What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers practical experience, teamwork, and opportunities for growth in the engineering field.

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic Civil Engineering student currently pursuing my MEng degree at the University of Birmingham. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in various engineering disciplines, including geotechnics, traffic engineering, and tunnelling. I have had the opportunity to apply my theoretical knowledge during a placement with AECOM, where I collaborated with engineers to tackle real-world challenges, such as designing a bridge and assessing traffic flow using AutoCAD and Junctions10 software.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have honed my skills as a Warehouse Operative at DHL-Unilever, where I worked diligently within a team to meet key performance indicators and maintain high standards of product quality. My strong communication skills, both oral and written, have been instrumental in my roles, allowing me to effectively liaise with project managers and clients. I am eager to bring my dependable nature and problem-solving abilities to a new role in the engineering field.
