Summary
I am a resourceful Project Manager with over a decade of expertise in the construction industry. Utilizing my proficiency in resource management and stakeholder communication, I lead team productivity and drive project schedule through goal setting, defined deadlines, active follow-up meetings, and clear, concise, communication. I possess exceptional time management skills, constantly creating lists, and continually re-prioritizing tasks to meet the needs of ever-changing projects. I understand the importance of cash-flow and financial management, ensuing that all my projects are cashflow positive throughout their duration. I have a comprehensive understanding of various contract types, understand the importance of managing contractual obligations, and avoid problematic contractual language which could add risk to a project. I diligently identify risks, working to remove or mitigate risks whenever possible. Beyond risk log tracking and identification, I have found that continually probing possible scenarios, asking questions, and pushing to understand the outcomes of construction decisions allows me to stay one step ahead of the project, predict outcomes, and avoid potential risk items as a project progresses. Focused Project Manager adept at planning, directing and maintaining continuous operations in various departments. Experienced in directing manufacturing employees and keeping efficient production in accordance with quality standards. Applying creative and analytical approach to operations for continuous process improvement. Skilled at identifying or anticipating problems and providing solutions. Excels through mentoring, training and empowering team to excel in performance.
