Jim Dent Construction

• Tretheway Creek Hydroelectric Project

• Assistant Project Manager / Design Coordinator

  • Mar 2014 - Apr 2015

  As Project and Design Coordinator with Jim Dent Construction (JDC) I am responsible for the overall coordination of all primary stakeholders involved in the project. Primary stakeholders include, the design engineers, the client, primary subcontractors and suppliers. It is my responsibility to ensure that these stakeholders’ questions get answered and that their issues get addressed and resolved. Ensuring that these parties execute their deliverables on time and correctly is of my utmost concern. As this is a design build project, these task may be quite challenging. Additional duties include, revising and submitting the master and three-week schedules, issuing and answering RFI’s, forming and updating the project and company directories, leading project wide coordination meetings, approving work plans, hosting project meetings with primary stakeholders when necessary, reviewing all design drawings for constructability, as well as ensuring that JDC, the client and the primary subcontractors and suppliers needs and requirements are met in a timely fashion. I am also responsible for the logistics and procurement of all major equipment and materials. These items would include the powerhouse superstructure, intake gates, Coanda screen, overhead powerhouse crane, auxiliary and monorail hoist systems, miscellaneous metals, actuators and trashracks. I ensure that these items comply with the Design Basis Report (DBR) and the hydro mechanical functional requirements, to confirm all components fit the design and are cross checked with what is being built in the field.

• Project Manager

  • Nov 2011 - Mar 2014

  As a Project Manager at FMI, a multi-disciplined industrial contracting company, I have managed up to 6 projects at a time ranging from small to med-large sized projects. Upon award of a contract and review of tender documents with the estimators, I would develop various items and processes that were needed during project start up and execution, such as baseline schedules, SUB, FAM, RFI templates, correspondence logs, letters of delegation, progress payment estimates, work change estimates, complete monthly invoicing, project kick off meetings, construction progress meetings, commissioning meetings, status reports, project close out reports, etc. During the projects duration, monitoring cost and schedule performance, as well as supervising the Construction Manager and Field Superintendents. Additionally, I would manage extra work, bid to construct claims and related schedule and monetary contract claims. These would be processed with contract amendments which I would draft. As the Corporate Quality Manager, I was responsible for implementing and maintaining the project specific Quality Assurance Plans (QAP) and for producing the various ITP’s and checklists needed for all project specific operations. Additional responsibilities included, performing scheduled site and supplier audits and submitting the results of these audits to management and the client. I would lead the compilation of lengthy QA closeout packages that were submitted to the client upon project completion. Show less



Amec Foster Wheeler

• United Kingdom
• Oil and Gas
• 700 & Above Employee

• Project Engineer / Mechanical Construction Coordinator

  • Nov 2010 - Nov 2011

  As an Assistant Project Manager, I worked under the lead PM during the various project phases. Coordination with all other project leads to ensure their deliverables were up to standard and were submitted on time was a daily priority. I would compile these complete packages and present them to the BC Hydro executive to request more project funding and to advance the project to the next phases, at “gate” meetings. I would attend these meetings along with the lead PM and provide support as necessary. All of these projects were for the GM Schrum Generating Station, at the W.A.C. Bennett Dam, the largest generating station in British Columbia. As a Project Engineer / Mechanical Construction Coordinator with AMEC, a supplier of consultancy, engineering and project management services, my role was to support the PM’s with early development of individual projects as well as execution on site. This included ensuring that the correct and successful implementation of the installation and commissioning activities were conducted by the Contractors on site. I would inspect and subsequently approve or reject all mechanical equipment, piping and installations on the project and sign off on these once completed to the required standard, all while monitoring the contractor in terms of safety, quality, cost and schedule. Managing discipline specific engineering resources, both on and off site and reporting daily to the site lead was an ongoing task. While at site, I trained BC Hydro Construction Officers in projecting future project costs and schedule forecasts. Show less

  • 2008 - 2010

  As a Superintendent with Kiewit, my responsibilities included operation planning, cost control, project scheduling, quantity tracking, material procurement, contract administration, estimating and supervision of field activities. I also generated, executed and maintained records regarding job progress, costs and materials. Field Engineer and then Superintendent for both the scaling, drill and shoot, as well as the intake mechanical operations at the East Toba and Montrose Hydro Electric Project were other positions held within the company. I assisted with the successful estimate of the Port Mann Highway 1 project (PMH1). At that time, this was the largest contract in Kiewit history. I was responsible for conducting quantity take offs and reporting out to the lead estimator. Following this successful bid, I estimated 28 separate run-of-the-river hydroelectric facilities where quantity take offs and assisting the design engineers with determining the ideal penstock route and intake and powerhouse locations were my responsibility. These determinations were largely based on field studies and investigations that were done as a team in the feasibility stages. Show less
