I work as a long-term production drafting partner to design firms: clients direct the design, I deliver clean, well-layered, construction-ready drawings on schedule — following each firm's CAD standards, title blocks, and layer conventions. Consistent 5.0-rated delivery built on precision, fast turnaround, and clear communication.

Civil / Construction Project Engineer

Jul 2011 - Present • 15 yrs 1 mo

At ARECO Group of Companies Ltd, Dar es Salaam: 15+ years managing major construction projects, including the US$653M PPP satellite town, FIDIC EPC and the EAC New Headquarters in Arusha (€14M, KfW-funded, FIDIC Red Book). Responsibilities spanned drawing coordination, contract administration, site supervision, quantity takeoffs, and claims management. This on-site experience is why my drawings reflect how buildings are actually built — not just how they look on screen.
