My name is Joshua S. Brigman. I graduated from the architecture program at the California State Polytechnic University of Pomona in 2009.
I have worked on a variety of projects including residential and commercial adaptive reuse, historic preservation, multi-family housing, mixed use developments, a LEED certified institutional building, design/build transportation systems, telecommunications projects, fiber designs, generator designs, and utility coordination.
Over the last 10 years I have primarily focused on architecture and engineering for the telecommunications sector. In that time, I have led teams of up to 8 drafters to meet client deadlines. I have coordinated hiring and management of contractors including civil engineers, private utility coordinators, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, structural engineers, landscape architects, and soils engineers. I have served as the point of contact for general contractors during the construction process. I have been responsible for budgeting, profitability, invoicing, and billing. I have permitted 400+ projects in 100+ Southern California jurisdictions.
Tectonic Engineering Consultants, Newport Beach, CA, US, Project Manager
In addition to the responsibilities I held in my previous position, the project manager role called for an increased emphasis on budgeting and profitability. I created reports detailing the time each employee could spend on each billable task. I was responsible for my department’s monthly invoicing/billing. Each week, I led a nationwide company status call.
Jeffrey Rome & Associates, Newport Beach, CA, US, Job Captain / Senior Designer
I managed the design, permitting, and construction of over 350 telecom sites. I consistently led a team of 4 to 8 drafters to meet deadlines. I coordinated hiring and management of contractors including civil engineers, private utility coordinators, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, structural engineers, landscape architects, and soils engineers. Once the permits were pulled, I served as the point of contact for general contractors. This job allowed me to be involved with many aspects of an architecture firm.
Transportation Innovations Group/Manufacturing (TIG/m), Chatsworth, CA, US, Designer / Draftsman
In this design/build office, I served as liaison between the design staff and the shop staff. I created detailed shop drawings for streetcar vehicles. I researched and developed construction techniques for rail and vehicle design. I used my digital graphic skills to create new business opportunities for the company.
