Civil engineer focused on BIM, GIS analysis, and practical project delivery.
Sri LankaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Civil Engineering graduate from the University of Peradeniya, driven by a passion for problem-solving and a practical, hands-on approach. I’m energetic and open-minded, and I bring strong technical skills, effective communication, and leadership abilities to every team. I’m also keen to contribute to impactful projects by combining creativity with hard work.
In my recent experience at Central Engineering Services (Private) Limited, I supported BIM-based projects by contributing to BIM design and coordination workflows, building architectural/structural/MEP models, and assisting with model review and clash detection. Earlier at IWMI, I conducted ArcGIS Pro GIS-based hydrological modeling and used PCA for climate and conflict vulnerability assessments, strengthening my research, data analysis, and reporting skills—while my site traineeship at ACCESS Engineering PLC built my practical confidence with reinforcement, formwork, concreting, and quality/safety documentation.
