Mr. Beck has also performed all of the duties of a Resident Engineer on two major highway interchange projects.  He is very familiar with the many elements of a large scale bridge and highway improvement project, including all phases of falsework construction and removal, bridge, roadway, freeway and ramp construction, including extensive utility and storm drain construction.  During several of his projects he has monitored major freeway traffic control operations.  As the Assistant Resident Engineer and Inspector on the freeway interchange improvement projects in Stockton, one of which he was the sole inspector and administrator, Mr. Beck proved that he is capable of competently and effectively administering infrastructure projects with little or no oversight.  His ability to thoroughly document and administer the project in accordance with local agency requirements, as well as in accordance with the Caltrans’ Local Assistance Procedures (LAP) Manual, makes him well suited for any public works contracts.  He is eager to take on new challenges and has proven that he can excel in this type of an environment. Mr. Beck is well spoken and confident, has a positive and gregarious attitude, and has a tireless work ethic that sets him apart.  He also has a natural ability to quickly form positive and productive working relationships with all those with whom he associates.
