Summary
Adept Project Manager with a proven track record at Rodriguez Shipbuilding, where I led teams to exceed project goals through strategic planning and effective communication. Skilled in AutoCAD and adept at fostering vendor relationships, I ensured projects met stringent quality and safety standards, significantly contributing to business growth.
I personally oversaw the construction and delivery of numerous steel work vessels from the laying of keels through successful trial and delivery of Class vessels including lift boats, model bow tugs, and RO/RO Cargo Vessels.
I am very familiar with USCG CFR regulations and ABS and LLOYDS CLASS requirements regarding steel work vessels.
