Larry W. Hersey
CONSTRUCTION MANAGER / ON-SITE PROJECT MANAGER
Experienced working on the NASA Kennedy Space Center Facilities Construction
Engineering Projects for the Joint Base Operational Services Contract-JBOSC and
Institutional Services Contracts-ISC in multiple disciplines, trades and
systems. The programs in which these projects directly supported is coming into
a transitional period as NASA heads in a new direction with the end of the
Shuttle program and Constellation cancellation; and this provides me with an
opportunity to extend my options outside of NASA, KSC and Florida. I am willing
to relocate out of state and I am open to travel both domestically and abroad.
I look forward to new experiences, new people and new learning opportunities.
