Summary
I am an experienced Project Manager with a 30-year track-record in engineering and construction, working with first & second tier, local and international engineering and building contractors.
My main area expertise revolves around structures, civil, mechanical processes, hydraulics and electrical and includes managing projects from the initial design phase to delivery and completion.
I am an effective client manager, manager of sub-contractors and contracts administrator. Having a very high technical mindset, I am comfortable discussing engineering and technical matters with various levels of stakeholders, engineers and consultants. I have previously worked with large engineering firms in design coordination and business development roles working largely in EPCM and D&C environments.
You will also note my experience working on international projects with mufti-national engineering firms and contractors in Asia, the Pacific, Middle East and the Americas. This includes expat roles in Asia and the Pacific.
With considerable experience in estimating, tendering and business development (infrastructure projects), working in construction, project and site management roles, I have a relatively strong understanding of the decision-making processes associated with a project’s lifecycle, resulting in a holistic approach to managing a project.
