7/13 – 8/23 - Infrastructure Technologies Inc. – 868 Church Street, Bohemia, NY 11756

Supervisor: Garth Rogers

Duties: I am responsible for the pricing of all of the cabling, networking and security infrastructure projects. 80% of ITI’s projects that I put together via excel spreadsheets is Networking projects, from New Network Equipment, rack and stack to just patching relocated desks. I would speak with our Technicians that are stationed at the sites full time to figure what materials and labor is needed to put the proper proposal together and getting it out to the client in a timely manner. The other aspect of the company is the Infrastructure projects I would receive large, medium and small bid packages with RFI’s and blueprints. I would thoroughly read through the RFI first and highlight all important aspects of the project as well as what solutions and manufacturer materials we will be bidding on. I would then usually attend a pre bid conference to go over any discrepancies on the project and do a site survey of the upcoming project. After the pre bid conference I would go through the blueprints and do all of the counts of the workstations and configurations. I would then go through all of the backbone cabling fiber, copper, coax, etc. for routes and lengths of the cabling. I would then go over all of the IDF and MDF room materials. (Racks, patch panels, ladder racking, fiber panels, voice blocks, etc.). Once I have all of my info I go over all of the cabling footages thoroughly. Once I have all off the information from the blueprints and the RFI I then would put an excel spreadsheets together for all of the materials that will be needed for the project and send it out to three different vendors to be priced up. Once I have the prices back from the vendors I would create a word document with a brief description of the project and the pricing for labor and materials on the project. After the project was awarded to us I would attend the initial construction meeting with my project manager and then hand the job over to him. I would then have a meeting in our office with my project manager and go over all of the materials, labor hours and job costing. I would then keep track of all material and labor hours for the project. After the job is complete I would put together all as-built drawings and test results to hand over to the customer.
