What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my extensive experience in civil engineering and project management, preferably in a hybrid or remote-first environment, where I can contribute to impactful infrastructure projects.

I am a civil and structural engineering professional with over 10 years of experience in delivering large-scale infrastructure, water, energy, and building projects across Kenya. I have successfully managed multi-billion shilling construction programs, including a $200 million bypass road and a $190 million HVDC substation. My leadership of cross-functional teams and subcontractors, both on-site and remotely, has been instrumental in optimizing project timelines and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Throughout my career, I have overseen budgets exceeding KES 500 million annually and have implemented engineering innovations that reduced road maintenance costs by 20%. My commitment to enhancing project efficiency is reflected in my ability to improve engineering job closure rates by 15%. I am experienced in remote-ready construction coordination and proficient in tools such as AutoCAD and Civil 3D, which I utilize for effective project planning and execution.
