I’ve made it my life’s work to find and pull these weeds: identifying the core problems and creating solutions that eliminate waste and build the foundation for success for years to come.I am Thomas J. Kodron. I have extensive international experience of construction and broad-based project execution. I am highly expert in planning, resource allocation, staff management, setting benchmarks, and budget management. Proven success erecting vessels (storage tanks, spheres, and towers), managing EPC, ordering materials, planning schedules, negotiating contracts/change orders, determining costs, supervising staff, and plant maintenance.
