Risk Engineer at Zimnat General Insurance who assesses industrial assets and leads forensic post-loss investigations.

At Zimnat General Insurance, I conduct technical risk surveys for industrial, commercial, and residential assets. I calculate Gross Replacement Values and advise underwriting units on Maximum Probable Loss thresholds.

I also lead forensic post-loss investigations to establish incident root causes and carry out technical loss adjustments. My work includes developing risk-mitigation strategies and following up with corporate clients on engineering safety recommendations.

At Kingson Engineering, I managed project lifecycles, site supervision, and production planning. I also prepared cost estimates and tender documentation, and created workshop and structural drawings using AutoCAD.

My engineering experience also includes quality systems, testing, and production planning at ZESA Enterprises. I hold a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering from National University of Science and Technology (NUST), Zimbabwe.
