Work History
Project Intern
Austin Commercial
Lehi, UT
05.2025 - 08.2025
- Supported superintendents on LFAB2 Semiconductor Fab (largest commercial construction project in Utah state history); tracked daily installs and closed field issues to keep schedule adherence on target.
- Conducted quantity takeoffs and cost/schedule updates using Autodesk Build and BIM 360; maintained look-ahead accuracy within ±5%.
- Performed QC walks on rebar, formwork, and steel; logged non-conformances and verified corrections, reducing repeat issues.
- Reviewed submittals and ran clash detection in BIM 360, surfacing constructability risks early and preventing costly rework.
- Contributed to logistics and safety huddles; created progress note template that cut superintendent follow-up time by 30 minutes/day.
