- Construction LitigationWhile serving as Chief of the Construction Contract Administration Branch, in the Construction Division, at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District, I took meaningful action to turn around a struggling team. I leveraged the Federal Career Intern Program and hand selected three highly qualified Engineers and a Technical Assistant to infuse new ideas and fresh talent into the Branch. I guided staff in establishing better Quality Control measures and standards. I reenergized the team, and morale, performance, and customer service improved, leading to the successful and expeditious execution of a number of civil and military construction projects worth in excess of $140M annually. I developed contract administration policy and training publications, and developed/taught the Contracting Overview class to staff at military installations. I also applied my technical and legal knowledge in settling construction claims through fact-finding and negotiation that resulted in significant savings (approximately $1.2M), and earlier completions of military projects. Finally, I achieved DAWIA certification in contracting during my first year despite an extremely heavy workload.
