Industry Pain PointHis Response
Schedule slips & blown budgetsDelivered capital & maintenance projects on time / within budget across chemicals (Cabot, Henkel, Worley), petrochem, and power; rigorous CAPEX/OPEX control, forecasting, and earned-value progress reporting.
Greenfield complexity & startup riskLed greenfield civil/foundation build at Forgen; 560 MW Carlsbad Energy Center (NRG) support from construction through permitting, water systems, simulator data, and QA/QC handoffs.
EPC coordination & change controlOrchestrated MOC governance (Shell) and RFI/submittal workflows; drove multidisciplinary alignment among engineering, construction, QC, and operations to reduce rework and delays.
Regulatory, safety & complianceOSHA-driven site practices; partnered with environmental, city/county/state authorities (NRG) to secure permits/approvals; TWIC-cleared; safety-first planning and method statements.
Scope creep & poor documentationBuilds clear scopes, WBS, and functional specs; maintains as-built documentation, lessons learned, and turnover packages; strong change management to protect cost & schedule.
Vendor/supplier delaysExpedites long-lead items, validates submittals, and tracks delivery status; experience across heavy equipment, piping, and specialty systems; resolves field issues with rapid engineering support.
Fragmented communications (multi-site, multi-lingual)Four languages and seasoned stakeholder manager; drives consensus with trades, EPC partners, and client leadership; translates technical risks into actionable plans.
Tooling & reporting gapsAdvanced user of Primavera P6, MS Project, Procore, SharePoint, Bluebeam, AutoCAD/SolidWorks; produces KPI dashboards (cost, schedule, quality, safety) for executive visibility.
