About

I am a detail-oriented and results-driven professional with a strong background in construction management and cost control. With experience in site supervision, project coordination, and contract management, I have contributed to multiple large-scale infrastructure and building projects. My academic background in Quantity Surveying and Energy Systems has equipped me with solid technical knowledge, while my internships in leading construction firms have provided hands-on experience in project execution, procurement planning, and stakeholder coordination. Key strengths include: Project Coordination: Ensuring seamless communication between contractors, consultants, and clients to achieve project goals. Cost & Contract Management: Assisting in budget control, material procurement, and contract administration to optimize project costs. Technical & Quality Assurance: Conducting on-site inspections and implementing quality control measures to ensure compliance with project standards. With seven years of international study experience, I am highly adaptable to cross-cultural work environments and have strong problem-solving skills. Passionate about the construction and energy sector, I am eager to contribute my expertise to challenging projects and grow within the industry. Let’s connect and explore opportunities to collaborate!
