01 / Project

Theodoros joined Oriana I & Oriana II in Puerto Rico on 30 July 2016 as Construction Foreman for contractor KKM, across a combined 60 MW of utility-scale solar construction.

02 / Challenge

An international construction environment required close coordination between the contractor and the local Puerto Rican workforce.

03 / Responsibility

As the only member of the contractor team who could communicate in English, he became the primary communication link with the local Puerto Rican workforce — in addition to his Foreman responsibilities.

04 / Action

  • Communicated work requirements to the local workforce.
  • Coordinated field activities across both project sites.
  • Helped bridge language and communication gaps between the contractor and local workers.
  • Supported execution of Oriana I and Oriana II through to completion.

05 / Outcome

Contributed to the completion of construction across the two projects.
