What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and sustainability, where I can contribute to impactful engineering projects.

I am a civil engineer with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Dedan Kimathi University of Technology. My professional journey began at Safal Building Systems Ltd, where I currently serve as a Design Engineer specializing in Ultraspan truss systems. My role involves producing high-quality designs and collaborating with various stakeholders to ensure project success. I pride myself on my ability to manage technical issues and deliver optimized solutions that meet client expectations.

Prior to my current position, I worked as a site engineer at Cora Consultants, where I contributed to significant projects, including a 10-storey residential complex. My experience spans structural and architectural design, project management, and on-site supervision. I am passionate about sustainable development and continuously seek to integrate environmentally-friendly practices into my work. I believe that effective communication and collaboration are key to successful project execution, and I strive to foster strong relationships with clients and team members alike.
