What I'm looking for

I’m looking for engineering roles supporting tenders and donor-funded programs, where I can manage construction/site delivery or irrigation operations, drive sustainability and safety compliance, and collaborate with NGOs/INGOs on practical, community-centered outcomes.

I’m an experienced Civil Engineer with over 7 years of progressive experience across construction supervision, site engineering, irrigation systems, and project coordination. My focus is infrastructure development that blends technical quality with environmental sustainability and measurable community impact.

I’ve led on-site delivery from foundations to finishes, coordinating site labor, materials procurement, and daily construction activities. I ensure compliance with approved drawings, specifications, and occupational health and safety standards while maintaining daily records, progress reports, and material usage logs.

Across my roles, I’ve strengthened planning and execution through setting out, quality assurance checks, and contractor supervision. I interpret engineering drawings, coordinate with consultants and foremen, and support cost monitoring and materials planning to deliver milestones on schedule and at required quality.

As an Irrigation / Fertigation Assistance Officer, I manage greenhouse and open-field irrigation operations, including EC/pH monitoring, nutrient dosing, fertigation system maintenance, and staff scheduling. I’m also a founder and CEO of an engineering firm, directly involved in tender support, project execution, and sustainable engineering innovations, and I’m registered with Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK).
