Project Manager in Oil & Gas who improved cathodic protection from 26% to 98% across 350 km of pipeline.

France
Message

At NATIONAL NATURAL GAS CONTROL CENTER, I worked on maintenance, safety, civil works, and corrosion projects in Oil & Gas. I planned and supervised maintenance and audits, and led construction of corrosion prevention facilities.

I enhanced cathodic protection from 26% to 98% over 350 km in accordance with NACE/AMPP standards. I also supervised pipeline repairs and facility rehabilitation, helping increase the share of facilities updated to international standards from 32% to 91%.

My work included QHSE supervision, risk assessments, HAZOP studies, RBI, and norm audits. I also handled tender evaluations, acquisitions, OPEX/CAPEX budgets, and progress and KPI reporting using Power BI and Balanced Scorecards.

At Mekano X Polshka, I completed an internship in CAD design and project management for the food industry, including framework implementation and industrial design projects. I’m a Mechanical Engineer with a Master’s in International Business Engineering, and I’m currently pursuing an IT & Digitalization master’s degree at IT-Universitetet i København.
