What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Senior Project Manager role with a Dallas–Fort Worth organization where I can lead infrastructure portfolios, develop teams, and strengthen operational excellence in public-sector project delivery.

At VINCI Construction Grands Projets, I provide strategic oversight for utility infrastructure within the USD 3 billion I-64 Expansion for VDOT, covering water, sewer, drainage, gas, and telecom scopes.

I resolve complex design and scope conflicts, coordinate subcontractors and utility owners, and manage permits, inspections, budgets, and schedules to protect critical-path delivery. My teams achieved 100% safety compliance with zero lost-time incidents.

Previously at Qatari Diar Vinci Construction, I delivered airfield pavement, bridges, tunnel structures, and civil works for the Qatar Armed Forces and Ashghal/PWA. I managed procurement, site logistics, QA/QC, resource planning, and schedule recovery across high-security and multi-phase projects.

I'm a PMP-certified civil engineer who builds practical dashboards and reporting tools, mentors engineering teams, and brings 12+ years of infrastructure delivery experience to public-sector programs.
