, tenants & local jurisdictions to assure that all projects were

designed & completed in accordance with quality, budget and schedule requirements.

Responsibilities also included the management of a staff of up to fifteen project managers,

superintendents and administrative assistants. A key requirement of the position was the ability to

manage, motivate and oversee the development of the project management team and the

individual team members.

EXPERIENCE

to public infrastructure projects (interchanges, sewer lift stations, storm water pump

stations/detention ponds, etc.), has completed nearly five million square feet of retail, office and

industrial development projects in Northern CA including oversight of construction projects

totaling in excess of $100 million in 2008. Extensive work with state agencies and local

jurisdictions to gain entitlements and permit approvals. Can lead a team of project managers and
