SKILLS
ABOUT DOUGLAS CONTEL
I am a dual-qualified Civil Engineer (B.E, 2018) and Architectural Technologist (2023) with 10 years of experience supporting and leading core project management functions on large, complex construction and infrastructure projects ranging from approximately $50M to $600M. I work in an office-based role within a General Contractor environment, partnering closely with Project Managers, Superintendents, and project controls teams to deliver disciplined project execution.My experience aligns with key Assistant Project Manager and Project Manager responsibilities, including subcontractor and consultant coordination, RFI and submittal management, schedule and cost control, forecasting, client change order management, progress reporting, and risk tracking. I have directly supported and managed cost forecasts and client-facing change processes, helping maintain budget alignment and commercial clarity throughout the project lifecycle. I routinely use platforms such as InEight and Procore to manage cost data, documentation, KPIs, and project reporting.I have contributed to high-profile, technically complex projects including the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Facility, the Albert Einstein Education and Research Center (AEERC), and major transit infrastructure projects. These environments have required strong commercial awareness, structured project controls, and effective coordination between office and field teams under tight schedule and budget constraints.With a strong technical foundation and hands-on experience in forecasting and change management, I bring a pragmatic, detail-driven approach to managing cost, schedule, and risk, and I am motivated to take on increased responsibility in delivering predictable, high-quality project outcomes.
