Ghosh oversees the quality assurance aspects of diverse high-profile geotechnical and construction projects in the Cleveland area. His
professional experience includes supervision and quality assurance for highway constructions, bridge infrastructure, tunnel construction,
landslide/rockslide remediation and geotechnical explorations.
Current Position
Cleveland Opportunity Corridor Project (Section 1), OH (4/2015 - Present) – Senior Consultant Geologist. Mr. Ghosh provides Quality
Oversight services for ODOT in the proposed $331m Cleveland Opportunity Corridor Project. He conducts quality assurance checks,
supervision and inspection of related construction processes like drainage, water-main installation, highway pavement, highway lighting,
utilities, and maintenance of traffic (MOT). The project is one of the prestigious state-funded transportation and economic development
project aiming at connecting I-490 to the University Circle neighborhood via a five lane boulevard with associated bridges and RTA stations.

ODOT George V. Voinovich Bridge (CCG2), Cleveland, OH (4/2014- 3/2015) – Senior Consultant. Mr. Ghosh provided quality control for
ODOT and Independent Quality Firm (IQF) Parsons Brinkerhoff applying his diversified knowledge of construction engineering principles to
practices. He performed audits, observations, inspection and supervision of associated construction processes in the$273 m George V.
Voinovich Bridge. The design-build contract was a major interstate reconstruction project located in the heart of Cleveland over the
Cuyahoga River passage from Lake Erie. Mr. Ghosh was responsible for verification and improvement of the quality of all highway elements
including embankments, ramps, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, drainage, water main, pavements, signage, striping, lighting,
maintenance of traffic (MOT) and audited all aspects of bridge constructions and pile driving.
