Lewis Kakudu: Welcome to the team!

Join us in welcoming Lewis Kakudu, who brings invaluable expertise to our team. Hailing from Uganda, Lewis is a specialist in the field of surveying.

The Role of a Surveyor

With his extensive expertise, Lewis will play a vital role in conducting subsurface utility information surveys, producing utility and ground models, performing construction set out and topographic surveys. 

Using advanced equipment, Lewis will gather and analyse data to create accurate representations of land and structures, including boundaries, elevations, and utility locations. 

His work will contribute to comprehensive reports, aiding decision-making and reducing risks in planning and construction projects by integrating crucial utility information into the design and development process.

Working with the Durkin Team

Durkin provides a supportive and inclusive work environment for its employees, and Lewis finds great satisfaction in working for a company that prioritises professional growth and personal development. 

“At Durkin, you have all the resources and support you need to better yourself professionally. Help is always available from whoever you are comfortable to ask and everyone is willing to help out in whatever way they can as we create certainty from uncertainty” added Lewis.

Whether it's seeking guidance from experienced colleagues or attending professional development opportunities, the company offers continuous opportunities for learning and improvement.

One of the aspects that Lewis finds most enjoyable about working at Durkin is the company's diverse workforce. “Durkin is also a very diverse company. It's like working with people from across the whole world”, said Lewis. 

The Durkin team comprises individuals from various cultural backgrounds, creating an enriching and inclusive environment. 

Lewis values the opportunity to learn about different cultures and build friendships with colleagues from around the world. This diverse setting not only enhances teamwork but also promotes a more holistic approach to problem-solving and decision-making.

Lewis's Hidden Talents

While Lewis's professional achievements are impressive, there's more to him than meets the eye. Throughout his academic life, he consistently excelled and was often at the top of his class. This commitment to excellence has carried over into his career, where he consistently strives to deliver the best results possible. 

Lewis's determination to do everything to the best of his ability will set him apart and make him a valuable asset to the Durkin team and our clients.

In Lewis’ words: “Durkin took a chance on me and brought me to this very big beautiful country”
