William Agee

Project Manager with a hands-on electrical background, leading complex public infrastructure projects with a specialized focus on traffic signal systems, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), roadway lighting, and Smart City integration. Responsible for managing projects from pre-construction through final acceptance, with full accountability for schedule, budget, compliance, and team performance.

• Manage end-to-end delivery of multi-million dollar public infrastructure projects, including traffic signal modernization, ITS deployments, and fiber optic communication networks.
• Conduct thorough scope reviews, risk assessments, and constructability analyses during the pre-construction phase to ensure alignment with project objectives, agency specifications, and budget constraints.
• Develop detailed project execution plans, including phasing strategies, resource allocation, traffic control coordination, and contingency planning.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for municipal clients, DOT officials, consultants, and utility representatives throughout the project lifecycle.
• Lead coordination meetings, project update briefings, and site walks with stakeholders to maintain transparency, resolve issues, and facilitate cross-agency collaboration.
• Navigate permitting, utility clearances, traffic control plans (TCPs), and jurisdictional approvals to minimize delays and ensure full compliance with local and federal requirements.
• Supervise field operations in coordination with foremen, providing technical direction and troubleshooting support for complex installations involving signal controller cabinets, fiber terminations, detection systems, and advanced ITS components.
• Ensure compliance with NEC, MUTCD, IMSA, FAA, and state DOT standards through proactive quality control.
• Implement and enforce safety protocols aligned with OSHA and project-specific requirements, conducting site safety audits.
• Management of multiple subcontractors across disciplines including civil, electrical, trenching, boring, fiber optics and communications.
• Oversee daily progress, manpower allocation, and quality assurance of subcontractors to ensure timely and compliant deliverables.
• Coordinate procurement and delivery of long-lead items such as signal poles, controllers, ITS devices, and other materials.
• Develop and manage project budgets, forecasts, and cost-tracking reports. Proactively identify and mitigate potential cost overruns through scope clarifications, value engineering, and field-driven design solutions.
• Process change orders, RFIs, submittals, and pay applications.
• Maintain comprehensive project documentation including daily reports, meeting minutes, schedule updates, quality control logs, and inspection records.
• Prepare and submit progress reports to clients and senior leadership, tracking schedule performance against baseline and highlighting key milestones, challenges, and corrective actions.
• As a traffic signal electrician, I specialized in the installation, maintenance, and repair of transportation and public safety infrastructure systems. Please see the below J. Ranck experience for reference instead of redundantly mentioning here.

• As a traffic signal electrician, I specialized in the installation, maintenance, and repair of transportation and public safety infrastructure systems.
• Installation, wiring, programming, and troubleshooting of traditional and adaptive traffic signal systems, ensuring full compliance with MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices), NEC (National Electrical Code), and state DOT standards.
• Installation and upgrade of roadway lighting systems, including LED conversions, highway illumination, and pedestrian lighting, contributing to improved roadway safety and energy efficiency.
• Deployment of ITS devices including traffic monitoring cameras, dynamic message signs (DMS), vehicle detection systems, and advanced signal controllers. This work supported real-time traffic management and Smart City infrastructure initiatives.
• Splicing, termination, and installation of underground and aerial fiber optic cabling for traffic signal interconnects and communications backhaul. Responsibilities included OTDR testing, network diagnostics, and collaboration with telecom providers and municipal IT departments.
• Worked on low- to medium-voltage overhead and underground power line installations to support traffic signal cabinets, lighting systems, and public service infrastructure.
• Assisted in implementing Smart City technologies, integrating signal systems with centralized traffic management centers. Worked with adaptive signal control systems (ASCS), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication protocols, and energy-efficient solutions such as solar-powered systems and wireless communication networks.
• Interpreted and executed complex engineered blueprints, wiring diagrams, and project specifications. Coordinated directly with municipal engineers, general contractors, and DOT officials to ensure timely and compliant installations, often in active roadway and high-traffic environments.

• Skilled and technically proficient electrician with hands-on experience in large-scale commercial and industrial electrical projects, including critical infrastructure environments such as server rooms, airports, pharmaceutical facilities, factories and power generation sites. Expert in the installation, commissioning, and maintenance of high-reliability electrical systems, with knowledge of medium-voltage distribution, redundant power architecture, and environmental controls for mission-critical applications.
• Installed, tested, and maintained commercial and industrial power systems from 120V to 13.2kV, including branch circuits, transformers, disconnects, and load centers.
• Executed critical tie-ins and upgrades to live systems with zero downtime; provided switchboard integration and load balancing during peak demand periods.
• Supported installation and programming of VFDs, soft starters, and motor control circuits for large chiller systems and HVAC infrastructure.
• Assembled and commissioned medium- and low-voltage switchgear, including testing of relays, breakers, CTs, and PTs.
• Performed megger testing, ductor testing, and breaker timing analysis for high-reliability installations.
• Installed and maintained UPS systems (single and three-phase), including battery banks, inverter systems, and bypass cabinets.
• Integrated standby diesel generators, fuel systems, and load testing into building infrastructure with automatic failover via ATS/STS units.
• Conducted load transfer testing and generator synchronization with utility power during commissioning and emergency simulations.
• Performed full build-outs of server rooms, including EMT conduit installations, redundant feeder routing, clean grounding systems, and rack PDU deployments.
• Executed electrical installations for temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical storage, including walk-in freezers, precision chillers, and alarmed control panels.
• Raceway & Conduit: Expert-level bending and installation of EMT, RMC, and IMC (hand and hydraulic) for complex industrial layouts.
• Power & Lighting: Phase balancing, panel labeling, and installation of advanced LED controls, occupancy sensors, and dimming systems.
• Conducted routine electrical inspections, IR thermography, torque checks, and resistance testing to identify pre-failure indicators.
• Blueprint Proficiency: Interpreting one-line diagrams, schematics, and architectural plans to perform precise field layouts.
