Over 13 years experience estimating and managing projects for both engineering and construction firms in the petrochemical and refinery industry for various facilities located throughout the Country.
Primary duties were to estimate, plan, direct, oversee, coordinate and budget assigned construction projects in order to effectively utilize resources to meet client budget and scheduling requirements. Negotiated contract revisions, changes and additions, also reviewed purchase orders, material and equipment requisitions. Tracked multiple project cost expenditures and productivity. Prepared detailed cost and man-hour estimates, developed project proposals and forecasted manpower per project and presented reports of complete project status for evaluation to senior management.
In addition to my estimating background, I am also heavily experienced in multiple 3D design modeling programs including Bentley AutoPLANT 3D, NavisWorks Viewer 3D, (PlantVIEW 3D) Rebis Explorer and LFM Server 3D (Laser Scan software). Designed multiple 3D mechanical, piping, structural steel and equipment layout plans. Also generated both fabrication and demolition drawings for various project expansions and replacements for various clients around the world.
