Site engineer — civil engineering
Engr. Suleman
Hakeem
I turn engineering plans into real world infrastructure — build safely, efficiently, and to the highest standereds.
On site, on schedule, on spec.
I’m a civil engineer with 4+ years across highways, bridges, and infrastructure, currently working as a Site Engineer with China Gezhouba Group Corporation (CGGC) on the Dasu Hydropower Project — one of Pakistan’s most significant hydropower developments.
My work sits at the intersection of drawing and dirt: reading shop drawings and bar bending schedules in the morning, then walking the deck to check rebar spacing, formwork alignment, and concrete pours against them in the afternoon. Quality, safety, and progress are the three things I answer for on any given day at KKH‑2.
Before joining the Dasu site, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering at Iqra National University, Peshawar, with a final‑year research focus on stabilizing expansive soil.

Revision history
Four years across highways, structures and hydropower — read like a drawing log, each entry a stage of the same career.
K37 Looter Bridge
A reinforced‑concrete arch carrying the realigned Karakoram Highway across the Indus gorge at the Dasu dam site.
The bridge carries the KKH‑2 realignment across a narrow gorge on the Indus, directly downstream of the Dasu dam works — a reinforced‑concrete arch founded on piled abutments driven deep into rock.
As Site Engineer, my work on K37 has run from rebar cage fabrication and pier bent cap reinforcement through arch ring closure to deck concrete pours — checking every stage against the shop drawings before it gets signed off.
K37 Looter Bridge, complete
The finished arch, carrying the realigned Karakoram Highway across the Indus gorge.
Every pour starts on paper.
Bar bending schedules, skewback reinforcement layouts, weld notes — before a single cage goes into formwork, it’s checked against the DASU‑KKH‑02 shop drawings on site, marker in hand.
