• Performed technical problem solving and analytical assessments to resolve site-related design and construction challenges.
• Supported engineering design reviews, ensuring constructability, compliance, and alignment with project specifications.
• Coordinated multidisciplinary interfaces between civil, structural, and electrical teams to ensure seamless project execution.
• Contributed to project planning and controls, including schedule development, progress monitoring.
• Supported project scope management, including tracking design development, assisting with scope changes, and ensuring alignment with project objectives.
• Maintained a strong results- and delivery-focused approach, ensuring projects met key milestones and performance targets.
• Ensured full SHERQ compliance, including hazard identification, risk assessments, and adherence to safety, environmental, and quality requirements.
• Demonstrated strong safety consciousness, promoting a culture of safety and compliance across construction teams.
• Executed QA/QC processes, including preparation and close-out of Quality Control Plans (QCPs), management of RFIs and NCRs, and verification of material and site inspections.
• Supported compliance with relevant processes, procedures, policies, and legislation within the energy and infrastructure sector.
• Supported cost analysis and commercial reporting, including preparation of Bills of Quantities (BOQs), Requests for Quotation (RFQs), and cost tracking.
• Assisted with budget monitoring, milestone verification, and economic evaluation of project activities.
• Prepared technical reports, data packs, and project documentation, ensuring accurate and professional communication of engineering information.
• Demonstrated strong communication and presentation skills through engagement with clients, contractors, and project stakeholders.
• Facilitated effective collaboration by maintaining meeting minutes, action registers, and stakeholder coordination.

Civil Engineering Intern - Mukona Group - Midrand, South Africa

(2024-02 - 2025-02)

• Produced detailed 2D and 3D engineering drawings and models for foundation systems using AutoCAD 2D and Civil 3D, supporting multidisciplinary coordination.
• Designed and analysed complex foundation systems (CFA piles, rock-socketed piles, precast piles, micro-piles), ensuring compliance with engineering standards and contributing to accurate model-based design.
• Performed geotechnical modeling and analysis for TSFs and ADFs (stability, seepage, deformation), supporting engineering teams by providing model-ready data for review.
• Applied PLAXIS 2D finite element modeling to develop sectional views of TSF embankments, simulate staged construction, and evaluate overall slope stability under varying loading, pore pressure and groundwater conditions.
• Used PLAXIS 3D to develop detailed 3D foundation models for buildings, including strip, raft and pad foundations, predicting soil stresses, settlements, deformation patterns and load distribution to support structural design decisions.
• Generated BOQs, material take-offs and tender documentation based on 2D drawings and digital models, strengthening my quantification and cost-planning capabilities.
• Collaborated with civil, structural and geotechnical engineers to refine designs, review drawings and resolve constructability issues early in the design stage.
• Supported quality and SHERQ processes through accurate documentation, drawing control, design compliance checks and method statement development.
• Contributed to digital workflows by organising project data, maintaining document registers and supporting the transition towards ISO aligned information management practices.
