Bangui,BGF

Summary

Engineer for 18 years in different fields, such as management of construction projects, project design and planning, execution and evaluation of engineering standards, project feasibility studies, supply chain and logistics, budget management, Real Estate, and assets management, gave me the knowledge, skills, and competencies to effectively perform the responsibilities associated with the construction industry. Adept at leading engineering projects and managing contracts with a proven track record at the United Nations Mission in Central African Republic ( MINUSCA) , I excel in team collaboration and project management. Demonstrated success in enhancing resource utilization and project execution by 30%, leveraging expertise in design & structural construction software and effective communication. I possess excellent planning and organizational skills, which have enabled me to continuously keep abreast of workflow and meet important, often time-sensitive deadlines. My excellent organizational skills, technical skills, analytical skills, and good decision-making would significantly contribute. These qualities, combined with my dedication and passion for any task of the United Nations, would enable me, I believe, to make a positive impact, and I look forward to contributing to the work for the United Nations in Field Locations.
