Karen Mae S. Peracho

Hi, I’m Karen Mae Peracho, but please, just call me Karen. I’m not the typical Karen you hear jokes about. I’m a licensed Civil Engineer in the Philippines with about 7 years of experience, and I’ve been lucky enough to work on both vertical and horizontal projects, which gave me a well-rounded foundation in the field.

I actually started as an Office Engineer, doing detailed work like quantity take-offs, material estimates, contractor billings, and accomplishment reports. Within three months, I was promoted to Site Engineer because of my strong attention to detail and ability to manage operations effectively. From there, I made sure projects didn’t just get done, but got done on time and within budget.

To challenge myself further, I moved into a company specializing in ports and harbor development. That’s where I gained exposure to large-scale horizontal projects like railroads, roads, drainage systems, and ports. On the side, I also take on part-time estimating projects, which keep my cost analysis and forecasting skills sharp.

So, whether it’s estimation or engineering, I see myself as someone who can deliver accurate solutions while also bringing real value and teamwork to every project I take on. And of course, if we find we’re a good fit, I’d love the opportunity to work with you and add value to your company.

Aside from my experience as a Licensed Civil Engineer, I also possess strong time management, patience, organization, adaptability, detail orientation, and, of course, reliability. I am skilled in using Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive, Gmail, Calendar) and Microsoft Office for efficient task management and collaboration. My background has equipped me with excellent documentation, scheduling, reporting, and communication skills, which allow me to support both administrative tasks and project-related responsibilities. I bring a balance of technical knowledge and administrative capability, ensuring clients receive accurate, reliable, and well-organized support.

I believe I would be a valuable addition to your team because I bring both technical expertise as a Licensed Civil Engineer and strong administrative skills. I have solid experience in project supervision, estimating, subcontractor billing, and documentation, while also being highly capable in handling data entry, scheduling, reporting, and coordination tasks. This dual skill set allows me to support clients not only on the engineering side but also with administrative processes, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and reliable results. My adaptability, attention to detail, and proficiency with tools such as AutoCAD, STAAD, Microsoft Office, and Google Workspace will enable me to contribute effectively to your team and deliver added value to clients.
