What I'm looking for

I’m seeking practical experience in construction and project environments where I can apply my structural, surveying, and water fundamentals, deliver quality work, and grow while contributing effectively within a team.

I’m a BEng Tech in Civil Engineering graduate with a strong foundation in structural analysis, surveying, hydrology, and construction principles. Through my studies, I’ve built practical competence in interpreting technical drawings and supporting site operations with care and accuracy.

I’m proficient in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Microsoft Excel, and I’ve applied this knowledge through hands-on academic work. I participated in surveying practicals with field measurements, tested concrete beams for load-bearing capacity, and interpreted strength and failure-point data.

I also worked on projects covering road design (alignment and drainage), geotechnical laboratory testing (Atterberg Limits for soil classification), and moisture content/compaction tests to assess soil strength and suitability for construction. Detail-oriented and adaptable, I’m seeking practical experience in construction and project environments where I can contribute quality work as part of a team.
