What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply quality control, environmental chemistry, and process-improvement skills in collaborative teams that prioritize safety and regulatory compliance.

I am an industrial maintenance, quality control specialist and environmental chemist with hands-on experience in laboratory and field settings. I consistently apply organized practices to meet company goals and ensure regulatory compliance.

At Igando Lagos Gas fleet I established quality control measures for instrumentation, adapted standard methods to solve analytical problems, and supervised field teams to meet regulatory requirements. I have experience analyzing complex datasets to identify bottlenecks and improve processing times.

During my NYSC assignment at Abule Egba Lagos Water Corporation I performed technical laboratory functions, oversaw quality assurance protocols, and ensured proper chemical standardization and sample handling. I also contributed to process flow improvements during industrial training at Nestlé Nigeria.

I bring practical experience with hazardous waste management, equipment management, and team collaboration, and I am committed to continuous learning and improving environmental safety and waste management practices.
