About Jorge E. Torres

During my more than 20 year of practical experience, I was exposed to various aspects of architectural firm operations. The result was learning and developing the skills required to successfully manage and work on a variety of project types. Roles and Responsibilities:• Directly worked with Principals to establish project budgets and time lines. • Involved in staff meetings leading to team selection based on specific project objectives. • Main point of contact and accountability for coordination with all parties involved.• Points of contact and coordination included working directly with clients, school districts, school board members, government agencies, and local building departments. • Composed, distributed, and archived all written correspondence. • Effectively used spreadsheets/templates for improving the project management process.These roles and responsibilities, working in small to mid-sized Architectural Design firms, allowed me to work independently on several small-scale projects and as a team member on large-scale projects. While being an integral part on the construction document process on projects; my involvement includes project initiation and analysis, schematic design through design development, to production and coordination of construction documents with consultants. My ability to communicate effectively and attention to detail facilitates successful projects and provides quality service to our clients. The quality of service provided often led to repeat work and attracted new clients by referrals.
