What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role where I can manage complex systems and processes, improve operational efficiency, and minimize downtime—using my troubleshooting, maintenance, and operations experience to maximize productivity with reliable, safety-focused execution.

I am an adaptive professional with a strong foundation in Petroleum Engineering Technology, focused on managing complex systems and improving operational efficiencies. Through roles at Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company Limited (WRPC), I helped monitor plant operations, reviewed production and quality, maintained records of daily/weekly/monthly production variables, and supported maintenance technicians with troubleshooting and repairs in the FCC unit.

I also bring hands-on experience beyond plant operations, including optimizing supply chain efficiency and managing logistics operations at Dufil Prima Foods Nigeria Limited—driving a 10% reduction in overall costs. From supporting drone pre-flight checks, calibration, and safe data collection to maintaining operational compliance and minimizing downtime through inspections, maintenance, and documentation, I aim to maximize productivity while keeping systems reliable.
