Summary

I was a very versatile, dependable, all around field employee with Integrated Construction Management Inc. Typically bouncing between two or three different sites at a time and often on different military bases as well. Whether it be laboring with a team doing anything from installing an underground pipe system, to rough carpentry, to corrosion control and painting or even hangar maintenance and remodel all the way to working independently on smaller jobs and punch-out lists. I was transitioning into the site superintendent role over the past year of my employment, and sometimes traveled for several months for projects as well. I enjoyed my job and am only leaving them because they were unable to secure future contracts due to a restructuring of the company and I was the very last of the field personnel to be layed off. All of our contracts were performed on military installations only, primarily Cape Canaveral S.F.S., Patrick S.F.S. and Kennedy Space Center and were done to strict government specs and timelines. I am proficient with all related tools and equipment and am used to working in adverse conditions. I bring a positive outlook and am always eager to learn new things and new ways of doing the things that I already know.
