AECOM January 2008 - Present

Taji Iraq;

Responsibilities:

Designed, implemented and monitored the progress and subsequent development of the Taji International Track & Wheel Deport. This was a comprehensive project in excess of $350 Million dollars, a one of a kind countrywide facility, with hundreds of individual “moving parts” and over thirty (30) separate projects and operations occurring simultaneously I tracked the daily development and subsequent delays with each project. In concert with this I preformed the following:

• Provided an initial assessment of resources necessary to monitor the various projects;

• Developed protocol procedures that identified systematic issues of importance. These were subsequently adopted by the client;

• Hired and trained support personnel, sufficient to coordinate daily activity;

• Developed Gantt charts corresponding with Earned Value Analysis;

• Provided separate (individual portfolio) charts on all projects. To include charting mechanisms, value analysis, progress pictures and delays, incident reports, change orders, etc. This portfolio report developed into, and adopted as the standard Project Management Operational PMO weekly report;

• Developed CADD technical applications, incorporating 3D models of the project(s) status. This basically provided a visual illustration to the government, affording them the opportunity to track the project visually, as well as on paper;

• Developed a standard application approach for identifying constraints that “triggered” delays;

• I was the lead liaison with the client, making presentations, explaining concepts and principals, and supervising a staff of (7) to (10) support planners
