What I'm looking for

I am seeking hands-on electrical or solar technical roles where I can apply wiring and installation skills, grow under mentorship, contribute to practical projects, and work within collaborative, safety-focused teams.

I am a hardworking, self-motivated BSc Electrical Engineering student at the University of Zambia with hands-on experience in electrical wiring, solar grid installation, and practical technical supervision. I combine strong leadership, teamwork, and analytical skills—demonstrated as class representative for 250 first-year engineering students and as supervisor in agricultural and milling operations.

I hold certificates in Domestic and Industrial Wiring, Project Management and Evaluation, Advanced Excel, and Mini-Solar Grid Installation, and I apply these through maintenance, troubleshooting, project coordination, and data analysis. I am eager to learn, grow in challenging environments, and deliver practical, safety-conscious electrical solutions that meet stakeholder needs.
