Summary

While working to learn new systems and processes that were required for each project, I have acquired knowledge in small and large Capital Projects, Maintenance Turnarounds, Project Management, Cost Control, Planning and Engineering. In the process of building and executing these schedules I produced reports and analytics for my employer and contract or client needs regarding all aspects of cost and schedule progress or development. My assignments have ranged from small turnarounds to large Capital Projects into the billion dollar range. I have worked with multiple logically integrated schedules as well as multiple subcontractors. I have managed teams through development and execution throughout my career and welcome the chance to work with people driven to success.

Project Schedule Manager/Lead Scheduler

 

CPChem- I have been the Project Scheduling Manager and lead scheduler for the development and execution of the 2.7 billion dollar investment CPChem made to design and construct a Greenfield polyethylene facility project in Sweeny, TX. and Storage in Transit facility. Working closely with the client my team and I developed a full EPC schedule with our engineering partner Technip to develop the polyethylene schedule. The SIT schedule was developed with Zachry Engineering of Omaha and several smaller third party engineering partners. Multiple logically tied schedules were needed based on the complexity of these projects. Several project baselines were created and used as the development of these schedules continued. Although cost was not directly integrated into this particular schedule, man-hours actual and earned were reported to our cost department and the client and used to fulfill our cost reporting requirements.
