What I'm looking for

I seek roles leveraging civil engineering design and project management skills, with clear accountability, collaborative teams, and opportunities to improve workflows and logistics.

I am an EIT-certified civil engineer with over seven years' experience delivering infrastructure projects from tendering and design through on-site implementation and completion. I combine technical precision in design (AutoCAD, ETABS, SAFE) with strong contract administration, procurement coordination, and documentation control to meet client and donor expectations.

My background includes international freight coordination and logistics, stakeholder engagement with UN agencies and NGOs, and customer-focused project support roles. Recognized for clear communication and results—such as a Salesperson of the Year award at DHL—I drive timely, compliant project delivery while optimizing workflows and supply chains.
