What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow as a site-focused civil/engineering professional—owning setting-out, QA/QC, and data-driven reporting—while delivering compliant infrastructure under clear timelines. I thrive in multidisciplinary teams and continuous improvement cultures.

I’m a Civil Engineer with practical experience in site supervision, construction delivery, and QA/QC processes. I interpret structural and construction drawings, support setting-out activities with Leica/Trimble Total Station workflows, and ensure design compliance through rigorous verification.

In recent freelance work as an Assistant Site Engineer, I led QA/QC checks (including pre-pour inspections and reinforcement verification), resolved on-site technical issues using engineering data, and reduced material wastage by 15% through improved tracking and accountability. I also bring experience monitoring marine land-reclamation workmanship, conducting NDT (Schmidt Hammer), generating AutoCAD drawings and reinforcement schedules, and building Excel-based reporting tools for 100+ retail activation projects.
