I have a proven ability to efficiently manage multimillion-dollar contracts and companies with high profit margins and zero LTIs. My career progression from a sheet metal worker's apprentice to an ASIC-registered operations director, demonstrates deep construction, engineering, and industrial services expertise. I have led complex infrastructure projects across commercial and industrial sectors, including housing developments, high-rise buildings, hospitals, data centers, shopping centers, airports, oil and gas facilities, mining production plants, power generation stations, and waste-to-energy projects.
My core skill sets as a general contractor and project executive spans multiple disciplines: mechanical (piping, structural steel), electrical (high-voltage systems, instrumentation), HVAC (chillers, ducting, refrigeration), insulation and fireproofing (passive fire protection, thermal barriers), scaffolding and rope access (industrial height safety), fit-outs and refurbishments (interior construction, tenant improvements), manufacturing and fabrication (modular builds, prefabrication), logistics (fleet management, mobile equipment optimization), building automation (smart systems, IoT integration), and full turnkey project execution.
I played a pivotal role in growing a business from $100 million to $750 million in revenue with a 23% EBITDA, overseeing large-scale workforce operations with 1,500+ craft labor on sites, 150 manufacturing workshop personnel in a 17,000 sqm fabrication facility, and 600+ mobile and fixed assets deployed across multiple sites. My commercial acumen enabled me to estimate, win, manage, and execute 600+ contracts, ranging from $500K to $1 billion, across diverse sectors such as construction, oil and gas, mining, industrial maintenance, and infrastructure development.
