Site Geologist - Regional Geophysical Services (RGS) - Rift Valley Region

(2026-07 - 2026-10)

Bridge Ground Investigations

• Carried out geotechnical ground surveys at six bridge sites across the Rift Valley, documenting ground conditions at abutments and foundations.
• Carried out grouting works to stabilise collapsing bridge walls and restore ground support.
• Recorded field observations and supported reporting to inform engineers' remedial and design decisions.

Geology Intern - Regional Geophysical Services - Dam Construction Site, Sabor Forest, Eldoret; High-Rise Residential Development

(2025-09 - 2026-02)

Dam Construction Site, Sabor Forest, Eldoret (Sep – Nov 2025); High-Rise Residential Development (Feb 2026)

• Carried out geotechnical assessments for dam foundation and abutment conditions, logging and documenting subsurface geology.
• Performed Standard Penetration Tests (SPT), recording blow counts (N-values) to evaluate soil consistency, rock quality and bearing capacity.
• Conducted electrical resistivity surveys along the dam axis to map overburden thickness, the weathered-to-fresh bedrock interface and potential seepage or fracture zones.
• Supported geophysical surveys, gaining hands-on experience with resistivity equipment, and prepared preliminary site reports to assist engineering evaluations.
• Described soil and rock samples (colour, texture, weathering grade, discontinuities) for accurate documentation of geological conditions.
• Carried out geological site investigations to assess ground stability and founding conditions for a multi-storey residential building.
• Monitored excavation and foundation works, recording soil profiles, groundwater observations and rock quality.
• Collaborated with engineers to assess site conditions and ensure compliance with geotechnical specifications.
• Performed Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) to evaluate soil and rock properties.

Geology Intern - Skymap (Land Survey & Aerial Drone Services) Africa - Kenya and Arusha, Tanzania

(2025-05 - 2025-08)

• Conducted land and aerial drone surveys across Kenya and in Arusha, Tanzania.
• Operated land and hydrological survey equipment to collect accurate field data.
• Analysed hydrological survey data to support project planning and environmental assessments.
