What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can drive end-to-end project engineering execution—planning, risk/cost control, vendor coordination, and commissioning—while mentoring teams and improving processes for reliable delivery.

I’m a versatile, high-energy project professional with over 20 years in Project Management, Project planning, Project Engineering, and Project budgeting, delivering results through hard work and dedication.

In my recent role as Manager-Project Engineering at Tecnimont Private Limited, I lead detailed project planning, monitoring and control, participate in HAZOP and 3D Model activities, and manage coordination between licensors, clients, and construction partners. I also oversee risk table updates, proposal activities, and pre-commissioning/commissioning readiness.

Previously, as Project Control Manager at Petroexcel Technology Services Pvt. Ltd., I supported execution through monthly/weekly reviews, lookahead schedule and deliverables follow-ups, and engineering contractor coordination. Earlier, as Deputy Engineering Manager at TOYO ENGINEERING INDIA LTD., I handled contract understanding, KOM activities, vendor and subcontractor negotiations, billing alignment, cost tracking of procurement, and progress/cost outflow-inflow review.

Across my background—from Project Engineer roles to senior engineering leadership—I’ve consistently focused on vendor management, engineering deliverables, change order procedures, reporting & documentation, and lesson learned updates, with strong communication, analytical problem-solving, and leadership in execution.
