Kigali,City of Kigali

Summary

Eng. Jean Claude Ntawiha has around 8
years working experience in the Civil and
Structural engineering projects as
Structural Engineer,Site supervisor and
quality control engineer.
I have been involved in the design of small
to high scale projects (e.g. IRCAD
AFRICA,Ntare school,IDP MV); design
review of large infrastructures such as
high rise building, stadium, industrial
buildings; structural audit of the built
structures; review of precast designs and
steel designs.
I have experience in site management,
quality control assurance and site
correspondences. I have ability of good
application of engineering software(Etabs,sap2000,Tekla tedds,RFEM,Idea statica) in
quick design/review of the projects. I
am able to prepare the effective
technical reports, and write technical
specifications. I have advanced
capability and skills to analyze and
evaluate qualitatively structural reports,
geotechnical reports, laboratory testing
materials results, drawing interpretation
and interpreting international design
codes to relevant local requirements.
I have a wide experience in mentoring
fresh graduate Interns and in conducting
trainings of engineering design software.
I have acquired through my carrier a
wealth deep knowledge and technical
skills of Designing concrete structures,
steel structures, Composite structures,
structural audit, seismic assessment,
material specifications and
geotechnical report analysis.
