Career schedule · 2017 – 2026

Construction Team Lead

Faz-Coat Finishing Inc. · Windsor, ON

Mar 2025 – Jun 2026

Delivered assembly line, ventilation, and warehouse fit-out installations for clients including Ground Effects with production lines running throughout, leading a crew of 5–8 sequenced around live operations.
Held two concurrent projects to their milestone dates by planning look-ahead schedules and resequencing trades and deliveries whenever site conditions changed.
Caught material cost variances while the work was still correctable, building the Excel cost trackers for both projects — pivot tables and lookups comparing committed and actual costs against budget.
Supplied the client and head office with the daily and weekly cost and progress picture that change approvals and roughly $25–30K a month in billing ran on.
Converted scope changes and site instructions into billed work rather than absorbed cost, owning the change register from first notice through approval.
Stopped quantity discrepancies from turning into cost overruns by inspecting incoming deliveries against purchase orders and reconciling consumption against site requirements.

Site Engineer

Nishant Builders Civil Engineer & Contractor · Gujarat, India

Jul 2021 – Aug 2023

Kept milestones intact across 4 industrial projects worth roughly $2M while running 6–10 subcontractor crews at once, sequencing dependent trades to cut the idle time between them.
Surfaced schedule variances early enough for management to act on recovery options before contractual milestones slipped, tracking progress against baseline schedules in Primavera P6.
Turned AutoCAD drawings into the measured quantities that monthly progress billing and cost reconciliation ran on, tracking executed work against budgeted estimates in Excel.
Prevented rework and scope creep by cross-checking drawings against specifications in AutoCAD and raising requests for information (RFIs) on discrepancies before work reached site.
Gave progress claims, audits, and month-end reconciliation a defensible paper trail through measurement books, drawing registers, material records, and change logs.
Protected payments from unsupported claims by verifying material quantities and subcontractor billing against site records with procurement before certification.

Road Safety Barriers for Mountainous Terrain

Design & cost analysis · AutoCAD + Excel

Developed 2D and 3D barrier designs in AutoCAD tailored for high-altitude, accident-prone zones.
Analyzed accident patterns and terrain profiles to identify the high-risk stretches requiring enhanced protection.
Built cost estimates and material analyses in Excel, balancing cost-efficiency against structural integrity for remote sites.
Comparative analysis against existing systems showed a 90% potential increase in safety.

Railway Corridor Cost Management Plan

Windsor–Toronto rail case study · St Clair College (SPM)

Developed the cost management plan and budget for a 370 km rail-track sub-project within a CAD $610M program covering track, eight stations, and supporting infrastructure.
Applied parametric, bottom-up, and analogous estimating plus expert judgment to build defensible cost baselines.
Structured work packages and cost components across materials, signals and electrical, construction services, and human resources.
Addressed budget control, procurement, and quality assurance constraints against a fixed completion target.

Project Management Simulation

Personal portfolio project · 3 iteration cycles

Managed a virtual project team and resources through three simulation cycles, improving outcomes with each iteration.
Adjusted work package sequencing, resource allocation, and risk mitigation using WBS, Gantt charts, cost tracking, and Earned Value Analysis.
Cut total project cost by over 25% and finished 2.5 weeks earlier by the third run, with higher team utilization and less rework.
Led post-iteration reviews covering stakeholder satisfaction, key risks, and lessons learned.
