About Me

Civil Engineer and Systems Thinker with extensive experience delivering major infrastructure schemes, including HS2 and highway projects. I combine deep site execution knowledge with advanced digital capabilities to bridge the gap between physical construction and digital logic.

Mosbah Khalaf – Civil Engineer

Mosbah Khalaf

I graduated from Loughborough University with a First Class Honours degree in Civil Engineering — achieving the second highest mark in my year group. Since then, I've spent over 6 years working on some of the UK's most significant infrastructure projects.

My career spans from award-winning footbridge construction to leading engineering teams across HS2 viaducts and highway schemes. I specialise in precise setting out, structural inspections, BIM coordination, and digital construction — consistently maintaining tolerances within 5mm of design specifications.

Beyond site work, I'm passionate about digital tools and their application in construction. I'm proficient in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, and have full-stack development capabilities (React Native, Python), which allows me to bring a unique perspective to project delivery and optimisation.
