About Salman Mohammad Abdul

I am a Master’s graduate in Civil Engineering with a specialization in Construction Management from California State University, Long Beach. My career journey has spanned both the U.S. and India, where I’ve contributed as a Project Engineer on diverse residential, commercial, and electrical projects.Currently, I serve as a Project Engineer at LEED Electric, Inc, where I manage project planning, execution, and closeout. My responsibilities include overseeing submittals, distributing drawings, coordinating equipment, troubleshooting field challenges, and ensuring seamless collaboration between project managers, superintendents, subcontractors, and trade partners. This role has given me valuable exposure to electrical systems, balancing requirements, and final project handovers through detailed punch list management, warranty collection, and documentation.Earlier in my career, I worked at ITNOA Constructions in Hyderabad, India, where I gained hands-on experience in site inspections, quality and safety reviews, Primavera P6 scheduling, resource optimization, and contract management on projects valued between $40M–$85M. I began as a Construction Management Intern and transitioned into a full-time Project Engineer, actively contributing to client coordination, cost control, and subcontractor management.My foundation in engineering began with an internship at the Bentley Institute, where I focused on structural design and analysis for steel and reinforced concrete structures, honing my technical knowledge and safety-first approach.I am certified in OSHA 30, Procore (Engineer, Estimator, Student), and CMIT, demonstrating my commitment to safety, quality, and continuous professional growth. Technically, I am proficient in Procore, Primavera P6, AutoCAD, Staad Pro, Revit, Bluebeam, ArcGIS, and Minitab, with a strong background in estimating, documentation, and project coordination.Driven by a passion for creating sustainable and impactful infrastructure, I thrive on challenges that require both technical expertise and collaborative problem-solving. Outside of work, I enjoy basketball, volleyball, and cricket—sports that have sharpened my teamwork and leadership skills.I am always eager to connect with professionals in construction and engineering to share knowledge and explore opportunities where I can contribute meaningfully to high-impact projects.
