About Trent Barron

Principled decision maker beaconed by team member input, organizational consciousness, and integrity. My ability to upskill and reskill has allowed me to evolve into an expert in various applications. From mastering Primavera P6, Power BI, and Microsoft Office applications as a Construction Scheduler and Project Controls Consultant to developing Project Documentation Systems in SharePoint and Smartsheet as a Program Manager, I am always looking for ways to create efficiency and improve communications. I am a Program and Project Management Consultant dedicated to executing complex projects. I am a proven leader skilled in business analysis, data and financial modeling, project controls, and contract management. I have a diverse background with over 20 years of experience managing construction projects in the energy, utilities, and materials sectors. My learning agility has enabled me to seamlessly adapt to new environments, work across cultures, flourish in virtual teams, and take on new challenges in stride.I enjoy exploring new technologies to understand how they improve our world and impact business. I have recently honed my knowledge of solar power technologies and contract law to help ensure the success of the solar energy projects I manage and consult on. I have also been exploring the field of data science to better understand how data mining and machine learning can be used to help companies evaluate projects and improve operations.
