Experience & Major Projects
Project history across commercial GC work, design-build civil infrastructure, and a multi-billion-dollar federal program—including roles at AECOM Hunt, The Walsh Group, Bechtel, and Kelley Construction.
Issued bid documents, tailored front-end contracts, and closed descoping into the guaranteed maximum price. Led subcontracts up to $9 million and negotiated T&M, PCIs, CORs, and proposal requests.
Coordinated field design changes critical to the design-build tunnel and estimated change impacts to Walsh and subcontractor contracts. Reported production and project-control data and obtained building, MOT, and AHJ permits.
P6 and Microsoft Project scheduling support, submittals, man-hour and equipment tracking, and QC inspection plans.
Estimate and manage projects from preliminary budget through bidding, bid leveling, and final award. Calculate P&L and gross margin for executive review and identify drawing, specification, and constructability risks before bid.
Bid, negotiated, and value-engineered budgets and GMPs that met client financing goals and protected margin through buyout. Assigned projects finished profitable and under budget.
