Professional Experience

Senior Project Scheduler / Schedule Analyst

US Army Corp of Engineers (Contracted – Health Facility Services)

New Darnall Army Medical Center Constructions - Fort Hood, TX

April 2013 – July 2014

Summary

I was contracted to the U S Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to perform analysis of the prime contractor’s

monthly schedule update. This entailed reviewing the schedule update submittals and required supporting

documents, reports, and charts were in adherence to the specifications included in the prime contract.

Another aspect of the position was the analysis of the monthly schedule for integrity, discrepancies, inaccuracies,

and feasibility of the updated project plan. I was also responsible for examining the schedules and related

documents associated with the Prime Contractor’s Request for Equitable Adjustment (REA).

Achievements

Through my 13-month tenure, I was able to encourage the prime contractor to begin adherence to the contractual

specifications for the monthly pay request. This lead to a better understanding of both the monthly field progress

and to discuss during the Monthly Schedule Update Meeting the current plan of execution. This, in turn, provided

USACE a more accurate inspection schedule and gave management the ability to plan more accurately the workload

of the Quality Control resources.

Also, while assigned to the Fort Hood New Hospital Project, I was requested by the Senior Project Engineer to

provide training to the project staff on scheduling basics, as well as, how to read and interpret the schedules issued

to them monthly. One of the most amazing benefits of this was the new-found ability of the Quality and Technical

Engineers to ask questions about it! Another benefit – as I was informed by the Senior Project Engineer – is the

ability of these QC’s and TE’s to take the skills they’d learned for future USACE projects.

Project Controls Specialist IV

Fluor, Australia

Mining and Minerals Division – Adelaide / Coober Pedy, South Australia

August 2007 – April 2008

Summary

Assigned as the site infrastructure scheduler on a new mine site development in South Australia. Areas of

involvement in this project included permanent power and water, access roads, airfield construction, and

establishment of housing and support facilities for the mining camp. Working closely with a multitude of

subcontractors, it was my task to integrate and manage multiple schedules into one master schedule for

internal use and client approval.

Achievements

Major achievement for this project was the planning and coordination for the permanent power works. As the

project was in the Outback of South Australia, no permanent power was available in the immediate area. The

closest source for permanent power was at the BHP Biliton mining site at Olympic Dam at a distance of roughly

200km from Prominent Hill. The major obstacle was planning for work to the existing substation at Olympic Dam

during mill shutdowns so as to not expose BHP Biliton to any potential financial losses in the event that the work

being performed damaged the existing power grid.
