What I'm looking for

I seek project-focused roles where I can lead execution, improve operations, mentor teams, and deliver measurable results in safety-conscious, growth-oriented organizations.

I am a mechanical engineering graduate with hands-on experience in operations, maintenance, project coordination, and technical procurement across manufacturing and oil-refining environments. I have supervised equipment installation and decommissioning, led maintenance and root-cause analysis activities, and coordinated projects for FMCG and industrial clients while adhering to safety and quality standards.

I combine strong project planning, documentation, and stakeholder management skills with volunteer leadership experience mentoring students and delivering community projects aligned with the SDGs. I hold a Professional Project Management Certification (Google) and am a Graduate Member of the Nigeria Society of Engineers, committed to continuous learning and tangible impact.
