Construction Engineer Turnover Coordinator resume example

During my time at Steel Truss and Frame Fabricators I had the opportunity to put into play all my areas of expertise. I was able to use my architecture knowledge to design new buildings and produce construction documents for permitting and construction. My structural engineering knowledge was the most suitable while with the company, as most of my time was spent designing light gauge metal frames and trusses. I was also involved with preparing detailed estimates, proposal and contract writing and the construction management of multiple projects.

• I was instrumental in aiding the expansion of Steel Truss and Frame Fabricators into the commercial market. By doing so, it increased the company’s market base doubling productions and sales.
• I was heavily involved with Lubbock Christian University new field house dormitories, which were designed using shipping containers. Steel Truss and Frame Fabricator supplied all roof trusses, and all needs for interior and exterior steel framing.
• Collaboration with licensed architects and engineers was necessary for certain projects, due to building code requirements. Strong coordinating and interpersonal skills were essential for success with these types of projects.
• Throughout my time with the company I was able to learn highly sophisticated and advanced design practices developed by Nucor Steel Inc. This learning coupled with my structural knowledge base gave me the ability to deliver the most sound and cost efficient structures.
• Software such as Intellibuild, which was used to design and optimize trusses and FramePlus for wall framing design, was used on a daily basis. In order to be a successful designer of these systems it was necessary to familiarize myself with the machinery which was used to manufacture the wall truss systems.
• Familiarity with IBC (International Building Codes) and Load and Resistant Factored Design (LRFD) were essential for this position.

Craig Olden Inc. is a design-build earth retention specialist which has established itself as one of the leading contractors of its kind in the state of Texas. When joining the company my main responsibility was as an estimator. As I became more familiar with the line of work I was able to expand into design and managed the construction of multiple projects.

As an estimator, I was responsible for scouting out prospective projects; once these projects were identified the following had to take place for success in the bidding process: site visits, coordination with clients, geotechnical research, land surveys, evaluation of surrounding environment, special needs, suppliers and collaboration with engineering and senior staff.

As I ventured out into project management I was able to understand the construction process of the company’s systems more in depth. This position required a high level of coordination ability as involvement with procurement, field superintended, general contractor, other subcontractors and engineering was done on a daily basis.

As a designer of these systems it was necessary to understand their engineering characteristic and theory of how they functioned. Understanding the types of soils and their characteristics was also necessary in order to apply the proper systems.

• Writing detailed proposals and contracts were part of my responsibility as an estimator. These legal binding documents were given a high level of attention and were reviewed by the President for final approval.
• The cross training I received at Craig Olden Inc. was a big part of my success with the company. I had the satisfaction of not only designing and selling projects, but that of managing the construction of some of them. Due to this cross training I was able to understand all phases of project therefore making for optimal profit margins.
• Detailed estimates included material, manpower, equipment and other miscellaneous costs. Being detailed oriented, strong negotiating and interpersonal skills were essential for success in this position.
• I benefited a great deal as an estimator in having the construction and design understating that I did.
• As a PM I was responsible for ordering all material necessary for the project. Manpower and equipment needs were also my responsibility.
• In my time with Craig Olden Inc. I was successful in bringing in multiple multi-million dollar projects and had the opportunity to be part of some very high profile project in the DFW area.
• Types of earth retention systems: soil nails, cantilever soldier piles, anchored soldier piles, anchored gabion walls, gravity gabion walls and others.
• As a PM it was my duty to prepare detailed progress reports and budget analysis on a weekly basis these were then presented during the project manager’s weekly meetings. These meetings were attended by the president of the company and the operations director. High level of organizational and coordination skills were essential for this position.
