Work History

Inspector

Gold Coast Utility Specialist
Houston, TX

I was the inspector for all new and existing construction for transmission, substation and distribution. I also worked on desktop and drone inspections.

This assignment in Northern California primarily centered around going out to substations/distribution/transmission structure locations assigned by Pacific Gas Electric (PGE) in groups of approximately 100 structures in a somewhat specific area or country, and inspected the structure and its components for damage or non-exempt equipment status (components that have the potential for causing or producing sparks that could result in a fire).
