Building Services Engineer
My passion for creating innovative solutions in the field of mechanical engineering fuels my drive to excel. While my recent focus has been on honing my project management skills through an Advanced Diploma, my foundation lies in a Diploma of Quantity Surveying. This blend equips me with a comprehensive understanding of both technical design principles and the practicalities of efficient project execution. I'm confident this unique skillset will allow me to thrive in a mechanical engineering role, contributing not only to the design process but also to the successful completion of projects within budget and timeline constraints.

Work Experience

Site Agent

Mar 2022 - Aug 2022
6 mos
Eswatini
My position as a Site Agent was short as I had to acknowledge the opportunity to go and study mechanical engineering. But for the months as a Site Agent i excelled at resolving challenges and ensuring project runs smoothly. I led a team of subcontractors and workers, fostering a collaborative environment to achieve project goals. Through regular progress reviews, I proactively identified potential issues like material shortages or unexpected site conditions. By leveraging my problem-solving skills and communication expertise, I developed and implemented effective solutions to minimize delays and maintain project quality. My commitment to safety remained paramount, with regular inspections and safety briefings ensuring a secure work environment. As the client's primary liaison, I fostered trust by providing clear and timely updates through reports and presentations. My meticulous record-keeping practices documented every project facet, and my cost-control measures included monitoring budgets, identifying cost-saving opportunities, and efficiently processing subcontractor claims.

While I thrived as a Technical Quantity Surveyor I was leveraging my expertise in procurement and cost analysis. My responsibilities included identifying and sourcing cost-effective materials and equipment through rigorous market research and supplier negotiations. By effectively managing purchase orders and ensuring timely deliveries, I minimized project delays and ensured efficient material flow. In addition, I actively monitored material usage on-site, identifying potential overruns and implementing cost-saving solutions through value engineering proposals.

Working as a Technical Quantity Surveyor, I spearheaded cost control measures. This included taking off precise quantities from complex engineering drawings, ensuring all materials and labor were accounted for. I then compiled a comprehensive bill of quantities, establishing the project scope and initial budget. During construction, I meticulously reviewed budgets and identified opportunities for value engineering, ultimately leading to significant cost savings. Through ongoing site visits, I verified subcontractor claims and proactively identified potential cost overruns. My collaborative approach with the project team ensured these risks were mitigated, allowing the project to conclude within budget and deliver a high-quality finished product.
