OBJECTIVE:
I am seeking a position with full benefits with a top company. I offer 30
plus years of experience in the construction trades as a ICBO Building
Inspector, Company Owner, Contractor, Estimator, Corporate Quality Control
Manager, and Project Manager.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT/CORPORATE QUALITY CONTROL
I have successfully managed and completed multi-million dollar solar
projects for Sun Edison at various California Correctional Institutions.
While on-site I also served as the Corporate Quality Control and Safety
Officer.
I have successfully managed and completed hundreds of multi-million dollar
projects for Allright Construction, Inc., Allright Diversified, Inc.,
General Electric Corp. (Modular Space Division), Mauldin-Dorfmeier
Construction, Inc., and Braun Electric, Roper IBG; Thor Electric.
All projects were successfully completed on time or before the designated
completion date for a completion bonus. Most projects included significant
change order up-charges in addition to the original contract amount.
Construction Projects included Army Corps of Engineers Projects; Federal
Military Installation Projects; Veterans Administration Projects; various
projects in numerous Counties across California for Police, Sheriffs, and
Fire Departments; various projects in numerous Cities and Municipalities
for Police and Fire Departments; and other private construction projects.
In addition to heavy civil and government construction projects I also
successfully completed and managed ex-patriot electrical construction and
service and national training for: J Ray McDermott Corp.; OPI; and OSTI.
All of these companies contracted with Chevron Oil in Nigeria for
Construction, Repair and Service as well as National Electrical Training
for Offshore Oil Exploration, Drilling and Production. I successfully
trained and supervised teams of Nationals as well as an Ex-Patriot team of
Electricians on numerous Exploration, Drilling and Production Platforms.
These teams were responsible for all electrical production and maintenance
for Turbines, Generators and Motors as well as the lower voltage electrical

BUILDING INSPECTOR/SPECIAL INSPECTOR
2001 to present I hold an ICBO/ICC Building Inspector Certification.

sample and testing of soil, aggregate.
As an inspector I have served as a special inspector for all of the

worked for and enabled said companies to eliminate extra costs that would
have been incurred while contracting for outside inspection service.
