I have ten years of proven experience working in the construction industry with strong emphasis on expense control, cost savings and profitability. I believe the key to being successful in construction is utilizing certain skills to include problem solving, being innovative, meeting client expectations, achieving business expectations, supporting company policies and promoting employee development. As a team member of a 750-megawatt coal fired power plant for the previous two and a half years I have used my expertise in supporting many Superintendents and their crafts to include millwrights, civil, insulation and paint. In this role I have been able to ensure all aspects of their expectations are met with regard to company profitability and cost savings. I am able to work in tandem with Contractors, Sub-contractors, Employee's, General Foreman and the Engineering Team to ensure all contractor work is in accordance with contract specifications and is beneficial and profitable to job site and owner satisfaction.
