What I'm looking for

Seasoned remote project manager and bilingual professional with 25+ years in oil & gas, engineering, and education. Adept in leading multimillion-dollar global operations, technical training, and remote field teams. Certified in Scrum, Six Sigma, SAP, and Primavera P6. Currently pursuing an MBA.

Experienced Remote Project Manager | Oilfield & Technical Operations Leader | MBA (In Progress)

I’m a results-driven project manager with over 25 years of experience leading cross-functional teams and delivering multimillion-dollar projects in high-risk, high-pressure environments. From rig-less completions in the UAE to remote field operations across North America, I’ve built a career on precision, adaptability, and accountability.

My leadership style emphasizes clear communication, safety, and resource optimization—skills honed through decades of supervising 100+ personnel, coordinating logistics, and ensuring operational excellence. I’ve also delivered specialized fabrication solutions and bilingual documentation across borders.

Since 2020, I’ve expanded into freelance technical services and English instruction, maintaining hands-on relevance while earning certifications in SAP MM, Six Sigma, Primavera P6, and Salesforce Cloud. Currently pursuing an MBA to deepen my impact in SaaS, ERP, and international project delivery.
