Civil/Site Engineer- In charge of design and supervise construction of civil engineering projects. Recent ones included a small town’s water supply and Sanitation Project in Central Region (EU funded) involving laying and pressure testing of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes of types PN16 and PN10 for transmission and distribution networks respectively and design and construction of structures. Other task includes:  Construction Supervision  Ensuring that site supervision and foremen work according t

 GIS Project/Research Work – Focus is on the acquisition, storage, analysis, retrieval and display of spatial related data, data modelling in geoinformation systems, design and handling of diverse databases, GIS-data formats, GIS customisation including programming. Example of projects includes; Statistical Landslide hazard analysis, Hydrological analysis for dam construction project, Location analysis for a new dumpsite, Soil erosion modeling, updating of existing CAD data using GPS, Facility documentatio

 Horkheim Hydrogeological Investigation – Carried out field studies to investigate the possible connection of two (2) different aquifers (Muschelkalk and Quaternary) in Horkheim, a village in Southern part of Germany. Test carried out includes; Slug test, borehole dilution test, groundwater and surface water sampling, tracer test, pumping test, geophysical analysis.  Carried out EIA on the Sediment feeding, flood plain Excavation and Dam construction on the River Rhine in Germany.  Planning and Design of
