VZ Telecom Regional Operations

QUALIFICATIONS              With 29 years of Outside Plant Maintenance, Construction and Engineering management experience, with the most recent five years directly related to the Virginia Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) project, this work experience has provided me the essential skills sets as well as built a solid foundation and working knowledge of Outside Plant Construction, both FTTP and CORE.

 

Commencing with the FTTP buried contractor placing oversight then with 2.5 years overall FTTP Construction Project Management with another 2.5 years of Multi Dwelling Units (MDU) and Multi Tenant Unit (MTU) placing and splicing oversight along with my current position as Local Manager of FIOS/CORE Buried Service Wire (BSW) has placed me in a position that enables me to provide quality leadership building Verizon’s FTTP/CORE Outside Plant infrastructure.

 

As FTTP Project Manager I analyze our monthly objectives, making (and adjusting when necessary) comprehensive plans including monitoring capital and expense budgets, mentoring and couching peers as well as associates to embrace the common monthly objectives by working together as one team. During this period from 2005 through 2007, our team made significant contributions to the Virginia’s overall ready for sales objective, often passing monthly objectives.

 

Based on my diverse experience of Outside Plant Construction I an confident in stating that I am well qualified to perform the duties and job responsibilities of Area Manager – Construction.

 

EXPERIENCE              03-21-2010-              VERIZON                                  RICHMOIND, VA  

                                          SUPV - CONSTRUCTION

My current position is the Local Manager for the Central Virginia Buried Service Wire team overseeing 21 technicians across three work centers covering 78 wire centers. Primary job duties are to insure customer satisfaction by completing FiOS BSW placement in front of the FiOS service order date due minus one day. Secondary only due to overall volume is to insure the placement and cutover when required of BAU/Copper BSW in areas, which do not have FiOS available. This is accomplished utilizing two contract vendors assigned to separate areas within the 78 wire centers, placing all BSW regardless of type. My concentrated effort for the first four months in this position has been focused on reinforcing procedures and work rules as well as overall support to the team by providing effective leadership and guidance. As an improvement measure I established an area SPOC for both the Fredericksburg and Richmond area in order to improve associate productivity and oversight of Verizon’s BSW contract vendors.

SUPV – CONSTRUCTION

Job responsibilities were split between two roles. I managed a FTTP Compliance Inspector Team consisting of seven Compliance Technicians who’s role was to ensure Verizon’s three FTTP Contract Placing Vendors in Central Virginia preformed within the provisions and language set forth within the Contract Vendor Placing Agreement between Verizon and the Contract Vendors along with the enforcement of the Virginia Damage Prevention Standards and the Verizon Virginia FTTP Construction 2008 Damage Prevention Policy. The second role was the complete oversight (including all construction placing and splicing) of the FTTP MDU/MTU project in Central Virginia with the direct supervision of six Cable Splicing Technicians. In both areas of responsibility I planned, organized and coordinated all activities encompassing both teams. The Compliance Team is best in class throughout Virginia (fBA) for material management and oversight of cable inventory and disbursements. The MDU/MTU Tem completed 86 MDU EWO’s totaling 7,617 units as well as 61 MTU EWO’s totaling 1,631 units through the end of December 2008.

SPEC – CONSTRUCTION

As Project Manager – FTTP Construction Central Virginia I coordinated all components of the FTTP build scheduling all FTTP work including Single Family, Mu;ti-Dwelling and Interoffice fiber Engineering Work Orders while working closely with the CMC and Capital Management to assist in building the best workable schedule each month. Conducted bi-weekly conference calls with all team members to monitor each ongoing job to ensure monthly targets were met or exceeded. Ensured each Engineering Work Order closed in vBuild each month in order for the red-lined “as built” print to be forwarded to the CMC in a timely manner to ensure ready for sales targets were met. For the time period from May 2005 to December 2007 Central Virginia exceeded monthly Single Family and Multi-Dwelling objectives nearly every month. For year end 2007 the Central Virginia Team came in at $894.57 cost per home passed compared to an objective of $957.00. In addition to the Project Management position I also had oversight of the Damage Prevention Team in Central Virginia with contributed to the outstanding results produced in regards to damages and customer complaints.

Had oversight of 12 Compliance Inspectors who’s role was to ensure Verizon’s FTTP Contract Buried Placing Vendot in Central Virginia preformed within the provisions and language set forth within the Vendor Placing Agreement between Verizon and the Contract Vendor. At the beginning of this assignment I facilitated a workshop to review roles and responsibilities of our Compliance Inspectors that included the State Corporation Commission rules and regulations of the Miss Utility Laws and “Best Practice” digging procedures. As a result of the workshop new policies and procedures were adopted for the initial start up of the FTTP Construction build in Central Virginia. Formulated positive and effective relationships with the CMC, OSP Engineering and the Consumer organization to promote the successful rollout of FTTP Construction build in Central Virginia.
