His engineering background has helped him have a better understanding of what the structural drawings should look like. He has also been in charge of setting the procedures for filing, indexing, and utilization of softcopies as well as hardcopies for our documents, codes, books, catalogues, correspondence, deliverables, submittals, etc. Given the dedication and enthusiasm that I have seen from him, I am sure he will be a successful team member in his new position as well "

"I had the privilege of working with Oscar between 2004 & 2008 where he worked as QA QC Engineer on 2 of our prestigeous building projects. Oscar was at that time the QA representative for the project and was responsible to ensure successful closeout of internal audit findings raised on the project. In my interactions with him, I have found Oscar to be extremely proactive always ready to learn from his past mistakes and ensure these are not repeated. All findings raised on the project were successfully closed out by him with corrective and preventive actions identified to prevent any recurrance. Oscar carries with him my best wishes in his future endevours."
