About Cortney Thomas

I am a seasoned electrical engineer with 10+ years of project leadership and field experience in the telecommunications sphere. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for project management, as well as for creating accurate field assessments and upholding ethical standards, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company growth and expansion throughout my career. As such, I have consistently exceeded performance goals and I am adept at achieving maximum operational output with minimal resource expenditure. Professional focal points include telecommunications, equipment testing, electrical estimation, field assessment, cross-functional team leadership, performance assessment, client relationship management, and project management. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication skills, negotiation skills, as well as systems analysis and resource management to support efficiency and maximum returns. Currently, I am the Fielding Engineer/MRC/MRE with Bechtel Engineering. Under my leadership, I administer the walk downs of the proposed telecommunications network to obtain information regarding the installation and constructability of the fiber routes, assessments of the conceptual designs, and coordination with the Engineering and Construction teams. I also complete right-of-way and route assessments to confirm the route corridor is acceptable and can be built in the most cost-effective manner. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, stakeholders, and local jurisdiction teams to ensure the company’s field engineering support structure is driving the business forward with minimal expenditures.Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, engineering and managerial expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget.
