Project Manager
Successfully led multi-million dollar capital infrastructure improvement projects. As a project manager I justified and gained approval for capital projects, developed cost estimates, developed implementation plans, ensured projects were safely executed, on schedule and within budget. I hired and oversaw engineering firms and construction contractors, and I procured facility/utility equipment for installation I routinely worked with project teams to project implementation problems related to logistics, procurement, project scope, project budget, safety, regulatory, and engineering. Key projects included the modernization of Abbott's corporate headquarters reception building and its multi-use cafeteria, upgrades of hangers for corporate aircraft, construction of building/facilities for new diagnostic manufacturing and laboratories, and replacement of utility (e.g. water and steam) piping systems that served multiple buildings and operational divisions at Abbott's, Abbott Park campus.
