Led the construction of this 150MW solar project, coordinating scope, schedule, and budgets through ProCore and MS Project.Developed and implemented RFI and QAQC protocols across disciplines to reduce snagging and punch list completion times for grid and data center interconnection while working to build client engagement.Schedule and Budget management, resulting in projected profit of more than 24% on the $36M project even though Permitting Issues delaied project start by more than 3 months.Spearheaded procurement cost reduction strategies, an example of which being to rent mobile screening equipment instead of importing sand. Total costs savings achieved over multiple strategies in excuss of $200,000. Led subcontractor negotiations to align with revised material sourcing plans, ensuring seamless project execution to a constantly changing the project timeline.

I am truly humbled that the site team at Letts Creek asked I step into the role of Site/Construction Manager. At that time, little did I know this would lead to my leading the process to close all 3 Michigan projects simultaneously. Learning from the fire hydrant of knowledge for sure!The msnaging of these concurrent large-scale solar projects, while successfully exceeding milestones such as securing first-time AHJ inspection approvals, or facilitating timely client handovers and project closeout was only possible by teamwork.This i cluded reducing punch list completion times by 40% for grid and data center interconnection through innovative QAQC and RFI strategies while building engaged client/contractor relationships.Developing and implementing pre-planning risk mitigation strategies to eliminate material delays and enforced safety protocols were of great benefit in achieving a spotless record of zero Lost Time Incidents.PV interconnection testing and commissioning, ensured successful handovers within strict timelines.

Initially hired for my Michigan Masters license, however very quickly I saw there were many areas that needed oversight for project success.Such tasks included successfully gaining approvals for temporary power interconnection for all 3 Michigan projects, negotiations with subcontractors to support projects needs & also to ensure contract compliance. Material selection & procurement (supporting Borrego to find local vendors to improve supply response times), while also acting as trainer mentor & coach for staff roles ranging from Safety Manager, Assistant Site Manager, Field Quality Manager & Senior Site Admin.
