What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my engineering skills in a dynamic environment, focusing on project management and team collaboration.

I am a dedicated Engineering Assistant with a solid foundation in civil engineering and extensive experience in site management and project support. My journey began with a Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering from Afe Babalola University, where I developed a keen understanding of engineering principles and practices. Over the years, I have honed my skills through various roles, including my current position as a Site Engineer, where I oversee critical projects for major clients like NNPC and PHRC.

In my role as a Site Engineer, I have successfully managed the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt Refinery, applying my engineering knowledge to interpret isometric drawings and supervise the daily activities of welders and fitters. My experience as the Head of the Highways Department during my NYSC further solidified my ability to monitor construction site progress and ensure compliance with safety regulations. I am passionate about delivering high-quality work and solving complex engineering challenges, making me a valuable asset to any project.
