Summary

I am a dedicated geotechnical engineering technician with proven experience in quality assurance across multiple construction sites, managing projects with zero supervision. My strong ability to read and reference engineering plans, combined with effective communication skills, has enabled me to collaborate successfully with contractors to ensure all work meets specifications through stringent testing and inspections.

I hold certifications in Hazardous Material DOT Training, as well as in Portable Nuclear Gauge Use and Safety Training, which empower me to accurately assess contractors' compliance with compaction and moisture requirements while upholding safety standards. I excel in writing detailed reports for each test and inspection, compiling testing data and referencing plans and photographs to provide clients with clear documentation of compliance.

With a strong aptitude for problem-solving and a proactive approach, I have effectively represented my company in international settings, demonstrating responsibility and reliability in all aspects of my work.

  • I perform detailed laboratory testing on soil and material samples to determine their physical and mechanical properties, such as compaction, shear strength, and permeability. Precision and attention to detail are crucial to ensure accurate results that inform engineering decisions and design recommendations.
  • I prepare detailed reports summarizing site conditions, and test results, for foundation design and construction methods. Collaborate with engineers and project managers to ensure that geotechnical considerations are integrated into overall project planning and execution.
  • I conduct on-site investigations to collect soil and rock samples, perform on-site/off-site tests, and gather geotechnical data to assess subsurface conditions. This involves coordinating with drilling crews, collecting samples, and documenting findings accurately.
  • I travel internationally to conduct soil sampling and observations, coordinating logistics and communication between clients in other countries and the home office. This involves ensuring that project requirements are understood and met while facilitating the flow of information and updates.
