(3) Hanson Professional Services Inc., (Contract Role) May 2017 – Aug 2017

720 N. Maitland Ave., Ste. 102, Maitland, FL

Commissioning Specialist,

Hanson, an engineering firm specializing in the planning, design, Construction, and Commissioning of commercial, federal, and military projects,

Worked as a consultant for Commissioning expertise for the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO), Department of State, and U.S. Embassy projects.

1.My task was to provide a smooth transition during the field commission phase of the first Karachi, Pakistan Embassy project, which by nature is significantly different from standard commercial work usually performed by the local team of CX-A personnel,

2.My task was to familiarize the commissioning team with the newly awarded DOE and OBO Contract projects. As this was the company’s first commissioning project working for the OBO, which is significantly different and more involved than the company’s long history of commercial projects,

3.I collaborated with the company’s CX-A team, familiarizing them with the upcoming OBO Commissioning works to introduce them to the OBO’s way of doing business.

Period of unemployment Jan 2017 – Apr 2017

(4) Amec Foster Wheeler Oct 2016 – Jan 2017

Senior 1 Construction Manager (Contract Role),

Clean Energy, AMEASE, 1075 Big Shanty Road, Suite 100, Kennesaw, GA 30144

Federal Contractor under U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE), Poland MDA Resident Office, European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA), Phase III Construction Contract, Aegis Ashore, Redzikowo, Poland.

1.Managed the Construction of a critical, time-sensitive utility support area to include the site’s Water Supply Building (WSB) and Fire System site water central systems per the following:

2.Initially called upon to help streamline the Project’s submittal review and approval process. I discovered it was a manual process of manually implementing spreadsheets coordinated through standard spreadsheets. It was a process not up to the disposing of six hundred test submittals, which needed to be revision. There was no way to improve this process as it depended upon two or three key personnel involved in the early stage of its setup, with their knowledge not written down.

3.I made my recommendations to the upper management for a cloud-based document control process set up for distribution to the various parties associated with the online project review implemented,

4.I then moved on to manage a critical Water Supply Building construction. The two major systems (firewater and potable water treatment) supply to the site’s water fire loops and water supply are the functions of this building, which was well behind the project schedule.

5.I made a Project Control analysis of the existing schedule. I discovered Scope Gaps needed to address delays in its Construction due to current contractors’ materials and lack of scope. As this was the case, the local Polish contractors had taken exception to their work statements on several critical subsystems as the building’s internal MEP works. They bid only to supply the underground utilities and the civil works of the building. I did my Review and provided my report to the upper management.

6.Note that my full-time employee role changed to that of a consultant one for the following reasons:

a.Discovered multiple Scope Gaps associated with this building’s construction schedule, which contributed significantly to the Site Water Supply Building (WSB) that was way behind the existing Project’s schedule,

b.Identified Design Gaps or lack of calculations for the MEP Systems such that the procurement of these systems was flawed due to suppliers taking exception of several vital components unquantified for capacity and left out of the supplier proposals,

c.Identified the exceptions the principal civil subcontractor took for installing the MEP equipment. They bid only to supply the underground site utilities and the building itself,

d.I identified that the Government’s outside A&E firm delivered a Drawing package with “Scope Gaps” for the overall design. The HVAC/MEP systems did not have the” Builder’s Work,” Civil Engineering Drawings showing the “Block-Outs” to allow the Building’s MEP penetrations reserved that would eliminate later the need for expensive and time-consuming “Core Drilling” at the time of installation,

e.Identified to the Contracting Officer (CO) The main Contractor to exceptions in providing needed HVAC/MEP equipment systems to provide a complete and workable water filtration system in their MEP equipment proposals,

f.Due to a lack of engineering calculations to fully develop the water purification equipment and fire pump capacity, the bidding supplier’s submittal indicated that they all took exceptions for various parts of the water WSB internal MEP procurement specification equipment. They did not provide onsite training or startup for the equipment, either. I pointed this out to the onsite procurement lead as a part of my formal Review that went out to the suppliers,

g.I provided a detailed field report to the Contracting Officer explaining where the contractor bid to exceptions to the contract in areas that created scope gaps that would require change orders cost several thousands of dollars.,

h.Based on my above review comments identifying the extensive amount of additional work required, management decided to form a new exclusive subcontracted, outside consultant team of six engineers to address the above design and scope gaps concerns,

i.Thus, because I still did not have a work VISA, the company decided I needed to transition all my responsibilities to a subcontracted “Tiger Team” of engineers to manage the WSB building issues, which could hit the ground running with Polish Visas in hand -Thus, my Contract Role was cut short.

1.Upon arrival, it was an apartment where the embassy HVAC/MEP equipment was not ready for final Commissioning by the Contractor CX-R. Provided a conforming and maintainable commissioning program utilizing “Primavera Project Planner P6” (instead of M.S. Excel manual, existing static schedule) with a “Hands-On” troubleshooter approach to conform to the Head Office expectations,

2.Approve all related company parties’ worked procedures and instruct the various parties in the program engineers agreed-upon Government Commissioning submittal process associated with the commissioning activities related to required pre-functional checks (PFC) and Function Performance Testing (FPT) startup documentation for a coordinated approach to meet the Project Director’s approval,

8.Provided on short notice an engineering survey of fifty (50) percent of Two hundred (200) HVAC systems VAV boxes detailing their non-conforming installation. My technical study prevented them from requiring correction late in the Project after discovery by the Washington inspectors, causing a delay in the beneficial occupancy of the building,

9.Collaborated with the contractor’s shop drawings submittal to convert their native AutoCAD drawings files into coordination drawings for ease of checking by our engineering team, which was not a standard OBO practice.
