              Alcoa – Global Primary Products

              Role/Responsibility: PROJECT MANAGER & CONSTRUCTION SPECIALIST             

Manage development and execution of  fully integrated project management and execution plans including Scope, WBS, OBS, Work Packages, resource aquisition, scheduling & leveling, pricing, budgeting, contracting and fully integrating effective risk management, and mitigation strategy’s (project size ranging from $35M to $500M).

 

Developed the sustaining capital model of the Alcoa Project Control System (APCS)  incorporating industry wide “Best Practices” and standardizing project management processes around the globe.  Benchmarked front-end loading (FEL) performance for all regions  to objectively identify and communicate opportunities for improvement.  Measured incremental FEL performance against regional baselines to establish trends and identify areas requiring additional resources/support.  Led all regions in the sharing of regional “Best Practices” and incorporating those agreed upon by all regions into APCS.  Trained global sustaining capital project resources in the application of APCS on all sustaining capital projects.

 

Developed and deployed Earned Value Management (EVM) processes and procedures with Alcoa Global Alliance partners to communicate, facilitate, and require EVM on all major Alcoa capital projects.

 

Participated in multiple project peer reviews, validating cost estimates, schedule duration estimates, adequacy of risk management plans, and the overall level of integration among all components in the  project  execution plan (size range from $250M to over $1B).
