I worked with Tristan for three months and in that time he displayed all of the signs of a decisive leader and hard worker that you hope to find in employees. His commitment to the details and desire to do what is right at all times was impressive. In addition to being a great coworker and employee he is also a great person that I feel lucky to have met. Tristan will under promise and over deliver on all tasks assigned to him. He’s an excellent PM who combines his various education and experience to deliver both analytical and hypothetical data analysis. He’s a pleasure to work with and brightened my days on a demanding project !

Tristan is one of the most intelligent and hardworking people I have ever worked with. His ability to break down problem areas within operations and put them into understandable reports and identify solutions is top notch.

Kenneth Murray

Tristan Weir is one of the most knowledgeable and driven individuals I have had the pleasure of working with. His ability to analyze and collect critical data to support complex tasks is astounding. Tristan is continually looking for ways to improve processes and streamline tasks. I could always count on him to research, analyze and provide detailed data that identified, risks, resource requirements and timelines based on current staffing and knowledge. I would not hesitate to hire or consult with Tristan on future projects. I had the privilege watching Tristan manage a team that lacked direction and guidance, within a few weeks he developed clear path forward through his data gathering and analysis. It was amazing to watch Tristan build his team and how quickly they developed a solid work structure, his leadership and ability to remove roadblocks improved processes and trust from our clients.

    • Senior Project Manager
      • Aug 2020 - Jan 2023

      In collaboration with SDG&E’s Electrical System Hardening (ESH) department, I provided owner’s engineer (OE) support for the Drone Investigation, Assessment, and Repair (DIAR) program. My contributions included refining RFI management, innovating RFI tracking dashboards to highlight inefficiencies, and delivering actionable KPI data. I also developed workflow management dashboards through PowerBI, enhancing the backlog grooming process and preempting unexpected challenges during design.Working closely with SDG&E's Electric Distribution Planning department, I led Cordoba’s EDP PMO team. Our team provided project management, financial services, and program support for various design and engineering projects with a power distribution element. Beyond that, I directly managed the project support team, supervising project managers, program coordinators, estimators, cost analysts, and schedulers. I maintained oversight of a portfolio valued over $110 million, handling prime and subcontractor contracts and overseeing recruitment, onboarding, and training.I played an instrumental role in the creation of Cordoba’s project management playbook, aiming to standardize methodologies and provide tools and guidelines to project teams throughout every stage, from initiation to closeout. This playbook prominently features project management methodologies such as flowcharts and checklists for various tasks including opportunity assessment, proposal development, bid reviews, and comprehensive project planning, spanning a broad range of managerial areas from stakeholder to safety management. I also developed tools for opportunity assessment and risk management and contributed my expertise to the proposal team during proposal creation. Show less

      • Jan 2020 - Sep 2020

      I provided PMO support and financial oversight for a vast portfolio of over 250 projects and several long-term programs for major telecommunications providers like AT&T, Ziply Fiber, CenturyLink, among others. These ventures, which produced monthly revenues between $6-11 million, encompassed a range of tasks from maintenance and fiber implementation to compliance and inspections. Focusing primarily on aerial and underground fiber route operations, I improved project timelines, developed tracking tools for multiple teams to ensure streamlined communication, and enhanced financial performance. My capability in workflow optimization is evident in the tracking tools I devised for the CenturyLink Oregon MSA team, which significantly increased the monthly accounts receivable cash flow by 479% year-over-year. Beyond financial analysis, I took an active role in safety oversight, leading weekly safety briefings to reduce potential incidents. I also assessed resource requirements, streamlined the onboarding process for subcontractors, and managed resources from subcontractors and vendors across various projects. Show less

      I played a pivotal role in the $125-million, 1,200-mile fiber optic network densification project in Portland and Vancouver, which consisted of a blend of 70% aerial and 30% underground installations. My responsibilities ranged from OSP engineering, permitting, and construction, to coordinating with over 50 regional entities and managing the establishment of 3,000 fiber distribution hubs. With strong financial oversight, I managed a budget exceeding $100 million, frequently reviewed performance metrics, and navigated risks surpassing $10 million. I fostered a solid relationship with the customer, providing weekly updates and tailoring our services to meet their specific needs. Furthermore, I supervised multiple subcontractors, especially in bridge attachment projects, and utilized a custom GIS database to proactively address potential permitting challenges. My innovative routing approach in Portland's central district maximized the ROI from customer-owned conduits, consistently meeting target goals for four consecutive months. Under my guidance, permit submissions tripled, and I ensured ongoing adherence to regional standards. I also coordinated construction resources effectively, overseeing everything from crew assignments to incident management. Show less

    • Student - Environmental Engineering
      • Jan 2011 - May 2014

      I worked with three other environmental engineering students to design a low-cost and electricity-free water filtration unit capable of reducing concentrations of uranium, arsenic, and bacteria in contaminated feed waters to levels below the maximum contamination limit as set by the Safe Drinking Water Act. Work involved literature review, generation of proposal, experimental design, prototype fabrication, water sample analysis, economic analysis, report writing, client meetings, website design using Adobe Dreamweaver, and oral presentations. The focus of the project was to aid the residents of the former Bennett Freeze Area of the Navajo Nation. A working prototype that satisfied all design criteria and constraints was demonstrated. I was awarded my B.S. in Environmental Engineering from Northern Arizona University in May, 2014. The curriculum of this program focused on: air quality calculations, stack design, emissions monitoring and modeling, and air emissions regulations; water quality calculations, water treatment unit design, constructed wetlands design, alternative and sustainable procurement design techniques, water transport techniques and design, water quality monitoring, recreational and commercial remediation techniques, and water quality regulations; solid and hazardous waste calculations, solid and hazardous waste facility design, design techniques, waste to energy facility design, facility operations, solid and hazardous waste federal and state regulations; general engineering curriculum included: statics, mechanics, thermodynamics, hydraulics, geotechnical engineering, and surveying; general curriculum includes differential calculus, chemistry, biology, statics, mechanics, thermodynamics, organic chemistry, and physics.
