What I'm looking for
At Philippine Rice Research Institute, I lead and monitor infrastructure projects from planning and estimating through implementation, inspection, documentation, and closeout support. I prepare detailed estimates, quantity takeoffs, technical specifications, and project schedules.
I review architectural, structural, civil, and utility drawings for constructability, scope, quantities, and coordination needs. I also develop and revise CAD drawings for civil works, building improvements, drainage, and site development.
