What I'm looking for

I seek project roles where I can manage delivery, enforce quality and safety, mentor teams, and grow into larger-scale management responsibilities.

I am a civil engineering graduate with three years of hands-on experience coordinating infrastructure projects, supervising sites, and managing stakeholders to meet technical specifications and safety standards.

I have led project delivery across road maintenance, rehabilitation and multi-site construction works — monitoring contractors, enforcing quality and safety, and improving efficiency by streamlining reporting processes.

I also coordinated major events and founded a university chapter of a national body, managing budgets, volunteer teams, and logistics while driving cost savings and strong cross-functional collaboration.
