Project Superintendent on a one-year, $13 million ground-up electrical project for a superalloy manufacturing facility. Responsibilities encompassed oversight of manpower, scheduling, labor projections, and cost code budgets, as well as supervision of one General Foreman and five Foremen dedicated to the project. Actively participated in onsite owner meetings and coordinated with the general contractor to ensure effective scheduling and planning.

The scope of work included constructing a 100,000-square-foot superalloy industrial facility featuring a laboratory and an additional 35,000 square feet of office space. Critical project elements involved installing five 3,000-amp services, a 15kV switch, and a 15kV transformer, along with implementing complex lighting controls and power systems specifically designed to meet the demands of superalloy manufacturing operations.

Project Superintendent on a ground-up, three-year electrical installation valued at $25 million — a prominent 48-story mixed-use commercial building in downtown Austin. Responsible for overseeing manpower, scheduling, labor projections, and cost code budgets throughout the project. Supervisory duties extended to managing three general foremen and ten foremen, and regularly attended general contractor meetings with subcontractors to ensure seamless coordination of scheduling and project planning.

The tower features 800,000 square feet of rental office space, 19,000 square feet of ground-level rental space, 20,000 square feet of amenity space, a 25,000-square-foot outdoor patio, 20,000 square feet of ground-level outdoor space, and eighteen floors of parking garage. The electrical scope included the installation of five 5,000-amp services, forty-eight floors of bus duct, and twenty-five elevators.

The lighting package also incorporated over 1,500 lights on the building's crown, contributing to the facility's distinctive architectural presence.

Project Superintendent on a six-month, $12 million industrial build — a canning manufacturing plant in Austin, Texas. Responsible for supervising two general foremen and six foremen, ensuring comprehensive oversight of project planning and design in close collaboration with on-site engineers.

The project scope includes the installation of two 3,000-amp services equipped with advanced motor controls to support conveyor and tool connections. In addition, the project involves the implementation of intricate lighting and power systems designed to meet the demanding requirements of tool installations throughout the facility.

Project Superintendent on a three-year, $26 million ground-up electrical installation supporting a seven-story university laboratory facility dedicated to energy engineering. The building features a two-story lecture hall with stadium seating and office spaces designed for graduate students.

Responsibilities included comprehensive oversight of manpower, scheduling, labor projections, and cost code budgeting, with direct supervision of two general foremen and six foremen throughout the project, ensuring effective management of all electrical operations.

The electrical scope included the installation of a 3,000-amp service with medium voltage switchgear that supplied dual 12.5 kV–480V transformer-fed switchgear. The project required implementation of complex lighting and power systems, all of which were fully integrated with the building's management system (BMS) and laboratory gas detection solutions.

Project Superintendent on a comprehensive ground-up electrical installation for a new high school, spanning three years and valued at $9.5 million. The project encompassed a 300,000-square-foot, three-story facility in the Austin area. Responsible for overseeing one General Foreman and three Foremen, ensuring effective management across all phases of the project.

Key responsibilities included conducting subcontractor meetings to facilitate communication and coordination among teams, managing project schedules, and planning all aspects of the electrical installation.
