Infrastructure-focused civil engineering contractor delivering government-funded construction projects including educational facilities, road infrastructure, and bridge construction. 3.5-year role progressing from site engineering support to leading independent site management activities on government contracts.

• Ran site engineering on a three-storey government school build from foundation to handover — checking work against design drawings and coordinating setting-out, establishing primary control, and surveying.
• Delivered enabling works and earthworks activities across school, road, and bridge sites — including pavement construction, reinforced concrete works, and general civil infrastructure installation.
• Coordinated setting-out, surveying, and structural monitoring across 2 bridge projects, chasing down technical queries and keeping things on spec.
• Conducted geotechnical surveys and soil investigations across 3+ project sites, producing detailed soil condition reports that directly informed foundation design decisions and reduced the risk of ground-related programme delays.
• Identified a discrepancy between design-stage soil investigation reports and actual ground conditions encountered during excavation on a school project — coordinated between design and site teams to reassess soil properties and agree a revised foundation approach, resolving the issue within one week with minimal disruption to the programme.
• Prepared cost estimates, bills of quantities, and Weekly Programmes, marking up progress achieved and reconciling actual vs theoretical material usage, for government infrastructure projects ranging in value from £180k to £950k (₹2–10 crore).
• Performed regular site inspections across school, road, and bridge projects to monitor quality compliance, construction progress, and health and safety adherence — identifying and resolving 5+ nonconformances during the three-year engagement.
• Kept daily site diaries, ITPs, RFIs, and as-built records in order, and stayed in regular contact with subcontractors and suppliers to keep the job on track.
• Ensured compliance with construction standards, building regulations, and environmental requirements across all active project sites — contributing to zero project failures or regulatory non-compliances during the 3.5-year engagement.
