Ing. Moses Arkoh

I am a Chartered Civil & Structural Engineer (PE GHIE) and PMP® Project Director with +20 years of international experience directing major capital infrastructure, municipal utility networks, and multi-million-dollar portfolios.

👉 GLOBAL MOBILITY: Fully available and actively seeking international relocation, regional project postings, and technical advisory roles across New Zealand, Australia, Europe, the Caribbean, Africa, and global markets.

I have provided senior technical and commercial leadership to multidisciplinary teams of up to 150+ personnel, combining engineering excellence with strong project governance. My experience includes major heavy-industrial infrastructure valued at US$213 million and multi-regional municipal development portfolios exceeding US$100 million, including USAID and World Bank programmes.

🛠️ CORE SPECIALIZATIONS:

• Water & WASH Infrastructure: Design coordination, hydraulic analysis (EPANET 2.2), solar-powered distribution, HDPE/uPVC pipelines, water-storage structures, and cooling-water systems.
• Project Management & Commercial Controls: PMO/PMC leadership, Earned Value Management (EVM), CapEx/OpEx optimisation, BOQ review, procurement, risk management, and FIDIC/international contract administration.
• Civil & Structural Engineering: Reinforced-concrete infrastructure, structural audits, adequacy assessments, high-rise compliance, concrete deterioration diagnosis, and construction QA/QC.
• Resilient Infrastructure: Climate resilience, environmental sustainability, lifecycle asset management, and long-term infrastructure performance.

🎓 RESEARCH & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

My commitment to sustainable infrastructure is supported by a master’s in environmental management from Coventry University (UK) and ongoing PhD research at the University of the West of England (Bristol, UK) focused on Life-Cycle Management of Resilient Infrastructure, including asset performance, risk, and capital costs in urban utilities.

I work with Eurocodes, BS EN Standards, BS 8110, and applicable international technical requirements, and excel at managing complex projects across corporate, government, development-partner, consultant, contractor, and community interfaces.

📩 LET’S CONNECT

I welcome connections with recruiters, engineering consultancies, project developers, and infrastructure executives seeking an experienced Civil, Water or Infrastructure Project Leader available for international opportunities.
