Melvin Utterback Project Manager Mel@tfrinc.com 601 Leander Drive Leander, Texas 78641 M: (606) 776-9782 Introduction Melvin Utterback became an integral part of the TFR Team in 2004 when he came on board to assist in the clean-up efforts following Hurricane Ivan. TFR was called upon for immediate support in debris removal and hazardous tree trimming at the Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola. Mel proved to be a capable self-loading grapple truck operator, as well as an excellent equipment operator with effective leadership skills. With the specialized skills and teamwork attitude that Mel possesses, he earned a swift promotion to Project Manager for TFR. After Katrina hit the Mississippi-Louisiana coast in 2005, Mel was called to the lead at Gulfport Navy Base and Belle Chase Naval Air station in New Orleans. Conditions at the bases were extremely primitive, Mel and his team slept on the ground for 6 weeks while building a man cap out of a golf course for the military and Seabees. Because of his accurate documentation, strict adherence to Job Safety Analysis, and Zero Defects, Mel is TFR’s go-to Senior Project Manager for Federal Contracts and Military installations. Mr. Utterback can successfully lead debris management crews in all operations; debris hauling, ROW emergency push, hazardous tree work, large and multiple debris site management, and grinding operations to load and haul out and final disposal. Mel has successfully managed emergency debris projects for TFR for over 17 years and has had zero recordable injuries throughout his tenure with the company. Mr. Utterback’s effective communication skills and experience with critical logistics planning continue to earn him excellent project evaluations from Emergency Debris Management contracts managed under his direction.
