What I'm looking for

I’m actively returning to the profession and am looking to contribute to a government or public-sector team focused on infrastructure, facilities, or capital project delivery.

At Barné Building & Construction Inc., I prepared quantity take-offs, cost estimates, and bid packages for residential and commercial construction projects across Ontario.

I analyzed RFQ packages and specifications, interpreted architectural and engineering drawings, and prepared material and labour estimates. I also managed Change Orders and documented their cost impacts.

My project work included renovations at six public schools in Greater Sudbury, 14 Guildcrest residential housing projects, and a residential complex for the Municipality of Central Manitoulin from bid to completion.

After a period of family leave, I’m actively returning to the profession. I’m looking to contribute to a government or public-sector team focused on infrastructure, facilities, or capital project delivery.
