Project management/scheduling using Primavera and related software.
SUMMARY
Professional with a wide range of technical experience. I understand and communicate effectively with
engineers, administrators, and field personnel. My proven strengths include scheduling, client interface, internal
requirements coordination, design review, development, and operational analysis.
During my years in nuclear construction I achieved a high degree of competence and familiarity with ASME and
ANSI code requirements, was deeply involved with piping, I&C, structural supports, and equipment installation
& specifications, and was heavily involved with work package development, preparation and review. In the
course of scheduling oil refinery outages I have used Maximo to research and update equipment and work
package status.
