(Part Two)
Hi Geungong Kim,
I have some suggestions to share with you:
(1) I assume that you started working in the construction sector some time in the past, and continued working for a period of seven years. You are still working in this sector now. If this is the case, you can use the present perfect continuous tense to describe something that started in the past, and continued to take place for a period of time till now. Present perfect continuous tense is created with this structure: has/have + been + verb-ing.
(2) Although "civil engineer" is a job title, it is not a proper noun as there are many civil engineers in the world. Therefore, your "c" and "e" need not be capitalised.
(3) When someone decides to expand a business into a foreign market, we say that the company is "venturing overseas". We can also say that this is an "overseas venture".
* There are some parts in blue which I personally find confusing. For example, "due diligence" means that you have done everything possible in your capacity to ensure that your task is carried out smoothly. You cannot be "in charge of "'due diligence", which is your working style. Instead, you display a certain working style (I have shown due diligence when handling this project.)
^ I highlighted a few words in green as I do not know if you have taken part in the construction of multiple infrastructures. For example, if you have managed more than one airport, subway, bridge and dam, they have to be pluralised. If you have managed one of each, the indefinite article "a" is needed (........, having taken part in the construction of an airport, a subway, a bridge and a dam.)
I hope this helps.

2. Why did you leave your last job?I’m looking for new challenges. About 9 years ago, I moved (1) branched out from (2) a construction company to (2) an energy company. It was challenging but definitely it worth it, as I could (3) was able to expand my experiences and career as an energy developer.
I’m sure it’s (4) this will be a second chance to grow up myself.
Hi Geungong Kim,
(1) You can use the phrasal verb "branched out" to mean that you did something different from your usual job responsibilities.
(2) You need articles to describe the companies. Since you did not specify which companies you worked in, you need indefinite articles "a" or "an".
(3) There is nothing wrong with your use of "could"; however, I used "was able to" to express your growth more affirmatively.
(4) I used "this will be" as you are focusing on your second chance.
I hope this helps.
