How can I become a QA QC Civil Engineer?

 

I am sharing my experience that how I became a QAQC Engineer…

After completing my diploma in civil engineering from North Calcutta Polytechnic, I have joined L&T construction as a QAQC Lab Technician and there learned every test by doing self-hand in under guidance of my Quality Head with parallel study of relative Code and specification.

 

After 1 year when I get confidence on monitoring all lab test activity and minimised the test error in front of client, then I take responsibility to preparing test reports for final submission and day by day I became expert and my senior had taught me and given more responsibility.

 Finally, after 3 year I become a QA QC Civil Engineer.
