About David Benn

As a dedicated and multifaceted professional, I bring a wealth of experience and a deep passion for quality management, safety, and construction inspection. With a career spanning over two decades, I've honed my skills across various roles, from hands-on construction labor to high-level quality and safety management.Currently, as the Deputy Quality Manager, Radiation Safety Officer (RSO), and Safety Officer at Northwest Geotech, Inc / Northwest Testing, Inc., I leverage my diverse background to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety in all our projects. My role involves supervising field activities, managing quality assurance processes, and maintaining stringent safety protocols. I thrive in collaborative environments where attention to detail and proactive problem-solving are crucial.Previously, at Otak, I served as a Construction Inspector, where I had the opportunity to oversee a range of infrastructure projects, including bridges and urban street upgrades. My work involved rigorous inspections and close collaboration with stakeholders to ensure compliance with plans, codes, and regulations. Highlights include leading the inspection for the OR-219 The Dalles Bridge project and contributing to significant upgrades across the state.My experience extends to roles such as QC Inspector at Northwest Pipe Company and Fought & Company Inc., where I specialized in welding inspections, non-destructive testing, and quality control. I’ve also managed federally funded projects as an Owner-General Contractor at DRBGC, LLC where I excelled in project management and client relations.In addition to my technical expertise, my entrepreneurial spirit led me to open and manage Beezoo Exchange, a successful retail store in Portland, where I motivated a team to achieve significant profitability and recognition.My journey began in the U.S. Navy Seabees, where I developed a strong foundation in steel work, welding, and safety, while earning a "Secret" security clearance. This military experience instilled in me the discipline and dedication that continue to drive my career.With a solid educational background in Building Inspection Technology from Portland Community College and a diverse skill set accumulated through various roles, I am committed to delivering excellence and contributing to the success of every project I undertake.
