About

Civil Engineer with practical experience in civil infrastructure, water distribution systems, AutoCAD drafting, pipeline design, quantity take-offs, BOQs and technical documentation. Experienced in preparing and reviewing engineering drawings, developing water pipeline layouts, analysing hydraulic networks using EPANET, working with GIS data in QGIS, and supporting construction and field operations.

I can assist with AutoCAD drafting, civil engineering drawings, water distribution and pipeline design, quantity take-offs, BOQs/BOMs, technical reports and engineering documentation. I combine office-based design and documentation with practical site experience, allowing me to produce drawings and quantities that consider actual construction conditions.

I am comfortable working from sketches, survey information, existing drawings, maps and technical requirements to develop clear, accurate and well-organised engineering deliverables.
