I assisted with this project’s baseline schedule by analyzing, updating and commenting on the construction schedule; requesting weekly reports of the status of construction generated; and assessing time adherence to contract documents.

 

I analyzed all technical aspects of construction schedules and prepared schedules planning, design and construction; monitored schedules and took appropriate actions to ensure that project is completed on schedule and within approved cost limitations; provided ongoing interface with contractors, construction managers, construction site personnel and senior management on project issues; participated in the development and issuance of project procedures and policies; resolved issues and problems raised in field reports made by design and construction management staff; worked with the architect/engineer of record regarding change orders, time extension, performed interpretation of contract documents, shop drawing submittals/approvals and other technical matters as required to ensure a structurally sound, code compliant and aesthetic facility. I issued field memoranda and directives to contractors to enforce contract compliance. I used sound, independent judgment to make on-site change order decisions.  I negotiated with contractors and committed resources on such change orders; review contractors' claims or disputed work and advise senior management officials.
