What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and career growth.

I am a detail-oriented Construction Project Manager with a solid background in construction and pre-construction estimating, cost analysis, and project coordination. My experience includes site logistics, quantity take-offs, procurement strategies, and value engineering. I excel at collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, regulatory authorities, and suppliers to ensure project feasibility and budget adherence.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong skill set in cost estimation, budgeting, and resource optimization. I am proficient in AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam, MS Project, and SAP ERP, with a comprehensive understanding of the Ontario Building Code and industry standards. My ability to identify cost-effective construction alternatives and implement cost reduction strategies has consistently optimized value without compromising quality or safety.

In my previous roles, I have successfully managed client relationships, provided technical support, and ensured timely deliveries. My commitment to effective communication and collaboration with engineers, architects, and consultants has enabled me to navigate technical and financial challenges efficiently, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget.
