Prior to being involved in these capacities I gained valuable practical and project management experience, extensively bridging the Civil, Architectural, Mechanical & Electrical divisions within the Municipal Infrastructure and ICI sectors such as, mixed and non-mixed flagship condominium developments, health care and retail, as well as, heavy civil projects including gravity sewer, pressure sewer, potable water systems, storm water stabilization ponds, water/waste water treatment facilities and power generation, specifically pressurized heavy water nuclear reactors – Canada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) technology.
My propensity to adapt quickly, perform rapid problem solving, ability to communicate effectively with clients, organize and deliver projects clearly and concisely, as well as work comfortably within many disciplines has consistently proven to make me a valuable asset to any team.
I have accomplished all requirements as a RICS Associate entitling me to the AssocRICS designation through the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors; as well, I have satisfied all designation requirements as Cost Estimator Certified (CEC) with the Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors and a Certified Engineering Technologist (CET) with the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologist (OACETT) as well as being a member of the American Association of Cost Engineers
The paper is divided into three sections, the first of which will establish a timeline of events. This project background will serve as a case study for the analysis in the following section that will be structured such that each of the previously mentioned facets will be independently analyzed and contrasted with project management principles. Finally the paper will conclude with a summary of the analysis and recommendations based on
For instance, as a three-season athlete, I understand the importance of commitment to a project for maximum results.
