What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a safety-focused oil & gas role where I can lead piping design and execution on large projects, mentor teams, drive efficiency gains, and expand my project management responsibilities.

I'm a dedicated pipefitter and piping engineer with over 10 years of hands‑on experience delivering piping design, layout and installation across oil and gas projects. I execute work from concept to completion while maintaining strict adherence to industry standards.

I have led piping design and layout on projects valued at over $20 million, improving system efficiency by 15% and conducting more than 50 stress analyses to ensure ASME and API compliance. I achieved zero safety incidents over a three‑year period and conducted 30+ hydrostatic pressure tests with a 100% pass rate.

My technical toolkit includes AutoCAD, PDMS, SmartPlant, Microsoft Office, HTML5 and WordPress, plus welding techniques (stick, TIG, MIG) and hydrostatic testing methods. I also drive improvements in project delivery through structured quality assurance, stress and support design, and stakeholder coordination.

I mentor and train junior engineers, having developed training programs that raised team productivity and reduced errors. I'm focused on contributing technical leadership, safety discipline and measurable efficiency gains to future oil and gas piping projects.
