Aspiring civil engineer with expertise in construction management.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated civil engineer currently pursuing my Master of Engineering in Construction Management at The University of Zambia. With a Bachelor of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering, I have developed a strong foundation in engineering principles and practices. My professional journey includes roles as a Civil/Bridge Engineer and Environmental Engineer, where I have honed my skills in project management, technical reporting, and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.
At SABA Engineering PLC, I have been instrumental in updating the Bridge Management System and providing critical insights on road structure improvements. My previous experience as an Environmental Engineer at Status Hi-Tech Zambia Ltd allowed me to focus on occupational health and safety, where I conducted hygiene surveys and provided actionable recommendations for hazard mitigation. I am passionate about leveraging my engineering skills to contribute to sustainable infrastructure development.
