What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can work remotely as a data entry officer, typist, convert Pdf to Ms word documents

I am a Building Inspector/Technician focused on building control and inspection, building plans scrutiny, and producing architectural and mechanical drawings. Since 2021, I have supported strong stakeholder management while developing practical tools and practices for monitoring outcomes with minimal supervision.

With experience as an Inspector of Works (2013–2021) and as an Architectural Draughtsman & Construction Manager (freelance, 2023–2024), I supervise building and civil contractors, manage teams, and translate project needs into design and implementation. I combine contract-and-quantity awareness from my building studies with hands-on supervision, cost estimates, and monthly claims to keep municipal and private projects moving.
