About Sumedh Kharat

As a recent graduate of Purdue University with a Master of Science in Construction Management Technology, I am eager to apply my skills and knowledge to challenging and impactful projects in the construction industry. I have a strong academic background in civil engineering, construction management, and project management, as well as multiple certifications in relevant tools and methodologies, such as Primavera P6, Procore, and Construction Project Management. I also have hands-on experience in various aspects of construction management, such as RFIs, submittals, construction oversight, quantity take-offs, change order management, CPM scheduling, and total quality management. I have worked as a student supervisor and a student cook at Purdue Dining & Culinary, where I demonstrated my leadership, communication, and teamwork skills. Additionally, I have gained customer service and cash handling skills as a barista at Starbucks. I am a detail-oriented, quality-focused, and technically adept professional who is ready to excel in challenging construction management projects.
