Summary
I'm a Plumbing Foreman/Supervisor at the largest Biosolids Digester Facility Project(Wastewater Treatment Plant) in San Francisco,CA. I hold a pivotal role in overseeing a skilled crew of 10 workers. My responsibilities encompass coordinating the installation of both rough-in and finish plumbing work, contributing to a project valued at over 1 billion dollars. I oversee the implementation of complex piping systems, including W2, PO, CPAS, SCPAS, TAS, WAS, Centrate, and Filtrate, ranging in size from 3/8” diameter up to 18”inch ensuring that all installations meet industry standards and project specifications. My leadership not only drives productivity and efficiency but also fosters a safety-first culture among our team, which is crucial in a facility handling nearly 80% of the city’s storm and wastewater annually.
Most of my accomplishments include managing timelines effectively, maintaining high-quality workmanship, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, all of which are essential for the successful operation of this crucial infrastructure. The expertise and dedication significantly contribute to the project's impact on the city's environmental sustainability and public health.
