Skills Provided engineering, management and, contract expertise for both public and private entities. Many projects executed in a highly regulated environment these projects were delivered within budget and schedule. I have extensive planning, budgeting, scheduling and, field support experience during construction, PCO/RFI’s & startup. Met with Owner and outside authorities as the need arose. Unanticipated field conditions have been experienced but with only minor deviation from the estimate and schedule. Years of experience have provided a thorough knowledge federal & state standards and, facility maintenance. Software knowledge: MS Office & Project, SAP, P6, Scheduflow, McCormick Estimating and, moderate AutoCAD proficiency.
Project History, partial; additional history upon request.
Algae Systems Dec. 2013 – March 2017
Scope Produced a pilot plant for the startup company attempted production of biodiesel utilizing 100 acres of Gulf sea surface and ~20 acres of shoreline for facilities.
VC Funding $25 million, $15.5 allotted for the Prototype Plant
Duties Provided PM, Engineering, Facility^ expertise and, leadership to produce the Pilot Biodiesel Plant. I met with relevant officials to solve regulatory compliance issues.
Schedule/Cost Plant commissioned and Biofuel submitted for testing on schedule & budget 01/2016.
Commentary Efforts to increase capacity encountered public and regulatory issues. Defunded and preparing to shutdown.
Stanford Linear Accel. Ctr. Nov. 2009 – Nov. 2013
Scope Replace/Update power substations equipment & building, improved various processes, increased domestic water capacity, added process instrumentation, IT equipment (Servers, WAN/LAN/VoIP & server room environmental equipment), access gates for site security and, improved surrounding pedestrian/motorized access, interior/exterior lighting & landscaping.
DOE Funding $12 million
Duties Provided PM, Engineering and, Facility expertise interfaced with PowerPoint updates to all stakeholders. Led a team to develop the specifications for material, outside technical services, construction, Safety protocol, commissioning and, estimates & schedules.
Schedule/Cost Completed in 20 months as scheduled. $9.7 million total cost, 3% over the estimate.
Cost Overrun The discovery of a crushed underground Utility intended for reuse forced a re-design and additional construction costs.
Scope Demolish an existing 100,000 SFT building for the near future installation of a multistory 300,000 SFT building.
Budget $8.5 million
Duties Provided PM, Engineering and, Facility expertise interfaced with PowerPoint the updates to all stakeholders. Led a team to develop the specifications for material, outside technical services, construction, commissioning and, estimates & schedules, for the replacement and/or increase of the existing utilities capacity to meet the needs of the new building including pedestrian & ADA walkway, parking, lighting and, landscaping.
Schedule/Cost Plans, specifications and, drawings turned over to the General Contractor on schedule in April, 2013. Demolition accomplished within schedule. The overall project was within estimated cost.
Commentary A second PM and team working concurrently with my team installed the new building.
