Claudio is a very knowledgeable and detail oriented Project Controls Manager. He is capable of managing very large capital projects and ensuring that cost and schedule are on track and all deviations to the plan are reported and managed carefully. He was a great asset to our group and will prove to be an excellent employee to any lucky company who hires him!

Claudio was in charge of cost control on two projects under my direction in Chile, during my tenure at Freeport McMoRan. His attention to detail and analytical ability consistently produced accurate and detailed cost forecasts, and his ability to hone in on discrepancies that could potentially distort the cost information prevented the project from submitting errors or inaccuracies to senior management. Claudio brings a lot of talent and work ethic to any project or company he is associated with, and I would gladly employ him on any project under my direction. I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to work with Claudio again in the future.
