What I'm looking for

I seek a senior project controls/management role in a reputable organisation to lead planning, cost control and claims resolution, mentor teams, and deliver large infrastructure and O&G projects while improving schedule and budget performance.

I am a project planning and controls professional with 33 years of experience, including 23 years of international exposure across buildings, infrastructure and oil & gas projects. I hold PMP, PSP and CCP certifications and specialise in planning, scheduling and cost control.

I have led project controls on multi‑billion QAR programmes and major projects such as Sidra Medical Research Centre and Lusail Stadium, and executed EPC and specialty chemical plants, corporate relocations and villas across the Middle East and Asia. I regularly supervise and mentor planning teams and coordinate with contractors, consultants and clients to minimise claims and optimise cash flow. My strengths include claims analysis, contract administration, value engineering and delivering cost‑effective solutions.

I am motivated to take senior management responsibility in project control or project management roles where I can apply Primavera and earned value techniques to drive schedule and budget performance, reduce risk and develop high‑performing teams.
