Loveland Electric, General Superintendent 3/2019 – 9/2020
Seminole Tribe of Florida, WWTP
Wastewater Treatment plants - instrumentation, control and power are very complex.
I took over this plant when it was 1/2 complete and had to come up to speed in record time. To do this I used unique advanced technology on drawings, submittals and specifications. Where it would normally take months to understand a project like this, I was able to be adept in days and expert level in 2 weeks. It’s a method I perfected in my buildings in order to run unlimited projects at once.
I advanced multiple other innovations in order to better organize the project.
