XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXPROFESSIONAL PROFILE XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I am a determined and self-motivated civil engineering graduate who has 5.9 years of comprehensive experience of full-time supervision on construction sites as well as contract administration and management. Uniquely qualified in providing full spectrum of project management and administration including: tender documentation & evaluation, initial design reviews, managing contracts, planning, handling contractor payments & projects close-outs, report-writing & testing of works and interactions with clients, social & environmental consultants & other stake-holders. Technical strengths include: pump stations, water & sewer reticulation, rural development projects such access roads and sports fields facilities. As an active professionally registered ECSA member (Candidate Engineering Technician) and currently almost completing (final semester) my BTech studies in Urban Engineering, I’m very passionate about my career and growing in the civil engineering field. In civil engineering, I believe nothing is more liberating than to work towards a common vision or project- something that encompasses YOU and your efforts but not defined by your existence ALONE.
