Project Manager, Estimator 08/2000 to 03/2020
WC Construction / Flex Build LLC Merriam, KS
I was the first employee of WC Construction, a new startup company, when I was hired. I was initially hired as a Project Manager/Estimator, but with the new company, I was asked to fill any needed role. This included overseeing local and out-of-state projects as general superintendent, as well as general carpentry work. As an estimator and Project Manager, my responsibilities would begin once a project was received for bidding. I was responsible for providing a comprehensive estimate for submission to the owner for review. Once a project was awarded, it would then be my responsibility to get the project completed from start to finish and on schedule. At the time of the COVID shutdown, Flex Build's only work was with Restaurants and Nursing homes, which were completely shut down.
