Summary of Qualifications:
Currently I am the Director of Sales & Estimating, and Chief Estimator for a system built modular company specializing in multi-family, mixed used, light commercial projects. I am responsible for Directing and overseeing activities relating to contracts, bids, and estimation of the cost of labor and materials for projects, products, or services to obtain optimum efficiency and economy of operations and to maximize profits. I plan, develop, direct, establish, and implement organization policies, procedures, and objectives in accordance with the objectives of the organization through subordinate administrative personnel. I report directly to the President and the CEO of the company and I have sales, purchasing, and CAD/CAM managers reporting to me daily. On top of the daily operations I analyze and approve department budgets and requests to identify areas in which reductions can be made, and allocate operating budgets. I review and oversee all estimating activity, operating, and sales reports to determine changes needing to be made in cost estimates. I recommend change in policy to serve in the best interest of the organization. My production and construction experience ranges from multi-family, mixed-use, hotel, high end residential, commercial and school construction, to include over 15 years in the construction industry, the last two being devoted strictly to the system built modular industry. I am proficient with all Microsoft office suite programs, chief architect CAD software, QuickBooks, and many other various software programs from digital take-off to master builder. I have a consistent track record of performance on projects assuring accuracy, profitability, accelerated schedules, quality, creativity, forward thinking and workmanship well above expectations, as well as strong written and verb communication skills.
Professional Experience:
Sierra Management Group, LLC July 2009 to Present
Principle / Director of Sales & Estimating
I developed the Sierra Management Group to aid developers, architects, private owners and contractors alike with their efficiency and process flow as it pertains specifically to the sales and estimating / project management. I work directly with executive and upper level management teams to bridge the gap between their sales, job costing, estimating, project management and operations whether they be site built construction or manufacturing modular construction. In my 15 plus years in the construction industry I have always noticed a failure or glitch in process flow from the conception of a project at the design or pre-design stages through the operations and completion of the clients’ project. I have developed a flow to bridge the communication and knowledge gap between these departments in turn giving the client the results they desire and the communication and efficiency which generates greater profit margins. As Sierra Management I have helped clients with physical carpentry and engineering issues to complete turnkey project management, from design through occupancy.
Transform, LLC March 2007 to July 2009
Director of Sales & Estimating
My daily tasks include overseeing the Estimating, and Sales department making sure the bid documents, contract documents and proposal preparations are complete and accurate and most important profitable. Assist the Sales and procurement staff with current and future projects, aid in the design drafting, and production process for all projects awarded. It is critical that I bring strong communication and organization skills to the table daily as I am tasked with bringing all the department heads information together to organize and deliver our clients a complete turn-key package for their project. In my experience the largest breakdown in the process of a site built client wanting to go modular is the lack of understanding what is included in the modular scope and what is left to be done onsite by their General Contractor. I bring numerous years of practical hands on site built construction experience and management and combine that with the practical hands on management and modular production experience to educate new clients, design and engineering teams, and contractors aiding them in the process from concept through completion.
