What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior project or EPC leadership in transmission/substation infrastructure where I can lead delivery, mentor teams, and drive safe, on‑time, on‑budget execution.

I am an Industrial Engineer and experienced High Voltage Works and Maintenance Project Manager with extensive experience leading transmission lines, substations and large EPC projects across Peru and Latin America. I have led multi‑hundred‑million dollar turnkey projects, managed large on‑site teams, and delivered complex construction, assembly and commissioning works on schedule and within budget.

As a commercial and operations leader, I co‑founded and served in executive roles for SPVs and engineering ventures, acted as general manager for electrical concessions, and held project and EPC leadership positions at Abengoa, Quanta Services, Cobra Peru and Acciona Concesiones. My work highlights include successful delivery and safe execution of major projects (including Cerro Verde works and 500/220 kV transmission schemes) and founding two SPVs with over USD 200M contracted.

I bring hands‑on construction management, stakeholder and client relationship skills, permit and social management experience, and a pragmatic focus on safety and environmental performance. I am seeking project leadership roles where I can drive large infrastructure delivery, mentor teams, and contribute to regulated transmission and renewable energy growth.
