Background

About Darelle Smith

Hello, my name is Darelle Smith. I received my degree in Civil Engineering from the United States Air Force Academy. I've spent three years delivering large-scale, highly complex projects performing construction on air fields and of power plants, water plants, wells, and defensive barriers in Germany and Africa. In pursuit of my Professional Engineer (PE) license, I've passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, giving me an Engineer-in-Training (E.I.T) designation. During my time in the Air Force, I've briefed Commanders multiple times on asset management, passed down disciplinary actions, and helped build relationships between military members and local nationals. As a Lieutenant, I beat out my peers and captains for opportunities because of my reputation as a superlative leader. I'm able to absorb new concepts and learn new fields rapidly. I've been recognized twice with the Company Grade Officer of the Quarter at both the Group and Squadron level. I am passionate about construction project management and am able to bring everyone together in pursuit of a single goal, and consistently deliver massive projects on time (or early), on budget, and with the highest quality. I'm excited about the next step in my career and look forward to my next big challenge.
