Here is the first of many profiles, that I will be sharing. Please suggest people if you would like.
My name is Dr. Ozak Esu from Nigeria. I work at Hilti, as a Technical Project Manager, R&D. Hilti employs 30,000 people around the world, in more than 120 countries, who contribute to making work on construction sites simpler, faster, and safer. Within this multinational, high-performance, and collaborative work environment, I lead the research and development of innovations in fastening applications and technology at the Corporate Research and Technology Centre in the Principality of Liechtenstein.
Walk us through your engineering journey from Nigeria to Switzerland
Born and raised in Nigeria, I began my academic and professional career in the UK, where I spent 12 years, before permanently relocating to Switzerland at the start of 2021.I was good at Mathematics, Further Mathematics, and Physics at school. Through guidance from my parents and tutors, I pursued a career in engineering. My inspiration to specialize in electronic and electrical engineering came from my experience. While growing up in Nigeria, I experienced shortages in energy and power supply. I aspired to contribute to fixing the problem.
For my undergraduate degree, I moved to the UK from Nigeria and joined Loughborough University. I graduated with a first-class and was awarded a scholarship to advance straight to my Ph.D. in the same engineering discipline.
In 2014, I joined the Construction and Built Environment Industry as a Graduate Engineer, designing electrical building services (lighting, power, data, containment, fire alarm, and security systems). Later, I moved on to pursue strategic research exploring Smart Buildings, innovations, and new technologies. In that time, I have won awards and achieved Chartership through the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).
