About Me

Experienced Freelance Civil Site Engineer with Over 20 Years of Expertise in the Industry

I am a highly experienced Freelance Site Site Engineer with a career spanning over two decades in the industry. My comprehensive knowledge of construction and civil engineering is the result of my extensive background in the field. I primarily operate in the Market Rasen area and its surrounding regions in Lincolnshire, UK, but my expertise extends beyond these boundaries. As a professional, I maintain a formal tone of voice in all my interactions.

What Services I'm Providing

Land Survey

I’m a site engineer, and one of my main jobs is doing a ‘Land Survey’. This isn’t just drawing the edges of a piece of land. I look closely at the land to find where its boundaries are, its highs and lows, and other special features like hills or ponds. I write down everything I see. If there’s a big pile of dirt on the site, I also measure how much is there. This helps us plan what to do with that dirt, like whether to move it, use it, or keep it there. Basically, the Land Survey helps us know the land well so we can build things the right way.

My Skills

Total stations and gnss

Total Stations and GNSS are advanced surveying tools that allow for precise measurement and mapping of construction sites. As a seasoned Construction Site Engineer, I am proficient in the use of these instruments, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in all aspects of the construction process.

Autocad

As a seasoned Construction Site Engineer, I possess a strong knowledge of AutoCad, a computer-aided drafting software used in the construction industry. With my expertise in this software, I am able to create detailed and accurate drawings that aid in the planning and execution of construction projects.

Archicad and bim

As a Construction Site Engineer with over 20 years of experience, my strong knowledge of ArchiCad and BIM has proven to be invaluable in ensuring the successful completion of projects. With these skills, I am able to effectively collaborate with architects and designers, streamline processes, and produce accurate and detailed construction plans.
