What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own preconstruction estimating and GMP work for commercial envelope projects, partner with design and operations teams, and apply my thermal monitoring/instrumentation experience to support confident execution and risk reduction.

I’m a preconstruction estimator and project management professional with 10+ years of experience specializing in Division 7 commercial roofing, architectural sheet metal, ACM panel systems, insulated metal panels (IMP), and bonded core composite wall systems. I focus on complex commercial building envelope projects where strong planning, clear scope, and disciplined risk assessment make the difference.

I build confidence early through conceptual budgeting, GMP development, negotiated procurement, and detailed quantity takeoffs. I analyze specifications and construction drawings across roofing and envelope assemblies—TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, standing seam metal roofing, waterproofing, and air/vapor barrier systems—then translate that analysis into constructability reviews, subcontractor scope development, and value engineering/cost optimization.

Alongside preconstruction, I lead through execution by managing thermal monitoring and instrumentation programs for geotechnical and structural applications. I direct installation, commissioning, calibration, maintenance, and troubleshooting of monitoring systems, interpret thermal/structural performance data for trends and anomalies, and ensure compliance with project specifications through real-time monitoring operations and QA/QC oversight.

I’ve generated approximately $14M in awarded contracts while maintaining an average gross profit margin of 17.04%. I also achieved approximately $82,000 in project savings by optimizing monitoring frequencies, equipment utilization, labor deployment, and field workflows. I work collaboratively with architects, consultants, owners, manufacturers, and operations teams to turn technical requirements into buildable, cost-controlled outcomes.
