EXPERIENCE
OCTOBER 2022 – PRESENT
PROJECT MANAGER / SERVICE & PROJECT RECOVERY LEAD, HYPOWER
Major Projects & Design-Build Delivery
$55M MSC Cruise Terminal – Largest Cruise Terminal in North America
● Directed electrical scope of work for a landmark cruise terminal project involving
high-complexity systems such as ETC digital lighting controls, VESDA, BDA, Access Control,
Lightning Protection, telecommunications, and CBP-classified high-security systems.
● Oversaw full project lifecycle including procurement strategy, contract buyout, logistics
planning, permitting, inspections, commissioning, and closeout.
● Managed all project documentation including T&M tickets, RFIs, submittals, PCOs,
closeout logs, punch lists, permits, schedules, and submittal approvals using Procore.
● Led weekly coordination with subcontractors and vendors; monitored cost forecasts,
tracked schedule milestones, and supported executive reporting and owner
communications.
● Collaborated directly with Engineers of Record (EORs) to verify feeder sizing, conductor
types, overcurrent protection, breaker ratings, equipment ampacity, fault ratings, and
coordination requirements prior to procurement and installation.
● Maintained project records, document control logs, and ensured contract compliance
while managing change order workflows and rental equipment utilization.
Service Department Turnaround & Project Recovery
Key responsibilities and outcomes:
● Assumed control of abandoned projects, identified scope gaps, reconstructed project
history, and drove final inspections, documentation, and closeout.
● Repaired and rebuilt relationships with major general contractors through consistent
communication, technical credibility, and fair negotiation.
● Led closeout efforts on projects where Hypower faced significant financial and
reputational risk.
Representative Recovery Projects:
Homestead Air Reserve Base – Hangar 200 ($1.2M)
● Managed training and commissioning scheduling for electrical equipment and lighting control systems.
● Led as-built documentation creation and submission.

● Successfully restored working relationship with HITT Contracting after prior breakdowns. Seminole Trails Elementary School – Palm Beach County
● Entered a highly distressed project with 2+ year-old unresolved change orders, broken GC relations, and partial walk-off conditions.
● Negotiated legacy change orders and financial exposure with Lebolo Construction in a highly adversarial environment.
● Planned and executed final scope: DMX lighting installation and programming (Elation fixtures, Acclaim controller) in cafeteria and stage areas.
● Coordinated school board training, electrician badging, holiday-only work windows, and strict site cleanliness requirements.

Tropical Chevrolet – Claims Mitigation & Margin Protection
● Investigated multiple damage claims where other contractors impacted installed electrical work and attempted to shift liability to Hypower.
● Located archived correspondence and documentation proving damage occurred outside Hypower’s scope and control.
● Successfully resolved claims without cost to Hypower, preventing unnecessary rework and financial loss.
● Identified and resolved a scope gap where the GC assumed certain lighting fixtures were included in the original contract, despite no formal agreement by prior management. ● Clearly documented the scope discrepancy, presented historical evidence, and negotiated approval to submit a valid change order for additional fixtures.
● Supported planning and budgeting for the upcoming car wash electrical scope, positioning the project for improved profit margin under clear scope definition and phased execution. Millennium Tower – Brickell, FL
● Took over closeout of a delayed commercial high-rise with $500K retention at risk. ● Resolved lighting controls dispute involving daylight harvesting sequences, zoning conflicts, and Lutron architectural documentation.
● Authored a critical RFI clarifying sequence-of-operations language, resulting in engineer approval with no additional scope.
● Closed all punch list items and achieved final project closeout.
2
Audi / Lamborghini South Dealership
● Completed remaining lighting control scope including sensor installation and programming.
● Led persistent owner negotiations to secure final retention payment.
Additional Contributions
● Resolved expired permits with the City of Miami by reconstructing scopes and driving final inspections on unfamiliar legacy work.
● Assisted in transitioning Tropical Chevrolet into a new active construction phase, preparing to assume full PM responsibility (budgeting, phase codes, takeoffs, scheduling). ● Supported business development by attending industry conventions, representing Hypower, strengthening client relationships, and helping generate service and construction leads.
