      Senior Floor Planner

      I manage a team of Floor Planners, and offer my assistance where I can, to ensure that we, as a group, are producing exhibit hall floor plans in a productive and timely manner. I use my connections with the local fire marshals and facility employees to ensure that the "show goes on without a hitch!" With over 21,000 meetings, seminars, expos, and conventions in Las Vegas each year, we certainly have our hands full!

      Using contacts and forming relationships to acquire leads for business. Follow up with the lead and determine if we would be a good fit for their needs and desires. Once the project has been awarded to us, I take over as project manager and organize their desires and meetings into legible and orderly notes/ sketches for the drafter to convert into shop drawings. Once i have reviewed the shop drawings for precision, clarity, and accuracy, then i establish further meetings to ensure the customer understands what is being designed. There may be many rounds of changes to the drawings, but once the drawings are done and approved, I send the info to the shop for construction. I then initiate a meeting with the CNC Operator, Shop Foreman, Operations Manager, and Onsite Project Manager, to get their understanding of the drawings and go over any questions on the project. Throughout the construction phase, i will check in on the project and do a personal quality control check to further ensure that any cabinet leaving the shop is ready to be delivered and installed. I coordinate delivery and installation schedules with the Onsite Manager and Operations Manager to get their teams organized. I periodically check on the installation progress and condition of the cabinetry as it's installed. Answering questions from homeowners, designers, and general contractors during the installation process and coordinating with the shop and installers if anything is damaged by other trades for repair or remaking. Once all construction has concluded, I walk the home with the homeowner and confirm completion of all cabinetry. Show less
