Project Manager relocating to Newnan GA

Hello from Newnan GA, with over 25 years of construction experience in the US and UK, I have delivered large-scale infrastructure projects, including Grid PV systems, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Data System Interconnection, from pre-construction conception to grid interconnection. My career reflects a consistent ability to lead complex projects to successful outcomes through strategic leadership, technical expertise, a commitment to innovation, while maintaining a flexible attitude to project progress.

While employed as Project Manager in Renewables, I achieved:

• Secured $5.6M in change orders, maintaining schedules and budgets despite permitting delays and design revisions.
• Delivered more than $250K in savings by optimizing workforce utilization, procurement strategies and innovative approach to project delivery.
• Achieved a 24% profit margin on a $36M project, balancing expanded workforce demands with cost controls.

These accomplishments highlight my core principles:

Beyond project management, I bring expertise in OSHA Compliance. QA-QC protocols, DC MV and Data Communication commissioning, and testing for PV, BESS, Comms and System Automation. My credentials include Master Electrical Contractor licenses in multiple states, certifications in PV and BESS fire safety, and advanced risk management training, enabling me to deliver first-time approvals, timely handovers, and superior quality outcomes.

I am passionate about advancing safe and efficient construction initiatives and would welcome the opportunity to bring my expertise to your team. I look forward to discussing how I can support your project goals.

Sincerely,
Chris O’Connor
