What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, innovation, and teamwork in environmental safety.

I am a dedicated Environmental and Safety Engineering student at the University of Mines and Technology, set to graduate in November 2024. My journey has been marked by a commitment to innovation and productivity in my field. I have gained valuable experience through internships at Ghana Grid Company and Ghana Port and Harbours Authority, where I performed risk assessments, conducted environmental inspections, and engaged with stakeholders on significant projects.

My role as a National Service Personnel at GRIDCo has further solidified my skills in environmental assessment and stakeholder engagement. I am passionate about ensuring safety standards are met and have actively contributed to various environmental and safety initiatives. I am eager to continue learning and applying my knowledge in a professional setting, where I can make a meaningful impact.
