Summary

As a Quality Assurance Inspector, I have extensive experience conducting inspections on high-profile construction projects, including the largest cable stayed bridge in North America, the Gordie Howe International Bridge. I work closely with superintendents, engineers, and contractors to ensure that all work adheres to project specifications and standards. I am highly skilled in material testing and analysis, ensuring that concrete and other construction materials meet required standards for quality and durability. I also conduct thorough site inspections to identify and mitigate potential safety hazards. Leveraging my technical expertise, I have implemented software to automate daily reporting, increasing efficiency and accuracy for myself and my inspection team.
