Summary
With 18 years of professional skilled experience in construction, I have a strong background in maintenance, shutdowns, and new construction projects. As a lead worker, I am well-versed in troubleshooting, pipe fabrication, and overseeing major projects. My expertise extends to project maintenance, installation of piping and components in the field, as well as testing, pre-commissioning, and turnover of piping systems. As a Workface Planner, I have successfully closed out numerous piping, electrical, and civil IWP's for turnover. Building trust and reliability with clients is a priority for me. I am proficient in various programs such as McPlus, Bluebeam, Navisworks, IHawk, SPC, O3, Excel, Epic, Matman, Jovix, Coreworx, and IConstruct. Known for my commitment to excellence and ability to thrive in fast-paced environments, I am organized, efficient, dependable, and a skilled multitasker. Additionally, I possess strong problem-solving skills and excel as both a team player and leader. My experience allows me to effectively facilitate communication between tradespeople, engineers, construction teams, and management.
