Program Manager at Xavier Morgan Contracting, coordinating project delivery and implementing quality control processes.
What I'm looking for
At Xavier Morgan Contracting, I coordinate project activities and resources as Program Manager for the Katy Office. I apply risk management to project activities, resources, and contracts, and implement and maintain quality control processes.
At USACE, Southwest Galveston, I worked as a Project Engineer in the Houston Resident Office. I coordinated project activities, applied quality assurance processes, and worked with Architect/Engineer firms on design activities from concept through final review.
As Project Manager at USACE, Real Property Services Field Office, I developed project plans and coordinated engineering and construction work. I also provided guidance on commissioning and functional testing for mechanical and electrical systems, including switchgear, chillers, and generators.
Earlier at USACE, I created a quality assurance support procedure and flowchart, a project information database, and tools for tracking project status and close-out documentation. My background also includes civil engineering, construction quality assurance, contract administration, and the use of P6 (Primavera), Specs-Intact, and Microsoft Office.
