Energy and Environmental Engineer

I would like to further my career, working within a challenging environment that would enable me to use skills that have been highly developed throughout my current and previous occupations and provide opportunities for self-development.

Sept. 2008 – June 2009
Integral Computing and Research Centre
Research Assistant (Intern)
• During this period, I worked with a team of software developers and programmers, to develop some software programmes, which are required for either academic or industrial purpose. This experience provided me a basic knowledge of VB6, VB.Net, Matlab, Excel programming, and MS Acess.
• I was actively involved in some engineering designs using AutoCAD as well as process modelling using Aspen HYSYS.
• This experience really sharpened my aptitude for problem-solving and three-dimensional conceptualisation, as well as my creativity and imagination.

Oct 2007- Sept 2008
Guinness Nigeria Plc
Project Officer (Intern)
• I was involved in a project captioned “engineering data and spares harmonization project”. Our aim was to simplify the organization’s business model.
• My specific roles were to present the equipment’s fuel consumption analysis and data in a written report, carryout an inventory control of the engineering spares, and attend to the logistics and procurement issues using MAXIMO suites.
• By launching and operating the SAP software, we were able to update and harmonize all the engineering data (including spares and consumables information) across Guinness locations in West-Africa.
• This experience enhanced my team-working, communication, and organizational skills, as well as my ability to deal with problems in stressful situations.

Sept 2006 – Sept 2007
National Youth Service Corps
Corps Member

• During this period, I assisted with teaching final-year secondary (high) school students that were preparing to write the SSCE/GCE O-level exams. I taught them mathematics, chemistry and geography.
• I also served as a leader in a community development service programme. Here, I motivated and mobilized my colleagues to organize some enlightenment and humanitarian programmes that will aid rural development in Nigeria. Some of our projects included: organizing free computer training, poverty eradication and environmental awareness programmes to members of our host communities. Consequently, I was awarded a “Certificate of National Service” by the Nigerian Government.
• Participating in the national service really improved my leadership, team-working and presentation skills.

MSc. Energy and Environment (in view) (2009 – 2010)
University of Leeds, United Kingdom
• The programme covers modules in new energy technologies (advanced and renewable sources of energy), the treatment and control techniques of wastes from various sources, alternative fuels, contaminant and dispersion processes, using computer predicting tools for the assessment of environmental impacts of controlled energy processes, and the prevention and mitigation of accidents.
• I have developed my experimental and analytical skills through laboratory or field practical work, and acquired fluency in computer based research and diagnostics tools in energy and environment issues.

B.Eng Soil and Water Engineering (Second Class Upper Division) (2001 – 2006)
Federal University of Technology Owerri, Nigeria
• Degree covered several courses in: engineering, mathematics, earth-sciences, water resources, economics, and management.

Integral Computing and Research Centre
• Training on Computer Programming and Software Development.

AspenTech in collaboration with PTDF
• Engineering Design Training on Process Modelling Using Aspen HYSYS

I am currently studying under the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF), Overseas MSc. Scholarship Award (2009/2010)
