I manage customer engineering builds from order through delivery.
What I'm looking for
At Terex Utilities, I manage customer builds for aerial devices and digger derricks from order to delivery. I coordinate sales, production, supply chain, and engineering teams to meet customer requirements and ANSI standards.
I serve as a primary contact for sales, dealers, and customers, clarifying specifications and resolving configuration questions.
Before Terex, I led engineering and operations teams in the United States Air Force, supervising up to 35 personnel supporting a $3.51B facility asset portfolio. I directed maintenance, construction, asset management, and project execution across mission-critical infrastructure.
I've developed scopes, cost estimates, and planning documents for 27 projects totaling $19M, supported $4.6B in infrastructure, and led execution of 91 active projects worth $60M. I bring mechanical engineering, customer communication, and cross-functional project leadership to complex customer-driven work.
