I have over seven years of experience as a civil engineer for the Lagos State Government, where I led and contributed to multiple building quality control projects across the state. I hold a master’s degree in civil and environmental engineering with a focus on structures, and I have developed expertise in building construction and quality control, drainage design, and stormwater management.
Possessing an extensive knowledge base, I am well-versed in industry-standard guidelines and codes crucial to civil and structural engineering. My expertise encompasses a profound understanding of the Urban Drainage Group (UDG) Code of Practice, The Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB), as well as the CIRIA Code of Practice. Additionally, I am proficient in adhering to British Standard codes relevant to civil and structural engineering. This comprehensive knowledge ensures that my work aligns with established industry standards, facilitating the development of robust and compliant engineering solutions. My familiarity with these codes underscores my commitment to delivering projects that meet and exceed regulatory requirements, contributing to the overall success and quality of engineering endeavors.
Some of my notable achievements include participating in the construction quality control of the Lekki-Epe Expressway Project, constructing and implementing drainage solutions along the Lekki-Epe Expressway Project, and conducting quality audits and inspections for various public and stakeholders’ buildings across Lagos State, ensuring compliance with safety and environmental standards. I am passionate about improving the safety, sustainability, and functionality of the built environment, and I have a strong commitment to excellence, innovation, and collaboration. I am seeking new opportunities to apply my skills and experience to challenging and impactful projects in the civil engineering field.
