Professional Employment History
Pulte Homes 2003 to 2009 Production Manager
• Completed five diverse communities for Pulte Homes including a variety of four story buildings with 32 to 40 family dwellings and two story carriage homes with 6 to 10 units per complex. Each unit was designed with specifications unique to each community such as elevators, exterior climate controlled breezeway, parking structures, amenities centers, pools, fitness centers, etc.
• Led the construction of three new projects. I worked closely with blueprints, architects, engineers and building inspectors to resolve any potential building issues prior to submitting for final permitting. The knowledge acquired during this process was incorporated into the final scope of work for subcontractors, vendors and building superintendents.
• Utilized my vast understanding of commercial construction when bringing structures out of the ground in order to successfully pass inspections. This requires a strong knowledge of plumbing, electrical, concrete and steel disciplines as it relates to the Florida State Building Codes.
• Trained nearly thirty superintendents, assistant superintendents, subcontractors and vendors to follow Pulte’s standard operating procedures. Many of the newly hired superintendents had little or no field construction experience therefore; I focused training on basic building fundamentals and time management. Additionally I monitored each superintendent’s daily quality and production output to ensure timelines were achieved.
• Enforced the compliance with OSHA regulations by conducting daily tool box meetings and weekly inspections. My diligence resulted in zero OHSA violations which eliminated construction site shut downs.

• Worked with different levels of state and city officials in order to establish a working relationship between Pulte and the different counties to facilitate meeting all Florida building codes. The strength of my work ethic and understanding of how to resolve issues gave the building officials the ability to pass inspections after the first request keeping my jobs on schedule.
• Diligently recorded every job change order, building delay due to plan discrepancies or subcontractor issues as well as weather delays to create an accurate history of each project. The information documented in these reports became valuable information as we proceeded to re-build similar projects with improved budgets, more accurate purchasing and stream-lined time schedules.
