Fractional Project Engineering & Management

Mechanical engineering depth.
Capital project execution.

I drove daily execution on a $100M CapEx manufacturing line and coordinated 15+ overhead crane installations at Trane Technologies. Now I bring that hands-on experience to your projects — fractionally, without the full-time overhead.

Hands-on capital project experience

What I bring to the table

Not a generalist. Not a consultant who's never been in the field. A mechanical engineer with three years of capital project execution at scale.

Real CapEx Experience

Led daily execution on a $100M manufacturing line — meetings, phase/gate management, contractor coordination, and milestone delivery. Not theory. Actual capital project work.

CAPM-Certified Discipline

PMI Certified Associate in Project Management with hands-on documentation: PFMEA, DFM, standard work, PFEP, risk assessments, and RFI/RFP processes.

Mechanical Engineering Depth

B.S. Mechanical Engineering + CSWA certification. I understand the technical side — the equipment, the process, and the engineering constraints behind every schedule decision.

Process

How I work with clients

Clear scope, active execution, clean closeout. No surprises.

01

Scope Intake

We talk through your project — timeline, constraints, team structure, and what success looks like. I ask the questions an experienced PM asks, not a salesperson.

02

Engagement Plan

I map out exactly where I plug in: meetings to own, documentation to build, vendors to coordinate. You get a clear written scope before we begin.

03

Active Execution

I'm in the work — leading cross-functional meetings, tracking phase/gate milestones, managing contractor timelines, and keeping stakeholders aligned at every step.

04

Handoff & Closeout

Project close includes full documentation packages, lessons learned, and a clean handoff so your team owns everything that comes next.
