What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to enhance my skills in quality control and contribute to innovative construction projects.

With over 5 years of experience in the construction industry, I have honed my skills in ensuring the quality of materials used in concrete highways, bridges, and asphalt pavements. My expertise encompasses geotechnical testing, including soil and aggregate quality tests, as well as compressive and flexural testing. I am committed to maintaining high standards in construction projects, ensuring compliance with industry specifications.

In my current role as a Laboratory Technician II at the DPWH Bacolod City District Engineering Office, I conduct various tests on construction materials to verify their quality and consistency. I collaborate closely with project managers and engineers, providing insights and recommendations based on my analysis of test results. My ability to communicate findings effectively has been instrumental in driving quality improvements across projects.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, and I am currently enrolled at the University of Negros Occidental - Recoletos. I hold several certifications, including DPWH - BRS Accredited Laboratory Technician Level I and a TESDA certification in AutoCAD. I am passionate about advancing my career in civil engineering and contributing to impactful construction projects.
