& switch-gear rooms. I've overseen the installation of electrical service
infrastructure. My design efforts include reinforced concrete structures,
steel structures and analysis of structural stability for evaluation and
recommendation. Design Management includes review of design documents for
constructability, planning and scheduling. Construction oversight includes
concurrent management of site work, closing a total of more than 230
