Coffman Engineers Anchorage Project Manager Earns Professional Certification

A project manager in Coffman Engineers’ corrosion control department earned her Project Management Professional certificate. Michelle McGinnis joined Coffman in 2014 and has provided project controls and management services for numerous projects in the oil and gas, commercial construction, and hospitality industries.

Apart from being a certified cathodic protection technician, McGinnis’ role as a project manager includes overseeing, reviewing, and drafting project documentation, as well as overseeing company-wide project controls activities. She manages projects throughout the entire cycle of planning, executing, monitoring, and closing phases, managing project scopes, budgets, forecasts, schedules, and contracts. McGinnis is also the corporate safety coordinator for Coffman, part of a committee that oversees training, records, federal reporting, and client compliance.

McGinnis graduated from UAA with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She is currently working toward a master’s degree in business administration.

“Michelle excels in all that she does,” says Dan Stears, vice president of corrosion control, “and this latest accomplishment further exemplifies her continued development and leadership in the project controls/corrosion control groups.”
