Summary
My objective is to obtain employment in a company to further my career in the construction/engineering field. I have worked as an Engineering Technician/Inspector for nine years. I am proficient in an extensive variety of laboratory testing, including multiple soil, concrete, and asphalt tests. Most recently I've worked as a field representative on the Cobb County DOT SPLOST program. I spent two years working on asphalt paving projects in Dekalb County. I also have experience working on large scale projects such as the Transform I285/400 Project. My responsibilities during this time include testing, inspection, and reporting on construction activities including asphalt paving, concrete work, and earthworks operations. Occupying a variety of roles within the Inspection/Quality Control fields has allowed me to gain a unique and valuable skillset I hope to apply to future projects. Most recently I've worked as a field representative on the Cobb County DOT SPLOST program.
