SUMMARY

As a Nuclear Mechanical Professional, I am experienced in nuclear mechanical projects from design, to acceptance for operability. I pride myself on my minute by minute efforts to control costs, yet create a positive challenging work environment, as well as building strong customer relationships that leave a happy customer made stronger in a competitive energy supply marketplace. Working in the union construction trades for more than twenty years in Welding/Pipefitting and HVAC/R and Nuclear industry, I have learned successful projects are accomplished thru hard work and determination, in addition to implementing the learned methods and proven controls required to manage a project to successful fiscal and functional completion. I pride myself on my own customer service and recognize it in other work groups. Several of my strengths include my ability to foresee the work associated with a project and schedule it. Working closely with all appropriate project work groups. Working closely with engineering in the early stages of the project ensuring improved design with in-depth constructability reviews. A design that saves time and man hours during the field construction activities of the project. Additional strengths would be negotiating with suppliers to help control costs on the project, ensuring tooling and materials are onsite and available for scheduled installation activities and control of project changes, with willingness to accept additional work to the project when it would be of added value to the customer. All while holding positive relationships as a required aspect of a successful project. All nuclear employment history 20 yrs+ is Exelon Nuclear contract and direct employment unless noted Thank You
