Bio
Sumit Verma
I had an opportunity to work with Pradip as his client while he was a civil engineer for Build Change. He led the reconstruction in several earthquake-affected zones from Build Change with funding support from the government of Nepal and international NGOs. He was a very detail-oriented engineer with a strong work ethic. He communicated well with the engineers, contractors, inspectors, and government agencies and was very good at multitasking, managing, and meeting deadlines. He was a technically sound, bright engineer who came up with practical solutions for challenges onsite.

I was Pradip’s mentor when he worked as a summer 2018 intern at our Eclipse office in Cleveland, Ohio. While I had known Pradip at Bowling Green University, we learned about his technical engineering and estimating skills at Eclipse Company. He quickly grasped the concepts and ideas of estimating for construction projects and became a favorite intern in the office within a week of his hire. He was detail-oriented, hardworking, and passionate about construction and engineering. He always asked the right questions, had critical thinking abilities, and communicated his ideas well.

May 2018 - Aug 2018
Utilized MS Project to prepare meticulous schedules for diverse construction works, encompassing roadways, reinforcement placement, road curbs, and footings for towers and buildings. Generated accurate cost estimates for construction projects, relying on meticulous material takeoff from drawings and supplier quotes, subsequently presenting the estimates to the client. Thrived in a collaborative subcontracting team environment, coordinating with estimators and project managers to document daily project progress and facilitate productive meetings. Demonstrated a seamless balance between fieldwork, conducting work inspections to ensure quality, and handling office responsibilities with RFI (Request for Information) and Submittals. This enriching internship experience in the US (after my move from Nepal to the US) has bolstered my skills and aptitude in civil engineering, equipping me to tackle challenges and contribute meaningfully to future projects within the industry.
