About
Results-driven Geology graduate and certified Project Manager with progressive field experience spanning geological mapping, geophysical survey operations, drilling supervision, and project coordination. Completed a full year of NYSC service at Onyx Geoservices (June 2025 – May 2026), making measurable contributions to groundwater exploration and geotechnical investigation projects before being permanently retained as Project Manager and Field Geologist from May 2026 — a direct recognition of demonstrated performance and field competence. Holds professional certifications in Health, Safety & Environment (HSE Levels 1–3) and Project Management (2026), underpinning a commitment to safe, compliant, and professionally managed field operations.
Prior to geology, built eight years of hands-on expertise as a Structural Welder and Fabricator, developing the precision, technical discipline, and resilience to consistently deliver under pressure. Adept at leading multidisciplinary field teams, managing full project lifecycles, interpreting resistivity and geophysical data, and producing actionable technical reports for clients. A safety-conscious, dependable professional with a consistent record of zero field safety incidents across all supervised operations.
Experience
Project Manager & Field Geologist - Onyx Geoservices
(2026-05)
- Manage the full lifecycle of active geological and geophysical field projects — from scoping and resource planning through to client delivery — consistently meeting milestone targets and budget parameters on every active engagement.
- Direct and coordinate multidisciplinary field teams across VES survey and drilling operations, establishing clear performance standards that have improved daily operational output since appointment as Project Manager.
- Execute end-to-end VES surveys using Schlumberger array configuration, processing resistivity data and producing hydrogeological reports that directly inform client borehole siting and groundwater development decisions.
- Maintained zero recordable safety incidents across all supervised field operations, enforcing site-specific HSE protocols, conducting pre-mobilisation risk assessments, and leading daily safety briefings for all field personnel.
- Serve as primary client liaison, translating complex subsurface findings into clear written reports and plain-language verbal briefings that support informed client decision-making and sustain long-term professional relationships.
- Coordinate with regulatory bodies to ensure full environmental and industry compliance across all project sites, eliminating compliance-related delays to project schedules.
Field Geologist (NYSC) - Onyx Geoservices
(2025-06 - 2026-05)
- Executed geological mapping, VES data acquisition using Schlumberger configuration, and drilling support across multiple client project sites throughout the 12-month service year, with all field deliverables accepted without revision by senior geologists.
- Prepared detailed field logs, geological cross-sections, and site investigation reports that contributed to final client-ready deliverables consistently submitted on schedule.
- Developed applied proficiency in resistivity data interpretation, lithostratigraphic logging, and 2D subsurface cross-section generation — competencies that directly underpinned the decision to retain the position post-NYSC on a permanent basis.
- Sustained 100% HSE compliance throughout the entire service year, earning commendation from field supervisors for safety culture, discipline, and professional conduct in remote field environments.
Fabricator & Structural Welder - S.A. Akano Enterprise
(2016 - 2024)
- Delivered high-quality steel fabrication and structural welding across a broad range of commercial and civil projects over an 8-year tenure, with a consistent record of zero structural defects or client quality rejections on completed work.
- Read and executed complex engineering drawings with precision, passing all quality inspections on completed welds in full compliance with applicable industry standards.
- Operated arc, MIG, and TIG welding equipment proficiently; mentored 3+ junior fabricators on-site, shortening their skill acquisition curve and improving overall team output quality and consistency.
- Built a professional reputation for reliability, attention to detail, and the ability to perform under physical and schedule pressure — a disciplined work ethic that translates directly to demanding geological fieldwork environments.
