Construction Project Engineer

Built right. Documented right.

I’m Andrei — I keep industrial and road projects moving from the first RFI to final closeout. Clean as-builts, accurate progress billing, and turnover packages that get accepted the first time.

Expertise

The work
behind the work.

The part of a project that doesn’t show up in site photos — but decides whether it closes on time and gets paid in full.

Closeout & as-built documentation

Complete turnover packages — covered-work inspection reports, as-built surveys, daily logs and certificates — assembled, checked and accepted by the owner.

RFIs & design coordination

I read drawings and specs against each other, catch conflicts before they reach the field, write clear RFIs and track every change to approval.

Quantity takeoff & progress billing

Field-verified installed quantities and monthly pay applications built against the schedule of values — numbers the owner can sign off on.

Scheduling & work planning

Construction schedules, work execution plans and method statements that crews can actually follow.

One point of contact

Owner, owner’s inspectors, designers and subcontractors — I run the technical conversation through inspections, punch lists and acceptance.

Document control that scales

Templates, registers and review steps that make paperwork faster for the whole team. Backed by a master’s in business informatics and hands-on IT administration.

Experience

Two years. Three contractors.
One focus: closeout.
