- Independently completed field assignments across 15+ projects using Wenner-array electrical resistivity, MASW, magnetometry, GPR, private utility locating, Emlid positioning, and electromagnetic locating equipment.
- Calibrated an L&R MiniRes resistivity meter; troubleshot MASW, resistivity, and magnetometry systems; maintained positioning, field notes, and pre-task quality and safety checks.
- Processed MASW data in SurfSeis6 and prepared Excel-based reports for approximately 20 electrical-resistivity lines, organizing processed data and field summaries for review.
- Led two-person crews, reviewed project scopes, assigned tasks, coordinated with project managers and onsite contractors, and revised ineffective survey layouts approximately 25 times.
- Collected 100+ Wenner resistivity lines, four MASW lines, GPR data, approximately 15 acres of Magnetometry coverage, one private utility-clearance site, and 50+ positioning points.
- Located and marked utilities and subsurface anomalies, including an unmarked gas tank that prompted relocation of a planned drilling location.

St. Louis, Missouri
- Performed construction materials testing across approximately 30 sites: 50 fresh-concrete tests, 20 compressive-strength tests, 15 Atterberg limits, 10 nuclear-density tests, and two Proctor tests.
- Identified and escalated approximately four out-of-specification results while maintaining ASTM procedures, field documentation, and quality standards.
- Supported electrical-resistivity and seismic data collection through survey setup, equipment checks, calibration records, and site documentation.
