Alfredo D’Amelio
Project Engineer
In my role as a Project Manager on the residential construction side, I have successfully overseen the full lifecycle of home building projects—from pre-construction through to Certificate of Occupancy and final closing. My responsibilities include coordinating and
managing multiple trade partners, maintaining project schedules, meeting critical deadlines, and ensuring adherence to budget constraints. I consistently ensure high standards of quality and compliance with local building codes. Through proactive problem-solving and clear communication, I’ve helped streamline operations, reduce delays, and maintain strong working relationships with vendors, contractors, and internal teams. My focus remains on delivering projects on time, within budget, and to the satisfaction of both clients and company expectations.
As a Project Manager in a civil engineering firm, I oversee residential and commercial development projects with a focus on the construction phase. I manage internal design and engineering teams, subcontractors, and client relationships to ensure seamless execution of project goals. My responsibilities include coordinating project schedules, tracking progress using Teamwork software, and facilitating clear communication among all stakeholders.
I also play a key role in managing permitting processes and ensuring projects move efficiently from design through construction. By maintaining close contact with private developers, I help align technical solutions with client expectations, resolve field issues, and keep projects on track both financially and operationally. My goal is to ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and to the highest standards of quality and compliance.
