Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
I am an ASQ Certified Quality Technician (CQT) with a Postgraduate degree in Quality Engineering Management and a Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering, passionate about driving excellence through data, process improvement, and compliance. With hands-on experience in both Construction and Nuclear Quality environments, I specialize in implementing Quality Management Systems (QMS) aligned with CSA N286-12, CSA N299.1-16, CSA N285, and ISO standards. At Bird Construction, I contributed to Nuclear projects by reviewing and improving quality documentation, supporting internal and external audits, and streamlining document control processes using InEight, SharePoint, and Power BI. I have strong experience preparing Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), Construction Work Packages (CWPs), and managing Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), Corrective Action Requests (CARs), and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) using tools such as 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagrams, and 8D Problem Solving. I also participated in TSSA audits, preparing materials and ensuring compliance with Nuclear Quality program requirements. I am passionate about leveraging data-driven quality tools, including Minitab, Power BI, and Lean methodologies, to enhance process efficiency, reduce non-conformances, and support organizational excellence. My experience spans inspection, auditing, CAPA implementation, and process improvement, guided by a strong foundation in civil and project engineering. As a professional, I value accuracy, accountability, and continuous learning, and I’m driven to contribute to organizations committed to high standards of quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Contributing to the Nuclear Quality team at Bird Construction, focusing on enhancing Quality Management Systems and supporting regulatory compliance. My key responsibilities include: 1. Digital Transformation: Led the transition of Nuclear QA documentation from static SharePoint PDFs to a paperless, controlled system within InEight, improving accessibility, traceability, and overall workflow efficiency. 2. Quality Documentation & Compliance: Supported the implementation and maintenance of QMS aligned with CSA N286-12, CSA N299.1-16, and CSA N285 standards, ensuring adherence to nuclear quality and safety program requirements. 3. Audit Preparation and Support: Assisting in preparation of NCRs, Cause Analysis Report, CARs, etc and coordination for TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Authority) Audits for Nuclear Pressure Boundary Vessel, ensuring compliance with Nuclear Quality Standards. 4. NCRs, CARs, and RCA Management: Prepared and tracked Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), Corrective Action Requests (CARs), and Cause Analysis Reports, performing Root Cause Analysis (RCA) using 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagrams, and 8D methodologies to ensure effective corrective and preventive actions. 5. Data Analytics & Reporting: Developed and maintained Power BI dashboards to monitor key quality metrics, trend analysis, and performance reports for Ontario Power Generation (OPG) Pickering projects, enabling data-driven decision-making. 6. Inspection & Verification: Reviewed Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), Construction Work Packages (CWPs), and material traceability documentation to verify compliance with project and client specifications. 7. Continuous Improvement & Collaboration: Worked closely with engineering, field, and document control teams to optimize QA/QC processes, enhance standardization, and promote a culture of safety, accountability, and excellence in nuclear quality operations.
