What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute to challenging engineering initiatives where I can supervise safe construction, run quality control, support geotechnical and structural deliverables, and strengthen sustainable, well-documented project outcomes in collaborative teams.

I’m a dynamic, results-focused civil and structural engineer with a solid academic background and a comprehensive understanding of structural design, analysis, and construction methods. I’m passionate about sustainable design and improving urban infrastructure while minimizing environmental impact.

In my graduate engineer internship, I conducted field geotechnical surveys (including Standard Penetration Tests and Earth Resistivity Tests) for tower locations along an OHL transmission line. I supervised site activities to ensure construction adhered to design plans, specifications, and engineering standards.

I’ve also worked as a Roads Inspector with Kenya Urban Roads Authority, contributing to monthly site meetings, progress reporting, and the preparation of Bills of Quantities (BoQ). I supported design reviews for culverts, drains, and soil pitching, while ensuring work aligned with prescribed standards and specifications.

I strengthen my practice with tools like Microsoft Office Suite and engineering software such as Autodesk and Tekla platforms. Through training and professional engagement, including FIDIC construction contract management, I focus on clear communication, quality control/assurance, and disciplined project documentation.
