Background

About Chris Shorter

With over 20 years of experience in construction and manufacturing, I bring a deep understanding of how complex industrial systems come together—from the shop floor to multimillion-dollar federal construction projects. My career began as a machinist, progressed through mechanical design, and evolved into managing large-scale federal construction for the US Army Corps of Engineers. Currently overseeing a portfolio of federal projects valued at over $200 million, I lead a small, high-performing team of consultants to deliver mission-critical infrastructure with precision, accountability, and results. I specialize in schedule analysis, quality assurance, change management, and contract oversight—ensuring that every project milestone is met and every stakeholder expectation is exceeded. Known for delivering under pressure and navigating complex requirements with limited resources, I thrive in environments where strategic planning, technical depth, and hands-on leadership are essential. Whether it’s developing project scopes, mentoring staff, or ensuring subcontractor compliance, I’m driven by a commitment to excellence in service of our federal mission.
