Since 1989, I have had well rounded experience in many facets of construction that include highways and bridges, warehouses, mid to high rises, airport, hospital and waste treatment facility. My career began in Nigeria, shifted to United Kingdom and now continues in the United States. While I have primarily been a Superintendent, I have also worked as Project Manager and Pre-Construction Manager. I am a proud citizen of the United States of America.
WHY I SHOULD BE CONSIDERED:
• CONSTRUCTION EXPERTISE: Well rounded experience enables me to handle structural work, underground utilities, interiors and MEP with considerable competence.
• RESULTS ORIENTED: I have proposed accepted re-designs to underground utilities, life safety and MEP situations. My approach to issues is finding answers rather than waiting for them.
• VERSATILITY: I have the ability take on multiple responsibilities as Superintendent, Project Manager and Pre-Construction Manager. I have held the duel responsibilities of being the Superintendent and Project Manger on smaller project (less than $20 mill. In value).
• ATTENTION TO DETAILS AND LOOKING AHEAD: I have averted time delay and cost increase by finding design shortcomings and omissions long before they became problems. (Park at Turnberry Life safety Issues, Summit Brickell Underground Utilities Issues and many others).
• COMPUTER LITERACY: I have adequate computer literacy to perform my daily tasks efficiently. Besides the Microsoft Office applications, I have been trained on Microsoft Project and Primavera and have used Prolog extensively. I have also extensively used On-Screen-Take-Off for estimating.
