Mr. Villarreal is one of the presenters for Workshop M5, “Improving the Effectiveness of Risk Management Programs,” on Monday. He has been working in the construction industry for 11 years with experience in Commercial, Heavy Highway, and Residential sectors. He has spent time in the field working as a field engineer, project engineer, superintendent, and project manager. A sample of Mr. Villarreal’s list of projects include an air traffic control tower, a 400,000 square-foot convention center, a 300,000 square-foot historic building renovation at The University of Texas, and a 350,000 square-foot assisted living center.

Mr. Villarreal’s experience in the field is valuable when assisting field staff in developing procedures that assure quality standards are being maintained.

Mr. Villarreal is responsible for developing and implementing the safety, quality, and productivity process for all CF Jordan divisions and works closely with its project management team to ensure CF Jordan projects are in compliance and achieving set goals.

Mr. Villarreal uses his field experience to work closely with Jordan personnel in creating a team environment.
