  • Conduct field testing, review laboratory material reports (e.g., concrete strength, soil compaction), and approve raw materials arriving on-site.
    
  • Interpret complex technical drawings, specifications, and codes to resolve quality-related ambiguities for field crews.
    
  • Audit safety procedures during inspections to ensure work is being executed in compliance with OSHA standards and quality guidelines.
