Project Manager Management

ALPHONSO HALL

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Engineering Manager with a master degree in Mechanical Engineering. Experienced in people and project management through directing the efforts of facility personnel, architects and contractors alike. Project management experience range within the manufacturing and industrial, university and city government and multi-family business sectors. Through previously working as a Senior Project Manager within manufacturing, as a business owner of a commercial construction company and now as an Engineering Manager for a major chemical manufacturing organization I feel that I possess a greater understanding of the importance of how people and processes are to interact to produce a desired product. Specific career interests are more focused on maintaining a senior level management position with possible growth potential.
