Project Controls Engineer

Summary

I am an innovative problem solver who has consistently performed above my managers’ expectations and progressively taken on positions with increasing levels of responsibility. My experience includes both conceptual and detailed engineering design, as well as project controls, both from the perspective of the contractor and of the owner. In my work, I have performed tasks such as scheduling, budget forecasting, civil design, cost estimating, utility coordination, plan review, technical writing and general engineering assignments on varying disciplines. I have worked on multiple overseas projects and developed creative solutions to problems created by adverse working conditions.

Experience

• Libya Housing & Infrastructure Program, Tripoli, Libya (AECOM: 2009 – 2010)

I have worked as a Project Controls Engineer for AECOM Libya since 2009 on a $27B program management assignment. During the one year assignment, I trained regional Project Controls staff and directed their efforts from the main office, as well as developed contractor schedule review standards and templates. I maintained the program master schedule and developed monthly program status reports for use by the client. I was also called upon to forecast program cash flow requirements. I was commended by my manager for my innovation and the quality of my work.

• Empire Grade Separation, Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), Burbank, California (AECOM: 2009)

I was responsible for track design of a $100 million passenger and freight rail track realignment. I oversaw the design of construction phasing concepts for tracks to be built adjacent to an in-service mainline. I performed necessary design calculations and developed models of track and retaining wall alignments and profiles in MicroStation. I supported the project manager in the presentation of the alignment design to the client.

• Port of Houston Railroad Crossing Rehabilitation, Houston, Texas (JM Engineering: 2008)

I performed the design tasks for the rehabilitation of a heavily trafficked railroad-street crossing within the Port’s primary security gate. I managed electrical engineering sub-consultants and CAD designers. I developed and maintained design and construction schedules, as well as construction cost estimates. The design was completed successfully on time within the very short four week schedule allotted by the client.

• KCS Victoria Line Construction Scheduling, Houston, Texas (JM Engineering: 2008)

I developed the master schedule to support a 100-mile rail line, of new construction, from Wharton, TX to Victoria, TX including 48 bridges, 110 highway crossings, and 100 track miles. I generated a 1500 line schedule to control an in-progress project, with multiple contractors, which had not been previously scheduled. Each contractor had varying work calendars and production rates, which I used to calculate appropriate activity durations and resource assignments. Project value was approximately $120M.

• Jamalco (Alcoa) Hurricane Dean Emergency Port Restoration, Jamaica (JM Engineering: 2007)

I responded to a request by the client to work on-site in Jamaica to rebuild a product conveyor, pipelines, a railroad, and a causeway destroyed by Hurricane Dean in August 2007. I developed the project master schedule concurrent with construction activities. Approximately 600 activities were loaded into the schedule in the first three weeks. I used input from project managers to develop the WBS, OBS, and key milestones. I performed all necessary calculations to determine required task durations based on the fixed completion date, as calculated by volume of alternative temporary product storage.

• Alcoa North Manchester Mine Project, Jamaica (JM Engineering: 2007)

I developed the master schedule and monthly cost and budget reports for an EPCM mine railroad job in Clarendon, Jamaica. I used Primavera P5 to load resources and unit costs, create and manage project milestones, determine project duration, control actual versus budgeted cost, and create monthly progress reports for submittal to the client.
