Architect bridging design and site construction execution, focused on structural accuracy and coordinated delivery.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an architect with 3+ years of experience bridging design and on-site construction execution. I translate structural drawings into accurate on-site reinforcement layouts, coordinate site teams, and support construction delivery with strong quality control and stakeholder communication.
Right now, I’m working as a Clerk of Works (COW) / Site Construction Role with the State Department for Housing and Urban Development on a G+4-story, 4-story student accommodation project. Previously, I built experience across architectural design and fast delivery—while also progressing toward project coordination and early-stage construction management roles.
