Operations Engineer ACHIEVEMENTS 1. Successfully organized a cross-sectional safety training for contractors working in my section on how to deal with risks and hazards emanating from the job and the host communities. This was picked up by Management and later implemented across all sections as a periodic training alongside the routine toolbox meetings. 2. As a proactive measure to complete project on time, I compiled all permits and training required of my contractors in relation to the activities we were carrying out. With the help of the Safety Rep. for my section, I was able to complete all permitting procedures ahead to time which helped the construction activities to be completed with a 24-day Lead time. 3. Through proper negotiations and communications, I was able to carry out clearing activities on several farms for the project to commence before payments were made to the affected farmers. This was during the early COVID-19 era where project funds were not coming in but work had to go on.
