Field Trajectory

Over a decade of driving massive structural projects from blueprint to ribbon-cutting.

2019 — Present

Lead Project Manager

Apex Commercial Builders • New York, NY
  • Orchestrated the delivery of a $45M high-rise mixed-use development, bringing the project to completion 2 months ahead of the baseline schedule.
  • Implemented advanced lean construction methodologies, directly reducing material waste by 18% and saving $850K in overhead.
  • Integrated Procore and BIM 360 across all subcontractor tiers, accelerating RFI turnaround times by 40%.
  • Maintained a spotless safety record across 500,000+ man-hours through rigorous daily OSHA-compliant site audits.
2014 — 2019

Senior Site Superintendent

Keystone Infrastructure • Chicago, IL
  • Managed daily site operations for three concurrent municipal bridge reconstruction projects valued at $110M.
  • Optimized heavy machinery supply chain and concrete pouring schedules, saving $1.2M in potential delay penalties.
  • Led a multi-disciplinary field team of 120+ union workers, fostering a culture of accountability and precision.
  • Negotiated successfully with local authorities to reroute traffic logistics, minimizing public disruption by 30%.
2010 — 2014

Civil & Structural Engineer

Vanguard Construct • Seattle, WA

Key Developments

A selection of major infrastructure and commercial builds I have directed, showcasing structural complexity and sustainable execution.

High-rise construction site with cranes

The Lumina Tower

Case Study: Directed the ground-up construction of a 42-story mixed-use commercial tower in a dense urban grid. Achieved LEED Gold certification by implementing greywater recycling systems and high-efficiency HVAC units. Overcame severe logistical constraints for concrete pours by utilizing night-shift scheduling and synchronized trucking logistics.

Steel framework of a large transit hub

Horizon Transit Hub

Case Study: Acted as Senior Superintendent for a massive intermodal transit facility. Coordinated the erection of 5,000 tons of structural steel while maintaining operations of adjacent active rail lines. Developed a proprietary 4D schedule in Navisworks to visually track steel beam placement, preventing spatial clashes and ensuring zero safety stand-downs.

Eco-Campus Research Facility

Case Study: Led the construction of a state-of-the-art university laboratory built primarily using Mass Timber (CLT). The project required strict humidity controls during the build phase to protect the wood elements. Integrated a 500kW rooftop solar array and geo-thermal heating system, bringing the building to net-zero energy standards.

Cable-stayed pedestrian bridge over water

Riverside Pedestrian Bridge

Case Study: Engineered and managed the site execution of a 300-meter cable-stayed pedestrian bridge over an active waterway. Utilized carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) to reduce overall weight while maximizing tensile strength. Coordinated complex marine barge lifts for the central pylon installation.

Endorsements

Testimonials from industry leaders, developers, and architectural partners.

"Marcus is a force of nature on the job site. His ability to foresee structural clashes in the BIM phase and rectify them before a single yard of concrete is poured saved our investment group millions. A true leader in modern construction management."

Sarah Jenkins
VP of Real Estate Development, Horizon Group

"Working alongside Marcus on the Eco-Campus was a masterclass in logistics. He balanced rigorous sustainability requirements with a brutal schedule, keeping over 20 subcontractors aligned. He commands respect through competence and fairness."

David Chen, AIA
Principal Architect, Studio Arch+

"In heavy civil infrastructure, safety and precision are non-negotiable. Marcus enforced a safety culture that permeated every level of the site. His technical engineering background combined with sheer field grit makes him an unparalleled asset."
