Oversee the final phase of the project, focusing on ensuring a seamless transition from construction to commissioning, handover, and operation. My responsibilities have centered on the coordination and management of key activities to achieve project milestones efficiently. Worked closely with engineering, construction, and commissioning teams to align turnovers with scope drawings. This alignment ensured that all project activities were properly captured and that the overall project schedule remained unaffected. In collaboration with the turnover coordinator, I was responsible for compiling, tracking, and resolving outstanding items found on punch lists. These included equipment installation issues and documentation errors. Through diligent compliance and proactive management, we achieved Mechanical Completion and attained Ready for Commissioning status ahead of schedule, demonstrating a strong commitment to project goals and operational efficiency. Partnered with the engineering team to address details for items missing from the scope drawings during both the design and construction stages. This involved reviewing drawings, coordinating design clarifications, and implementing necessary changes to prevent these gaps from impacting the turnover systems and to maintain the integrity and schedule of the turnover process. Collaborated with the piping and mechanical teams to ensure that all requirements outlined in the Subsystem Verification Matrix were met, including those regarding critical dimensions. This thorough approach helped guarantee that all aspects of the project conformed to the required standards and specifications. In partnership with the commissioning group, I contributed to the development of guidelines for turnover requirements based on lessons learned during the first turnover. These guidelines provide both teams with a clear framework, helping to facilitate future system turnover without the need for corrections.

Worked independently with limited oversight as the lead field engineer on the night shift. Coordinated closely with my supervision counterpart, field engineer, and field engineer tech to ensure consistent communication and alignment among all team members. Effectively communicated technical requirements to craft professionals, ensuring clarity and understanding. Coordinated with engineering on design issues related to piping and mechanical equipment systems. Took responsibility for reviewing design specifications, ensuring they were met, and promptly addressing any discrepancies or concerns that arose during implementation. Provides field engineering support and assistance to superintendents, supporting verifies material, equipment and quality, and assures results meet design requirements. Initiates requisitions for field purchases. Performed reviews of engineering design, resolves issues with design engineering which impacts construction installation activities. Validate all night shift quantities assuring installation is complete per specification, procedures, vendor manuals and technical data. Before moving to the night shift, I helped field procurement inspect and receive piping and pipe support materials. I reviewed 90% of the commodity module chase for installation, resolved engineering issues, and ensured no costly delays occurred with the erection of the chase on the modules up to 377 ft tall. Assisted the responsible piping field engineering located in MOD Yard get back on track due to being behind schedule.

Execute assigned responsibilities with limited supervision. Assigned to assist with 3 systems design (RAW Water, Potable and Sanitary). This led to redesign two of the systems and completing one of the systems based on my previous design experience with underground piping. This helped with avoiding major rework during installation due to my experience gain working at the Waste Treatment Project (WTP) and Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (PCAPP). Worked all permitted related systems with the engineering and site assuring all the state requirements are in compliance prior to installation due to experience gained working Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (PCAPP) and Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (BGCAPP).
