PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Accomplished civil engineering professional with extensive experience delivering high-value construction projects to deadlines. Driven to achieve cost, quality and timeframe targets through strategic planning and project management. My expertise lies in planning and implementing appropriate construction methods in Civil, Hydro, Geotech, and Structural engineering. I have a proven track record of delivering successful projects from concept to completion while optimizing cost, schedule, and available resources.
I possess an in-depth understanding of infrastructure design and delivery, excel in collaborating with clients, consultants, sub-contractors, and stakeholders, and have excellent technical and non-technical communication skills.
I am well-versed in computer-aided design and operational field efficiency, with excellent communication skills and a proven ability to convey complex information clearly and concisely, enhancing my ability to integrate and drive technical projects to successful completion.
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
Provided strategic engineering design, supervision, and analysis inputs while efficiently managing a team of 20 welders throughout the fabrication and installation operations of several I-beam sections that led to the successful completion of a 24m-by-24m auditorium steel roof trusses with no mid-span support. This project gained top management recognition.
As the lead civil engineer on the climate-friendly 5 Bedroom and one-storey duplex construction project, I conducted a thorough feasibility survey to determine the most appropriate design and construction techniques.
Applied analytical thinking in the interpretation of drawings and ensure compliance with design specifications, leading to the prompt and successful delivery of a state-of-the-art milestone one-storey library annexe project, which won several awards for sustainable ecosystem compliance.
Rescued a 12-store project at Sandmash from collapse during the second-floor construction by devising a soil improvement method using pilling and vibroflotation. Also redesigned the solid slab into Canam sheets to reduce the dead load, saving the project and surpassing client expectations.
Experience managing subcontractors with a value greater than £1m and familiarity with contract conditions, CDM regulations, and NEC forms of contract.
