Project Manager - Walbridge Industrial.

My duties include sales, estimating and project control. Walbridge is a self-perform construction Millwright Specialty contractor. I have estimated and managed equipment installations and overhead crane revamp projects in Iowa and Illinois. One of my project responsibilities was to provide Warehouse Management Services and equipment requisitions to the various onsite contractors for a $320 million-dollar expansion. With over 2500 pieces of equipment coming from several different countries, the need to track, coordinate delivery and inspect this equipment played a pivotal role to the project’s success. This task included coordinating the equipment loading at several of the nation’s largest docks and transporting the equipment to Davenport, Iowa. Offloading and staging the equipment and material in a manner that allowed the contractors to requisition when needed. I created the custom requisition form that was approved by the owner and contractors. After the bulk of the equipment had arrived and was installed this position with this client ended.
