Site Engineer / Resident Engineer - Multiple Projects (Current Position) - Kenya
Directed day-to-day supervision of multi-storey reinforced concrete building projects and civil engineering infrastructure works, maintaining strict adherence to approved drawings, specifications and construction programmes.
- Conducted comprehensive pre-pour inspections of reinforcement bar placement — verifying bar diameter, spacing, lapping lengths, concrete cover and tie-wire compliance — alongside formwork inspections checking plumb, level, propping adequacy and release agent application.
- Oversaw concrete production and placement operations: supervised batching plant outputs, slump tests, temperature monitoring, vibration technique, curing regimes and cube sampling at prescribed frequencies.
- Managed full inspection of all structural elements — columns, beams, suspended slabs, staircases, retaining walls and pile caps — systematically from substructure through to roof level.
- Issued and tracked site instructions (SIs), requests for information (RFIs), material approval submittals and method statement reviews as components of formal contract administration.
- Prepared detailed weekly progress reports documenting percentage completion, workforce counts, plant utilisation, weather observations, testing results and outstanding issues for client and consultant distribution.
- Coordinated interfaces between the main contractor, specialist subcontractors, structural and architectural consultants, and the client's representative to resolve technical queries and maintain programme without disruption.
- Administered interim valuations — verifying measured quantities against contract rates, assessing valid variation claims and advising on extension of time (EOT) entitlements per contract conditions.
- Conducted systematic materials reconciliation comparing actual concrete volumes poured and steel tonnage fixed against theoretical BOQ quantities, enabling early identification of over-consumption, potential wastage or contractor short-delivery.
- Maintained comprehensive quality dossiers — pour logs, cube test registers, inspection checklists, NCR records and close-out confirmations — serving as the project's formal quality management records throughout construction.
- Enforced full HSE compliance on site: conducted daily toolbox talks, PPE compliance inspections, managed permit-to-work for confined spaces and work-at-height, and ensured incident reporting under OSHA 2007 (Kenya).
Design & Documentation Role - Multiple Projects - Kenya
Reviewed structural design calculations and reinforcement drawings for multi-storey RC buildings — checking element sizing, bar scheduling, lap lengths, anchorage provisions and slab spanning arrangement against BS 8110 and Eurocode 2.
- Prepared detailed Bills of Quantities for multi-storey commercial developments covering all substructure and superstructure elements, measuring reinforcement by element type in accordance with NRM2 standard method of measurement.
- Produced cost estimates at feasibility, concept and tender stages using current market rates and recently completed project benchmarks, providing reliable budgetary guidance to clients and project teams.
- Developed inspection and test plan (ITP) templates and site quality record (SQR) formats for deployment by site teams, aligning with ISO 9001 quality management principles and client-specific requirements.
- Conducted desk-based structural assessments for renovation schemes: reviewed existing floor plans and structural drawings against updated loading requirements and recommended appropriate structural intervention strategies.
- Prepared comprehensive tender documentation including preambles, preliminaries sections, schedule of materials and contract sum analysis formats for residential and commercial building projects.
