About Kausi A.
Work SummaryWith more than 25 years of experience in construction management and resident engineering, I have successfully delivered some of Southern California’s most complex infrastructure programs. As Senior Resident Engineer/Construction Manager on the $2.1 billion I-405 Design-Build Improvement Project, I led contract administration, cost and schedule management, claims avoidance, and stakeholder coordination across one of the largest freeway projects in California.My resume reflects a proven record managing freeway and highway widening, pavement rehabilitation, bridge structures, and transit/rail projects for agencies including Caltrans, OCTA, RCTC, SCRRA/Metrolink. Key assignments include the I-5 Widening (OCTA), SR-91 Corridor Improvements (OCTA), and Brightline West High-Speed Rail (Utility Lead). Earlier in my career as a Senior Transportation Manager at Caltrans, I built a foundation in contract negotiation, risk management, and project controls, applying Caltrans’ Standard Specifications, Construction Manual procedures, and claims-avoidance practices.I hold professional certifications (PE, PMP, QSD, OSHA 30/10) and advanced education (BSCE, MSCE), complemented by hands-on experience with CPM scheduling, ProDMS, and Falcon systems. Recognized for fostering award-winning partnering environments (Caltrans/OCTA Gold and Silver Partnering Awards), my approach integrates technical expertise, stakeholder alignment, and rigorous quality oversight to consistently deliver projects safely, on time, and within budget.
