👷♂️Field lessons never come from a checklist; they come from experience.
After years in QA/QC in the Alberta Oil Sand, here’s what the field really taught me 👇
🤔The best inspectors are curious, not combative.
Ask why, not where’s that in the code?
🤝Building rapport on-site makes compliance smoother than any checklist.
📃When audits hit, documentation is your shield.
Protect your records before accountability comes knocking.
⚠️Safety and quality? Siamese twins.
You can’t protect one without the other.
🗣️ Communication beats hierarchy.
Speak up early; silence costs more than rework.
📚 Standards evolve. Clients evolve.
Keep learning or get left behind. Education is a lifelong adventure.
👨🦲Respect every worker on-site.
Respect today earns trust and a lifelong relationship tomorrow.
🔥 Finally, enjoy the field.
That’s where real growth happens. The lessons you earn in the field stay with you forever.
