I served a few different roles as the client changed contractors for various reasons. I was mainly responsible for the Unit 3 Annex Structural Steel Erection & Equipment placement. I supported my team to ensure construction activities executed met the goals and objectives of the project design requirements and customer satisfaction. I worked hard to ensure that all assigned scopes were executed in a safe manner and within the defined schedule, quality and technical baselines. The grassroots project requires complex training to maintain strict guidelines for adherence to Nuclear Safety
& Quality. I constantly coordinated manpower; manpower training & equipment needs per the requirements of the resource-loaded schedule. My main responsibility was to keep employees properly trained and with the resources needed to keep them safe without injury. I was tasked as normal and wrote the Structural Steel Execution plan that explained how the structural steel would be erected and the interfaces of equipment installation through the erection activities. I also wrote the Safety Job Risk Analysis for all task, hazards and safety mitigation. My positions on this project are listed below.

PCL- Agrium Pot Ash Mine Upgrades /JV. Vault/ SNC Lavalin / PCL J.V. Saskatoon SK Canada
Outage General Superintendent
This project was a Joint Venture project partnered with SNC Lavalin and PCL. I was as assigned to the job to perform the construction execution planning of the design changes and upgrades for the Agrium Potash Mine Project including the areas of the head frame tower structural steel and hoist change. Responsible for coordinating work activities and schedule all craft trades working the head frame and the associated conveyor galleries including the 2012, 2013 & 2014 scheduled tie-in outages. I worked in the SNC Lavalin office in Toronto Canada to study and understand the full scope of the project including each outage scope of work and then was able to support design with input and constructability options and that would support the overall design and construction to support a cost effective and safe project. Wrote the execution plan and built the level 2 schedule for all three outages.
PCL & Kiewit, JV
CPS, JT Deely Unit 2 SCR Retrofit Project, San Antonio, TX General Superintendent
This was a great and challenging project. Our competitive bid approach was to use half of the existing Electrostatic Precipitator Support Steel and perform the Structural steel modifications & structural steel upgrades to mitigate the demolition of the complete structure. Which would have created additional cost and risk of the underground utilities that supported other Units. I was assigned to the Kiewit office for six months and Interfaced with Babcock & Wilcox to help with constructability and design of the flue gas duct connections and support steel. This approach was the concept that won the award for the competitive bid and prepared it to be a successful project. Responsible for the construction execution of a B&W design SCR for the 550 MW Coal Burner Unit systems included structural steel modifications to existing steel, erection of 1000 plus tons structural steel, 1100 tons of SCR duct, damper installation, ammonia injection system and all supporting equipment, mechanical piping, electrical duct banks and civil activities. Before arriving onsite, I came up with the concept to have the large sectional duct fabricated offsite that reduced the safety risk for onsite fabrication and this concept was supported by my management team. This concept proved to be very cost effective for the project. These concepts among others with the support of the team, helped make this a very successful project.
