Manteca, Ca

• Oversaw all aspects of demolition and framing/drywall projects. Authored all construction documentation for both sales and operations including sales emails/flyers, purchase order documents, insurance documentation, subcontractor qualification, SOW documentation, job descriptions, budget analysis documents, safety documentation and efficiency documents. Completed all estimating for clients and scheduled project objectives to complete on-time and efficiently. • Project Management including managing subcontractors and on-site crews while meeting deadlines. • Contract negotiation and change orders with clients and subcontractors. • Managed billing and procurement.• Incorporated the use of field production software applications (project management software) to track work efficiency and problem resolution. This created a reduction in negative work-related issues (that would have reduced profits) by 15% in the first 2 years of implementation. • Developed budget sheets that tracked and calculated profits/losses as they were updated. Allowed management to head off potentially negative projects by finding solutions as issues arose and addressing them in the project plan.• Purchased equipment that increased efficiency on site and increased profits for that particular task (flooring demo) by 30%.• Made sure that crews and subcontractors followed safety program guidelines throughout the duration of the project.• Trained employees for supervision, maintenance and estimating roles.

Livermore, Ca

• Built strong rapport with clients by understanding needs and clearly explaining injection molded products. Helped resolve client problems quickly with superior customer service. Proactively managed client correspondence and recorded all tracking and communications (emails, faxes, phone calls and correspondence) to find clear ways to expand our production abilities with clients. Assisted in project management of new molding projects.• Implemented sales techniques to ensure new client acquisition increased. Found key contacts at potential client companies and used innovative approaches to introduce potential services.• Used production / accounting software system to make estimating more efficient. By detailing more data and information in every estimate, new projects ran more smoothly with less initial startup time required. Cost savings were related to the initial testing plus reduction in material requirements and savings each time the product was run.

Hayward, Ca

• Drafted and executed reorganization plan, training and development programs and expanded process improvements with regards to injection molded products. Recommended, implemented, and trained personnel on new production software that interfaced with sales, production, and machinery. Automated contact management system, resulting in better client organization and goal alignment. Maintained and expanded customer base. • Involved in project management from bringing new project in house, design assistance through the completion of initial sample runs and product implementation.• Co-authored the QA Manual for ISO 9000 compliance. Wrote extensive portions of the manual that allowed for production to run more efficiently and increased quantity of new jobs by 18% over 3 years based upon having the new quality standard in place.• Researched, purchased, implemented and trained employees on new ERP system for production, administrative and accounting. Chose a system that documented all production data via system inputs and machine interfaces. Overall operations waste (material mistakes and production overruns) were reduced by 13% in the first year. Lost labor from tooling that was not tracked properly was reduced by 5% in the first year also. Inventory was also more efficient.• Developed database that documented the complete tool setup and production startup process. Created detailed data entry forms and easily accessible printed forms that reduced startup costs and processing costs by at least 10% continuously.• Assisted in the selection and purchasing of large production equipment, 2nd operations equipment and tooling department equipment.• Researched and implemented process improvements for production machines.• Worked with client product engineers with regards to value engineering options to streamline tooling, manufacturing and second operations.
