WORK HISTORY
Senior Superintendent @PCL Construction
CA
As a Senior Superintendent with PCL Construction, I lead the execution of complex heavy civil and infrastructure projects, providing overall direction for site operations from mobilization through to project closeout. My role focuses on delivering safe, efficient, and high-quality work in challenging environments, often involving multiple work fronts, tight constraints, and live operational interfaces.I oversee all aspects of field execution, including self-perform work, subcontractor coordination, and resource planning, while working closely with project management to drive schedule performance and proactively manage risks. A key part of my role is developing and implementing detailed staging, logistics, and traffic management plans to ensure seamless construction activities while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations, particularly in high-demand urban and airport environments.Safety is a core priority in my approach to leadership. I actively promote and enforce a culture of safety excellence through planning, engagement, and accountability, ensuring that all work is executed to the highest standards. In parallel, I maintain a strong focus on cost and productivity, collaborating with project teams to optimize labour, equipment, and material usage while maintaining alignment with project budgets and timelines.Beyond execution, I contribute to preconstruction and pursuit efforts by providing constructability input, supporting schedule development, and identifying key risks and opportunities to strengthen project delivery strategies. I also serve as a primary field liaison with clients, consultants, and stakeholders.Throughout my career, I have been recognized for building and leading high-performing teams, driving accountability, and delivering results on complex projects. I take pride in bringing a practical, solutions-oriented mindset to every challenge, consistently achieving strong outcomes in safety, schedule, cost, and client satisfaction.
