Md Riad Hasan

Civil Engineer with 6+ years' experience in structural concrete engineering and QA/QC, currently completing an industry-partnered PhD at Curtin University focused on durability assurance and sustainable materials — evaluating recycled aggregate concrete formulations for mechanical performance (compressive, tensile, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity) and long-term durability behaviour against AS 1012 and ASTM standards. Experienced reviewing structural drawings and specifications against AS 3600, AS 1379 and AS 1012 for material compliance and performance requirements on both new and existing structures. Strong background in reinforcement inspection (cover, lap lengths, bar placement — directly relevant to corrosion protection design), condition-style QA inspections, non-conformance investigation and corrective action reporting, and technical liaison with industry partners including Main Roads WA and Holcim.

Comfortable working across small and large-scale projects in a consulting environment, with excellent written and verbal communication skills developed through client and regulator liaison.

PhD Researcher, Sustainable Structural Concrete (Industry-Partnered) - Curtin University - Perth, WA

(2023-04)

• Developing structural concrete mix designs using recycled aggregates, investigating mechanical properties and durability behaviour for beams, columns, slabs and structural elements against AS 1012 and ASTM standards.
• Designing experimental programs assessing structural viability and long-term durability of recycled aggregate concrete, analysing results and delivering evidence-based recommendations to industry engineers and stakeholders.
• Reviewing structural drawings and specifications against AS 3600, AS 1379 and AS 1012 to assess material compliance and performance requirements for civil infrastructure and building applications.
• Liaising with Main Roads WA, Holcim and SmartCrete CRC on technical requirements, providing clear written and verbal reporting on programme progress and technical findings.

Senior Concrete Engineer - Berger Fosroc Ltd - Dhaka, Bangladesh

(2021-06 - 2023-04)

• Investigated and resolved concrete durability and performance issues including early-age cracking, surface defects and strength variability, providing root-cause analysis and corrective recommendations.
• Reviewed structural and architectural drawings for constructability and material compliance, raising RFIs and coordinating shop drawing mark-ups with structural engineers.
• Prepared material take-offs and quantity assessments across 10+ concurrent projects, ensuring materials met specification for durability and performance requirements.

QA/QC Coordinator, Ready-Mix Concrete - Mir Ready Mix Concrete - Dhaka, Bangladesh

(2020-12 - 2021-06)

• Managed QA documentation, inspections and engineer sign-offs, maintaining ITPs, NCRs, test records and corrective action reports with full traceability.
• Monitored compressive strength results at 7, 14 and 28 days, coordinating strength-gain schedules and verifying compliance with specified performance criteria.

Senior Project Engineer, QC and Materials - The Civil Engineers Ltd - Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, Bangladesh

(2019-10 - 2020-11)

• Managed QA documentation and engineer sign-offs for nuclear-grade structural concrete works, preparing and maintaining ITPs for 50+ structural element types under stringent international regulatory requirements.
• Supervised reinforcing inspections verifying bar sizes, spacing, cover and lap lengths against structural drawings prior to each pour — controls directly relevant to long-term corrosion protection; achieved zero regulatory non-conformances across a 14-month construction phase.

Civil Engineer, QA/QC - STS Group - Dhaka, Bangladesh

(2014-05 - 2015-07)

• Supported QA inspections verifying reinforcing, formwork and concrete placement against structural drawings and specifications; prepared inspection reports and resolved quality issues with contractors.
