Work History
Senior Structure Examiner
Inspire Structures
11.2019 - Current
- As a senior structures examiner, I’ve examined a variety of structures such as viaducts, bridges, retaining walls, and ancillary structures, providing both detailed, visual, and pan reports.
- I have experience with mentoring on site and helping with any questions or uncertainties. I also mentor reports, providing feedback in a positive manner to help as much as possible.
- I plan my upcoming work with precise planning techniques to ensure the completion of successful examinations and contact all relevant personnel who will be involved in the job.
- I use my knowledge to complete thorough site recons to establish the correct method needed for the examinations and highlight any possible problems that need resolving before attending site, such as vegetation, access, and any safety precautions.
- I produce reports at a great standard, and complete within the timescales provided.
- I am very safety critical and enforce that when working on any site.
