Jon Gormlie

As the Project Manager for the brake tester upgrade initiative, I successfully navigated the complexities of time and budget constraints to deliver the project on schedule and within financial parameters. I employed strategic planning and resource allocation to identify potential risks early, implementing mitigation strategies that ensured minimal disruption to workshop operations. By fostering clear communication among cross-functional teams and stakeholders, I maintained alignment on project goals and timelines. My proactive approach to problem-solving enabled me to address unforeseen challenges swiftly, resulting in enhanced equipment performance, and improved safety standards in the workshop. This project not only reinforced my project management skills but also demonstrated my ability to drive efficiency and innovation under pressure.
