What I'm looking for
I’m an Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) professional with 10 years of experience developing and implementing programs that protect the total environment and ensure compliance with government and client requirements. I’m known for spotting potential risks and violations, leading loss-prevention efforts, and strengthening incident investigation and emergency response readiness.
In my current HSE leadership role, I supported HSE delivery for a 9.35 MVA power backup project for iXAfrica Data Centres and maintained a zero-incident record while ensuring HSE standards were met. I lead teams to achieve compliance with TotalEnergies’ and Safaricom PLC’s HSE management system requirements, maintain real-time HSE performance dashboards, and develop HSE policies, systems of work, procedures, and role-based training.
