Summary
Skilled in hazard identification and team collaboration, I played a key role in strengthening safety protocols at Blattner Energy while working on the largest renewable energy project in the Western Hemisphere. Through proactive safety leadership and effective engagement with field teams, our project achieved a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0.36—one‑third of the overall business unit average. My strengths in emergency response planning, incident prevention, and problem‑solving led to measurable improvements in compliance and on‑site performance. Building on hands‑on experience at B&W Construction, I consistently drive projects to successful completion while maintaining a strong, safety‑first work environment.
