I actively drove strategic project management at Rouxgold Holdings, successfully delivering high-impact initiatives across diverse industries. I facilitated open collaboration, clearly defining scope, costs, timelines, deliverables, and expectations from inception. Through Microsoft Project, I systematically tracked milestones and regularly communicated progress via SharePoint and Microsoft Teams, minimizing schedule risks and keeping stakeholders satisfied.After thoroughly selecting external providers based on proposed budgets, quality standards, work terms, and expertise, I oversaw projects such as an airport lounge renovation, a retail shop interior design and build and construction of a new service station, achieving deliverables under budget and meeting compliance standards. Comprehensive risk analyses and customized inspection checklists captured issues beforehand, satisfying clients.At fuel sites, my team and I reduced operational issues and complaints by analyzing root causes. For example, we upgraded an unreliable fuel pumping system prone to failures to a submersible system. This actively improved fueling efficiency by 20% and maintenance costs through preventative strategies. As a solutions-driven engineer, I took pride in partnering with teams to proactively detect and resolve issues, preventing downtime through maintenance planning. I was passionate about unlocking new efficiencies through hands-on project management and issue resolution.

I spearheaded our organization's ISO 9001 certification initiative to actively elevate standards and streamline processes. Leading a cross-functional Quality Management team, we resolved 75% of non-conformities identified during 4 certification audits, successfully achieving certified status on the initial attempt. Rigorous staff training sessions that I conducted increased comprehension of quality directives by 85% across departments. Translating audit findings into visually engaging presentations, we championed continual improvement initiatives.To enhance customer satisfaction, we gathered over 200 feedback responses. Analysing insights from internal audits using Fishbone root cause analysis, my team and I reduced the release of nonconforming working drawings and reports by 20%. I led the Quality Management team to effectively monitor and evaluate the implementation of procedures, work instructions, and quality records to satisfy ISO 9001:2015's 10 requirements. We utilized a hybrid document management platform, centralizing and controlling document access, improving data security and knowledge of the ISO High level Structure by 25%. Continual Improvement initiatives saw through the development of a central project performance tracker, which in return fostered recognition and project ownership, as a result this enhanced meeting of project deadlines. Moreover, Quality metrics including reduced errors validated our process upgrades and reinforced a culture focused on exceeding client expectations. Driving these impactful changes, our certification reflected the firm's commitment to optimized service delivery and operational excellence under my leadership.

As an Electrical Design Specialist, I designed electrical infrastructure for urban development projects across Zimbabwe including public street lighting, fuel service station reticulation, residential development low voltage distributions and various building service installations. In this role, I worked closely with civil and structural engineers to plan and manage projects from concept through handover.My primary responsibilities included performing comprehensive load analyses, cable sizing, lighting modelling and drafting working drawings for council approvals using AutoCAD, Revit and Excel. By leveraging international standards like Zimbabwean Distribution Code Regulations and European road lighting standards, I consistently delivered designs with over 90% regulatory compliance. Notably, for a 7,000-home subdivision project, my electrical system design met over 90% compliance standards while also adopting best practices for road lighting. I also conducted feasibility assessments exploring sustainable solutions such as integrating large-scale 3.3MW solar power plant and battery storage to support municipal loads.Through analytical modelling and system optimization techniques in computational engineering software, I was able to accurately size infrastructure systems within 5% of projected needs and minimize costs. I secured over 5 contracts by developing competitive technical proposals that showcased my design expertise and directly addressed client requirements.Additionally, I enhanced project quality through multi-discipline drafting coordination and hands-on oversight of installations. Notably, I conducted technical reviews of a 33/11kV substation design and monitored the construction of electrical works for a bulk gas depot , which expanded my expertise in industrial power systems.

During my formative internship at the iconic 1050MW Kariba South Hydropower Station, safety was paramount as I maintained critical plant instrumentation. Upholding stringent protocols, I analyzed over 75% of issues encountered, minimizing downtime through reliable solutions.Working closely with engineers, I gained hands-on training in calibration, fault diagnosis and compliance with ISO/environmental standards. By customizing workflow templates in Excel, I streamlined design documentation by 55% - invaluable experience that carries through to this day. Whether troubleshooting complex PLC governing systems or restoring instrumentation, I demonstrated innovative problem-solving. On one project, I helped commission a major DCS interface migration ensuring a seamless transition during the plant's expansion. Through meticulous analysis and root cause determination, I consistently restored over 85% of faults - validating my approach to predictive maintenance. Calibrations were precision-tuned to within 1%, adhering rigorously to quality protocols. This immersive internship laid the foundation for my career. I continue striving to achieve reliability through safety-conscious operations and optimized instrumentation expertise - whether in utility-scale power or other industries. The technical skills and continual learning mindset cultivated there remain cornerstones of my work today.
