Chrispin Ajedipe

Environmental Engineer
Accra,Greater Accra

Summary

I am an engineer with over 7 years of work experience in the waste management sector. My focus in this sector is on landfill design & operation, wastewater/drinking water treatment and environmental sustainability. In my current role as a design and research engineer, also double as the chairman of the innovation team of my company, I lead a team of dedicated engineers in designing sanitary landfills and wastewater treatment systems across Ghana and other West African countries. I am also passionate about global issues such as global warming and leading my team to develop strategies that will minimize our carbon print in the environment.
I am a self-motivated person and can initiate tasks and develop new ideas. I am intelligent and a fast learner. Roles and
responsibilities assigned to me are performed with minimal supervision. I am an excellent team player and can work with diverse
groups of people as a result of my affable nature. Most of all, I am a goal-oriented person.
