What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role where I can apply construction safety expertise, lead safety programs, and grow into management while working in a collaborative, safety-focused culture.

I am a dedicated Health and Safety Officer with over eight years' experience in the construction industry, skilled in risk assessment, safety training, audits, and compliance with regulatory requirements. I have a track record of developing and implementing safety programs, identifying hazards, and leading corrective actions to reduce incidents while maintaining detailed incident records.

I am currently pursuing a Diploma in Public Management to strengthen my managerial capabilities and combine practical safety expertise with public management knowledge. I bring strong leadership, time management, conflict resolution, and customer-service skills, supported by certifications in NOSA SHE principles, HIRA, and Sage Pastel payroll training.
