I had to use various statistical and engineering techniques to handle the engineering projects given to me by my senior engineers. I coordinated and supervised contractors and staffs under me and made the process clear that I get the report of daily activity of each staff on daily/weekly basis as required. I was also willing and learning handling complex engineering techniques and tools which should give me an in depth understanding to solve complex problems with ease and efficiency.
• Designed and prepared engineering designs, plans, drawings, specifications, and cost estimates.
• Performed field checks of project sites and survey areas to verify survey results and features.
• Performed complex calculations and prepared estimates of time and material costs.
• Provided information and respond to complaints and concerns from the client.
• Involved in drawing plans from specifications, reporting and monitoring progress and updating project programmes on a regular basis.
• Undertook regular site safety supervisor inspections.
As Civil engineer I acted as liaison between various teams namely senior management, contractors, engineers and clients by keeping sound knowledge on subject and efficient communication skills to present points precisely and effectively so that the work gets carried out efficiently. I also took the responsibility of monitoring the daily activities of team to ensure that all tasks are done as per plan. I coordinated well with the team of builders, contractors and management and implemented the development as per design standards with quality and efficiency in stipulated time.
