Summary
At Ultra Infrastructure Remediation, I contributed to critical infrastructure restoration projects across water, sewer, and civil sectors. My responsibilities included concrete surface preparation, manhole and pump station refurbishment, hydro demolition, and application of protective coatings such as epoxy and shotcrete. I consistently followed strict safety protocols, met coating and surface standards, and worked both independently and within teams to deliver high-quality, durable outcomes. My role required precision, efficiency, and a strong understanding of structural repair techniques and industry compliance.
