Dennis W.

Managing construction projects across multiple sites, contractors, and reporting lines is complex. I help construction companies, developers, and donor-funded organisations stay in control of that complexity, from baseline to closeout, without the overhead of a full-time hire. I am a PMP-certified Construction Project Manager with over nine years of experience delivering complex infrastructure programmes across East and Sub-Saharan Africa. I have managed multi-site portfolios worth up to USD 40M, led PMO setups from scratch across five countries, and produced board-level reporting for institutional clients including the Global Fund and the Ministry of Health. What I bring to your project: ✔ PMO Setup and Governance Frameworks built from scratch ✔ Construction Schedule Development and Recovery Planning (MS Project, Smartsheet, Primavera P6) ✔ Budget Monitoring, Cost Tracking, and Variance Reporting ✔ Risk Register Development and Management ✔ Contractor and Subcontractor Performance Management ✔ RFI and Submittal Review and Tracking ✔ Earned Value Management and Progress Reporting ✔ Executive Dashboards and Donor-Facing Reports (Power BI, Smartsheet) ✔ Commissioning, Handover, and Close-Out Management ✔ Quantity Takeoff, BOQ Preparation, and Bid Support ✔ Construction Estimating and Cost Planning Recent programme highlights: 85-facility healthcare infrastructure programme across 20 counties in Kenya, USD 8M+, Global Fund financing, owner-side PM and PMO governance across five concurrent contractor packages BSL-3 laboratory refurbishment at the National Public Health Laboratories, Nairobi, coordinating specialist suppliers from Kenya, Dubai, Switzerland, Thailand, and Japan Five-country industrial CAPEX programme, USD 15M+, Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, DRC, and Mozambique, PMO established from scratch, EVM tracking, multi-PM team management I am particularly strong in environments where governance systems do not yet exist, where multiple contractors need to be held accountable simultaneously, and where reporting needs to be clear, accurate, and decision-ready for senior audiences.
