Samson Akinwunmi

I am an experienced Construction Project Manager with over 8 years of delivering residential, commercial, and healthcare projects from planning through to successful completion. My background in architecture, combined with hands-on project management experience, has enabled me to lead diverse teams, coordinate consultants and contractors, manage budgets and schedules, and consistently deliver projects on time, within budget, and to high-quality standards. I have built strong expertise in project planning, stakeholder management, risk management, contract administration, procurement, and cost control, while ensuring compliance with health, safety, and regulatory requirements.

I am confident using Microsoft Project, Trello, Jira, AutoCAD, Python, Revit (BIM), and the Microsoft Office Suite to support effective project delivery and decision-making. Known for my collaborative approach, clear communication, and practical problem-solving skills, I enjoy building strong relationships with clients, consultants, and project teams. I am passionate about delivering successful projects that create lasting value and am eager to bring my experience, leadership, and commitment to excellence to a forward-thinking organization.
