Page 2 of 5 Michael Hughes members would attest, I contributed significantly in all matters that came before the Board. Most of my years of engineering practice have been centric to water supply and wastewater engineering principally as a design consultant. Since taking on the new position at CDP, Inc. I have refined my project management credentials, and have been assisting with the deployment and training for our application suite to organizations all across the county, and in different sectors of the economy from defense contracting and national security, state and local government, and construction companies. My life-long work experiences are described on more detail in the paragraphs which follow. Mr. Hughes currently is Senior Product Specialist with CDP, Inc. In this capacity he has responsibility for training, support and deployment services associated with CDPâ €™s flagship partnerships with Oracle/Primavera Project Management and Scheduling, InEight Hard Dollar Cost Estimating, Kahau Project and Contract Management and Collaboration, Phoenix Project Management, and InEight InfinyD BIM Modeling and Project Management. He routinely teaches classes in project scheduling and consults with CDP clients on best practices and trouble-shooting complex schedules. In addition, his years of experience in construction and engineering design provide a valuable resource to the CDP client base in all of the application areas of the flagship partners. Prior to joining CDP, Inc., between 2005 and 2015, Mr. Hughes served as Assistant Engineering Manager and as Contract Management Engineer for the Department of Public Works, City of Durham, North Carolina. In the capacity as the Assistant Engineering Manager and was responsible for the operations of the Engineering Division which is comprised of the Survey, Design, Contracting and Construction Inspections groups. All totaled there are about 36 full- time staff which design and contract Public Works resurfacing and construction projects, as well as provide inspections services for City and commercial projects from the development community. Between 1991 and 2005, Mr. Hughes was the managing partner for his civil engineering and land-surveying firm. Under his direction the firm designed and supervised the construction of a number of residential subdivisions, shopping centers, and town home complexes across many jurisdictions in central North Carolina. The scope of these projects included many of the following tasks: 1) Land Planning, 2) Extensive drawing preparation for land-use and construction permits, 3) Participation in public meetings and hearings, 4) Detailed design of streets, water, sewer and storm water systems, 5) Erosion control design, 6) State highway road widening design and plan preparation, 7) Construction stakeout and sequencing, 8) Extensive Construction Management and Administration, 9) Bridge Design, and 10) Application for Section 404/401 Permits from the US Army Corps of Engineers and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Mr. Hughes returned to graduate school during the calendar year of 1990 to pursue advanced studies in environmental engineering at the University of North Carolina. During this year he took graduate level courses in the Mathematics Department and the Department of Environmental Engineering. The focus of these studies was directed toward gaining an understanding of the mathematics and architecture of three-dimensional finite element groundwater and contaminant transport modeling software. As a result of these efforts, he obtained computational experience optimizing a three-dimensional finite element groundwater flow modeling code and adapting the code to the parallel processing architecture on Convex and Cray supercomputers. After earning his Masterâ€™s Degree in Environmental Engineering in 1978, Mr. Hughes worked for Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. until 1990 in the various capacities listed below. 21
