Summary

I am a precise and visually astute Junior Engineer with vas and diverse experience in construction, surveying and setting out. I have acquired experience in measuring distances between reference points, setting out correct levels and identifying boundary locations of land. Pinpoints locations and foundations for new buildings. I have also worked under the Ministry of Infrastructure Development of Zimbabwe in the construction and setting out, of roads and roads draining systems. I have been a key contributor towards the ground works completed for the extension of Plum-tree township in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. In my years with Steba Land Surveyors and DM Civils, i have managed to communicate exact findings to architects, and construction managers. I am a Junior Engineer with strong experience in surveying and setting out using different types of surveying equipments and field data collection. Completed a fully detailed topographic survey work for a large-scale "blanket mine" in a solar plantation project, during the previous years and delivered results in a challenging environment, with my organisational and technical skills enabling impressive outcomes for the project.

I am a young and energetic person who is always eager to learn new things and skills. I am also in the process of acquiring more academic knowledge and experience by further pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, and beyond in our field.

Since the beginning of my engineering career, I have completed more than 10 massive, ground work civil projects, three of which were completed under DM Civils agency in Ireland. I have also self conducted a fully detailed survey, from dilapidation survey to topographic survey for a Cleary Doyle / Dublin county council social housing development in Portlaoise.
