Construction Management

I over see a team of construction workers as well as track budget and chang orders in the residential construction field. I work directly with clients, architects, sub-contractors, and on site employees.

As an implementation project manager I work with our top 300 customers in the region to find efficiency solutions that we can provide for them. I am responsible for creating and adhering to timelines using Gantt charts as well as working within a budget. Currently our territory is Southern California, Arizona, Southern Nevada, as well as Southern Utah. A second component to my position is working with our retail stores to set them up and get their merchandising ready for customer service.

I worked as a P.M. for this construction company and was charged with overseeing the completion of multiple construction projects ranging from small tenant improvements to large ground up projects. I created schedules for sub-contractors as well as the employees within our company. I had to stay within budget to complete the project on time.
