During the 20 years of experience in construction inspections, I can say that the past four years have been like no other. Just being involved in the construction of a "State-of-the-art" Water Treatment Facility for the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County has caused such an impact on me, that I've grown in so many levels. This project is one of the most complex projects that I have ever been involved with, especially while taking on the role of "Lead Inspector". This position has given me the opportunity to work with a team of seasoned senior inspectors, who collectively bring over 100 years of experience to the project. Working closely with the resident engineer, and having the responsibility in reviewing project plans, handling requests for information (RFIs), reviewing submittals, and ensuring that construction methods executed by the contractors align with project specifications and requirements. The experience and growth gained from working on this "Advanced Water Treatment Facility Project" has been invaluable. I am passionate about my work and always strive to maintain integrity in everything I do. Overall, I am confident that with my extensive experience, plus the ability to lead will make me a more valuable asset as a senior inspector.
