Background

About Roderick Dsouza

I am a construction management and engineering professional with 10 years of experience across North America, the Middle East, and Asia. I specialize in project management, MEP coordination, and supply chain management. In every project I take on, I commit to continuous learning and evolving my skills. I believe that each industry brings unique challenges, and by staying curious and adaptable, I can thrive no matter what the field demands. Success to me is where I am personally fulfilled and the way I would measure it would be the tangible impacts I’ve had on others’ lives and the community I am a part of. Success also involves where I am continuously learning and growing. This could be measured by the diversity of the roles and challenges undertaken. Success involves work-life balance which means when I look back I would have had the ability to manage career demands with my personal life. Core Values I believe in respecting and valuing others' feelings and perspectives in all my interactions. I also value compassion through empathy and kindness because it creates a supportive environment. Honesty and fairness build trust in my relationships. I'm dedicated to personal growth, always learning and striving to be my best self. What I Bring to the Table -I have hands-on experience managing multi-million-dollar projects and working with vendors, which supports building budgets, controlling costs, and pricing change orders. I continuously seek ways to improve my financial oversight skills-I have led on-site teams and coordinated with various stakeholders, which has helped me handle project scheduling and participate effectively in pre and post-construction meetings. I remain open to learning new methods to further refine these skills-Regular engagement with clients, engineers, and subcontractors has been a key part of my roles. I value clear communication and continually strive to enhance my ability to foster strong, effective relationships-I work hard to contribute to a safe work environment. I am always looking for opportunities to learn and improve my methods of maintaining and exceeding safety and process standards-With a strong grasp of BlueBeam, Procore, and MS Project, I apply my knowledge of construction drawings, contracts, scheduling, and estimation processes to every project. I continuously seek to expand my technical skills and analytical capabilities to better serve each project’s unique needs. “Failure is the information you need to get where you’re going.” - Rick Rubin
