Juan Pablo Cotacio medina
@juancotaciom
Civil Engineer and Project Coordinator focused on construction supervision, documentation, and stakeholder delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Civil Engineer with university training at Universidad del Cauca and 6+ years of hands-on experience coordinating construction projects. I focus on keeping technical quality high while staying on top of deadlines, budgets, and field realities.
In my most recent role, I provided technical and administrative direction for civil works contracts, including infrastructure-related activities such as road works, traffic signage/road marking, and sanitary sewer systems. I also coordinated labor crews, suppliers, and subcontractors directly in the field, ensuring consistent compliance with specifications.
I’m strong in contract documentation management—drafting and handling formal records like commencement and progress documents, extension requests, suspension records, and official correspondence. I work fluidly with municipal contracting entities, inspection firms (interventorías), and government supervisors, using clear and formal written communication.
I also bring disciplined remote capability from field operations coordination, collecting and organizing on-site data and reporting it to central teams. I prioritize occupational health & safety (SST/OH&S) compliance, quality standards, and effective communication with stakeholders to deliver reliable results on-site or remotely.
