What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a dynamic entry-level position on innovative construction or infrastructure projects, where I can collaborate with experienced professionals, enhance my technical skills, and contribute to a progressive engineering team.

At GHANA HIGHWAY AUTHORITIES, I assisted civil and resident engineers with construction work and laboratory testing. I supported materials testing, including compaction, CBR, density, and DCP tests.

At KNUST ENGINEERING LABORATORY, I researched using LEDs to make solar panels. I also constructed a supercapacitor using eggshells as the electrolyte for my final-year project.

In the Knust Post Graduate Lab, I produced hydrogen using wastewater in a microbial fuel cell. I’m seeking an entry-level role in construction or infrastructure where I can apply my engineering education, build my technical skills, and contribute alongside experienced professionals.
