About Thomas M.

Using Primavera P6, Milestone Professional, Microsoft Project, and proprietary software, I create and manage complex project schedules, ensuring optimized timelines, resource allocation, and seamless execution. My skills in Python, VBA, and C++ allow me to develop customized scheduling solutions, automate workflows, and improve overall planning efficiency in engineering and construction projects. I have extensive experience in developing detailed estimates and managing project schedules across Pre-Gate 2, Concept Selection, FEED, Detailed Design, and Execution. My role frequently involves handling change orders, ensuring that any modifications to the project scope are managed efficiently and transparently. I am proficient in using SAP for procurement and project management modules, streamlining processes and enhancing project efficiency and cost control. I have led the planning and scheduling of large-scale turnarounds, managing over task items to ensure projects are completed on time and within budget. My expertise in engineering-driven scheduling helps integrate design, procurement, fabrication, construction, commissioning, and startup activities into comprehensive, execution-focused schedules. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to rigorous progress tracking and cost management, ensuring that every project is delivered efficiently and predictably. This includes high-stakes turnarounds, where earned value management (EVM) plays a crucial role in tracking project performance, variance analysis, and forecasting. I develop comprehensive reports and executive-level visualizations, enabling leadership teams to make informed decisions. By leveraging advanced scheduling methodologies and data-driven insights, I provide clear visibility into project status, risks, and key performance indicators. My career began as a combination welder and NCCER-certified pipefitter, providing me with invaluable hands-on field experience and a deep understanding of engineering and construction processes. This real-world perspective allows me to bridge the gap between theoretical planning and practical execution, ensuring schedules are both strategically sound and practically achievable. As the oil & gas industry continues to evolve, I remain focused on driving efficiency, optimizing project execution, and ensuring the success of EPC and turnaround projects through proactive planning, precision scheduling, and seamless project integration.
