Rohnert Park

Summary

RewDetail-oriented Inspector offering 7-year background checking incoming and outgoing materials and products for conformance. Familiar with multiple quality testing machines. Hardworking individual skillful in conducting accurate visual and measurement tests and preparing and maintaining comprehensive inspection reports and records. Team player committed to collaborating and working cross-functionally to meet all milestones and schedules. Dedicated to Structural Integrity and the Ethics code of the Inspector. Primary reason for leaving last position was to honor to the code over keeping employment. From the First Foundation Pier to the last coat of paint I've been involved in many types projects: Hospitals, Hotels, Water Airports, Water Treatment Plants, Bridges, Tunnels, Dams, Air Force Bases, Naval Shipyards, Fabrication Shops, Stadiums, Parking Structures, Air-Trains, Cal-Trans, NASA Ames, Tesla, Amazon, Residential, Seismic Retrofitting, Landmark Restorations, Artificial Lagoon, and even an Artificial Forest. The projects change, but the players are always the the same: Engineers, Owners, Contractors, Inspectors. The way I see it is the plans are drawn, the rules are laid, the deal's made, if you don't get greedy we'll all get paid, and I guarantee it's cheaper if it's done right the first time. Mistakes can be fixed and plans can be changed, but if you try to cheat me Today you'll just be fixing it Tomorrow.
