What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading large MEP/EPC projects where I can apply cost control, technical leadership, and stakeholder management to deliver complex industrial or data-centre builds.

I am a result-oriented project management professional with 28+ years of national and international experience in MEP contracting, EPC projects and electrical engineering. I lead large teams and manage budgets, procurement, QA/QC and stakeholder coordination to deliver complex industrial, pharmaceutical, semiconductor and data centre projects.

My career highlights include leading FAB electrification for a semiconductor plant, delivering multi-MVA substations and switchyards, completing high-value electrical packages for tyre, automotive and manufacturing clients, and executing large data-centre and hospital MEP works. I apply rigorous cost control, value engineering and schedule management to achieve on-time, on-budget outcomes.

I bring hands-on site coordination, vendor and client management, and design-control experience, and I leverage tools such as AutoCAD and MS Office to drive quality, safety and financial performance. I am committed to sustainable practices and continuous improvement across project delivery.
