What I'm looking for

I’m looking for industrial and mining projects where I can lead instrumentation, precommissioning/commissioning, and DCS startup, partnering with teams on safety, quality, and technical compliance. I want to keep growing while optimizing operations using instrumentation and controls best practices.

I’m an Industrial Civil Engineer and Electronics Engineer focused on instrumentation, commissioning, and startup processes in industrial environments. I bring more than 7 years of hands-on leadership in maintenance, instrumentation, and operational optimization.

In recent roles, I’ve led electrical and instrumentation precommissioning and supported functional testing and startup for concentrator and related systems. I verify and adjust electrical and instrumentation equipment during pre-operation stages, ensuring readiness for safe, smooth commissioning.

I also supervise engineering project execution with strong technical, quality, and safety alignment. I coordinate installation, calibration, loop testing, and corrective actions, including DCS integration verification in Emerson DeltaV, along with alarm management configuration.

I’m motivated to continue growing professionally in industrial and mining projects where I can apply ISA/IEC/API standards, interpret electrical drawings and P&ID, and drive process improvements through reliable industrial control systems. My approach is collaborative, analytical, and process-oriented—always aiming to optimize performance and reduce operational risk.
