Project Manager Leading Field Operations Oversight, Managing Sub-Contracts and Building Trusting Client Relationships

De Pere, Wisconsin, United States

About

As project manager at AZCO, I lead oversight of all field operations and sub-contracts as well as customer interface. With more than 10 years of professional experience, I have a demonstrated history of success working in the construction industry. Leading with safety first, I coordinate and manage project subcontractors from the beginning of the project until contraction completion. Previously an estimator, I performed detailed material and labor takeoffs from RFP documents to determine direct labor manhours, subcontractor needs and project scope. From estimating to planning to seeing a project come to fruition in physical form, I understand the ins and outs of the construction industry and enjoy working and communicating effectively with clients and subcontractors to drive successful outcomes. AZCO is a heavy industrial construction and fabrication solutions provider building the critical infrastructure that keeps communities and industries thriving. As part of the Burns & McDonnell family of companies, we integrate with engineering, construction and fabrication teams throughout the project to bring more advanced controls and predictable outcomes, delivering your project safer, better, smarter and faster.
