TRENT CLONINGER

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE


I started my career in the construction industry in 1977 as a part-time laborer while going to school and working with the Catawba County EMS and Sheriffs Department. In 1988 I moved into an office position as an inventory specialist and estimator trainee. In 1990 I was promoted into an estimator and project manager role. In 1994 I became certified as a licensed contractor and still hold that license today. Through my career in the construction industry I have gained experience with estimating, project managing, executive management residential, commercial and NCDOT Highway projects.
