When managing multiple healthcare construction projects, I prioritize tasks by assessing project timelines, resource allocation, and deadlines. I make a project schedule using tools like Procore to ensure clarity, and I continuously communicate with my teams to address any roadblocks swiftly. This approach enhances productivity and ensures that all projects move forward efficiently.

In my previous roles, I have managed numerous healthcare construction projects, where I oversaw every phase, from design through to completion. This included collaborating closely with healthcare professionals to ensure compliance with specific regulations, maintaining a patient-friendly environment, and delivering projects on time and within budget. My healthcare project management experience has equipped me with unique insights into the demands of this critical sector.

Ensuring compliance with safety standards starts with conducting risk assessments and regular safety meetings on-site. I advocate for a Safety-First culture by training teams on best practices and using software to track any safety incidents. Additionally, I make it a point to stay updated on local and national safety regulations relevant to our projects.

I handle conflicts between stakeholders by first listening to each party’s concerns and understanding their perspectives. Facilitating open communication is key, and I aim to find common ground. If necessary, I mediate discussions to reach a collaborative solution that aligns with the project goals and maintains relationships.

For my role as a Construction Project Manager, tools like Microsoft Office and Procore Project Management Software are essential. They help me manage schedules, budgets, and communication effectively. Leveraging these tools allows me to keep track of project milestones and collaborate efficiently with team members and stakeholders.

I once managed a healthcare facility project that faced unexpected delays due to supply chain issues. To overcome this, I quickly organized alternative suppliers and adjusted the project timeline to accommodate the changes while keeping stakeholders informed. By proactively resolving issues and maintaining open communication, I was able to keep the project moving toward completion.

I believe in leading by example when it comes to mentorship. I take the time to guide junior team members through various aspects of project management, sharing my experiences and insights. I also encourage continuous learning by providing opportunities for training and professional development, which helps build a stronger team.

To ensure that a project stays within budget, I start with detailed cost estimates and closely monitor expenses throughout the project's lifecycle. Regular budget reviews and communication with team members and stakeholders allow us to address any budget concerns as they arise. Additionally, building contingency plans helps mitigate any potential overspending.

In my project management experience, I have been heavily involved in contract negotiation and compliance. I ensure that all contracts are thoroughly reviewed for risks and adhere to regulatory requirements. My approach includes consulting legal teams as needed and fostering positive relationships with vendors to create win-win situations during negotiations.

I admire Wolverine Building Group’s commitment to quality in construction and its focus on making a positive impact on communities. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the team’s high standards while helping lead innovative healthcare projects that serve the public good.
