About

I am a PMP-certified Civil Engineer with over 10 years of experience specializing in project planning, water and wastewater infrastructure, and construction management. My expertise lies in planning, scheduling, and project control for large-scale infrastructure projects, including water treatment plants, WET utilities (water supply, sewerage, drainage, and groundwater modeling), and civil engineering developments. With a strong background in Primavera P6, Asta Powerproject, and MS Project, I have successfully developed and optimized project schedules, resource allocation plans, and risk mitigation strategies to ensure on-time and within-budget project delivery. I have worked extensively managing bidding documents, including technical specifications, BOQs, and construction drawings. In my career, I have led multidisciplinary teams and collaborated with government agencies, regulatory bodies, and contractors to streamline project execution and maintain compliance with UK construction standards and environmental regulations. My ability to forecast resource needs, apply earned value management (EVM), and implement sustainable engineering solutions has helped drive efficiency and cost savings across projects. Currently based in Manchester, UK, I am committed to delivering high-quality infrastructure solutions that align with sustainability goals and industry best practices. I am always eager to explore new opportunities in planning, project management, and infrastructure development, contributing to innovative and resilient engineering projects.
