While at JB Pacific, I had the opportunity to work on a variety of project types and was trusted to take on more and more responsibility very quickly. Starting as a Sr. Project Engineer on a $15 million TI for my first project, I was managing the day-to-day coordination and documentation efforts between parties. Quickly, I was entrusted with project financials (change orders, budget management, and forecasts) with oversight from my project manager. On my following 3 projects, although smaller TI's, I was given the responsibility of Project Manager with the oversight of my Project Executive (Grant Davis) and/or Principle (Jay Ingram) as needed. The following is a brief description of my experience:I delivered multiple complex lab/office tenant improvement projects on-time and within budget, led cross-functional teams (subcontractors, laborers, superintendents, pre-construction team) throughout the project lifecycle (initial design, scope development, construction, completion, handover), and cultivated strong relationships with stakeholders consistently exceeding expectations.As a lab construction specialist, I facilitated pre-construction and construction for JB Pacific and subcontractors, leveraged project finance, building expertise, and scheduling skills to collaborate with stakeholders (architects, engineers, clients, owners) and proactively addressed design-build challenges/changes, and provided scheduled formal and informal updates to ensure clear communication and project alignment.I managed contract administration and project documents, ensuring pre-construction compliance (contracts, drawings, specs.) and post-construction closeout accuracy (submittal packages, As-Built documents).I managed project financials, encompassing pre-construction budget development, course-of-construction budget management and forecasting, and variance analysis at project closeout. This included subcontractor change orders, owner changes, and prime contract modifications.

Working under Rob Grosz (President, PE), and Hugo Escobedo (PE) has proven to be a tremendous opportunity for my engineering knowledge, and has allowed my abilities to flourish. CEG continues to support me in my ambitions to learn and grow a deeper knowledge of the industry.As Design Engineer I have been tasked with preparing reports, precast/ prestressed product designs, and checking shop ticket and erection drawings (via AutoCAD, REVIT, and SolidWorks). I am also currently responsible for performing design calculations for various precast/ prestressed structural member designs to withstand different load cases and stresses. Determining the appropriate construction materials to be used during production. I have also been able to develop a keen understanding of codes and standards such as: IBC, ASCE, ACI, AISC, etc.In addition to design, I manage the day-to-day coordination efforts and schedules between clients and my internal team of drafters, modelers, and engineers. Liaise with clients, architects, and contractors for successful procurement key project information. Interpret contract documents and shop drawings for the accurate coordination between team engineers and drafters/ modelers. Plus I regularly lead coordination meetings internally and externally to facilitate assurance that project deadlines are being met.

In my time alongside Rob Grosz (President, PE) and Hugo Escobedo (VP, PE) I have been able to grow my experience and develop my skills enough to have been entrusted with the responsibilities of a Co-Project Manager to begin, which then developed into Production Manager, then finally Project Manager.Some of said responsibilities include leading a team of drafters, modelers, and engineers through to completion and submittal of design calculations and construction drawings. I am also responsible for managing staff to ensure quality of production drawings and material requisitions are provided to the client so that construction of the building is initiated and completed according to schedule. Additionally, I track incoming and outgoing documentation so that a project's team is on the same page about scope, what resources are available, and that expectations on deliverables are being met. Alongside client managers we develop bids for new projects, additional work orders, and assure projects are sticking to budget. Not only do I provide design assist to my internal team, but I also represent our clients as the precast expert within coordination meetings to general contractors, architects, and other subs.

Working as a Survey Technician under Jerry Uselton (PLS) and Allen Mahan (LSIT) I was able to obtain valuable survey experience that has proven to be useful in future endeavors. Responsibilities included compiling information necessary to stake projects for construction, using engineering plans and CAD drawings. Record survey measurements and descriptive data, using varius media such as drawings, sketches, AutoCAD, and the Microsoft Office Suite. Perform calculations to determine earth curvature corrections, traverse closures and adjustments, azimuths, level runs, and placement of markers. Utilize AutoCAD to performing tasks such as storing data, making inquiries, and producing plots and reports. Additionally, collect information needed to carry out new surveys, using source maps, previous survey data, photographs, computer records, and As Built drawings. The position required superb communication and organizational skills to manage multiple project tasks simultaneously.

As an intern at Fuscoe Engineering I assisted and worked under Project Managers Victor Flores (LSIT) and Allen Mahan (LSIT) in Survey, Mapping Manager Kurt Troxell (PLS) on the Mapping team, Project Manager Debra Schales on the Storm Water Management team , and Senior Project Manager Trevor Dodson (PE) on the Residential team. Throughout the duration of my internship at Fuscoe I was able to learn a multitude of skills in the different departments all pertaining to Civil Engineering and Survey.Within the Survey team it was my responsibility to accurately complete the monitoring reports for current projects, as well as have them approved and signed by Kurt Troxell for distribution to the appropriate clients. I was also involved in the data entry and coordination of billing and exchange expense reports with Victor Flores. Additionally, I visited different job sites to conduct status reports for Victor to be used during the billing process. Furthermore, I worked along side Allen Mahan on job bids and proposals, along with topo-calcs and the creation of exhibits for the field surveyors when requested.For the Storm Water Management team, I assisted Debra Schales during job site visits for certifications on completed projects, the creation of CAD drawings for different projects, and the preparation/revision of plans for submittal.For Trevor Dodson I assisted with the formatting and revision of plans for submittal to different city's Public Works departments.During my time at Fuscoe, the majority of my work was completed in AutoCAD Civil 3D and Microsoft Excel.

As a Sales Associate my primary responsibility was to provide an exceptional experience to everyone I came in contact with. Typically this would consist of assisting customers with their unique DIY projects while holding a positive and welcoming attitude. An in-depth knowledge of the products we had to offer, as well as the quality and functionality of the products was expected from each customer. Furthermore, I was responsible for managing accounts, orders, deliveries, staff members, and customer-client relations. Additional responsibilities included: training of staff, maintaining a clean department, researching products, problem solving for customers, and working as a team between multiple departments to provide an over-arching exceptional service for customers doing a whole house renovation.

As an intern at Lucra Cars LLC. I worked under owner Luke Richards and Lead Mechanical Engineer Wes Cross. Responsibilities ranged from drawing the chassis for a car to be used in the filming of the movie Fast and the Furious 7 and the cockpit role cage for a motorhome that attempted to set the land speed world record at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, to creating a 3D drawing of an already existing electric transmission to be used in a lager assembly and developing a safety wire tie bolt to be used in the LC470 A arms. Much of my work at Lucra was done on Solidworks where I was able to continue to learn and hone my skills in the 3D modeling/ engineering field.Other tasks included communicating with vendors of products and 3rd party services for the design team, managing special material orders needed for the projects such as the safety bolt ordered from Fastenal and custom windows to be used on the Fast Attack vehicle for Fast and the Furious 7. Many projects entailed designing prototypes and communicating clear specification to the fabrication shop to develop the prototype for preliminary fit-up before, ordering from vendors to meet deadline constraints.Additionally, I would assist with coordination production schedules to the fabrication shop, whether that be data entry handed down from the owner or helping to install some of the product on a few of the vehicles in the fabrication shop. These are just examples showcasing how I worked with a team of people with different responsibilities to complete our tasks on time.
