Summary of Expertise
- 15 years of experience including 13 years in Project Controls with expertise in planning, scheduling, cost control and analysis of project plans to support Senior Management, VPs, SMEs and CAMs.
- Extensive experience in developing resource loaded baselines
(BCWS), documenting performance to PMB (BCWP), verifing actuals
(ACWP), and providing weekly & monthly reporting for both schedule
and cost, creating and documenting FYSF forecasts, conducting
variance analysis, and change proposal support
- Experience and demonstrated expertise in the use of planning and scheduling tools such as Primavera Project Manager.
- Experience spans successful projects at two Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories/Facilities and construction scheduling of a category 1 private nuclear facility.
- Successful experience in cost accounting, Lifecycle EVMS, cost schedule analysis, initial project planning, problem resolution and project closeout.
- Energetic self-starter with the ability to work independently and in collaborative settings.
- Project Controls Engineer at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) contributing on several security-improving teams by applying extensive knowledge and experience in the theories, principles and echniques of project controls within the defined policies of LANL and the Department of Energy. Responsibilities entail project planning, estimating, detailed scheduling, resource-loading discrete activities, cost control and baseline development in Primavera P6.
Provide monthly Earned Value reporting (EVMS) through PRISM Project Manager with cost and schedule variance analysis for each work package's performance against the approved baseline. Develop and track trends and corrective actions as needed.
- Commercial construction scheduling experience at the National Enrichment Facility (NEF) in Eunice, New Mexico working with a team using Primavera 6.1 (P6) to manage over 18,000 integrated construction, commissioning and operating activities. NEF was the first new nuclear construction project in over 30 years in the United States, and was being built under the new concept of a Construction and Operating License (COL); therefore, the NRC regulations are demanding and the construction schedule aggressive with a budget of $2 billion. Responsible for over 4,500 integrated activities with hundreds of external ties. Responsible for the weekly reporting cycle including documenting progress, variances and potential schedule impacts, and generating critical paths for management decision making. Worked with subcontractors to manage activities in the integrated schedule and mitigated impacts from construction or regulatory delays. Responsible for ensuring that construction trades, security and regulatory equirements were correctly incorporated into the schedule; required diligent communication with nine other schedulers on a daily basis.
