What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging role that fosters growth and innovation in project management.

With over 32 years of experience in engineering and construction, I have developed a robust skill set in project planning and control, particularly within the oil and gas sector. My journey has taken me through various roles, culminating in my current position as Lead Progress and Schedule Control. I have a proven track record of managing complex projects, ensuring they are completed on time and within budget.

Throughout my career, I have specialized in using Primavera and Microsoft Office applications to create detailed construction schedules and manage project risks effectively. My ability to assess project productivity and implement solutions has been instrumental in overcoming challenges and enhancing project outcomes. I thrive in collaborative environments, coordinating with multiple disciplines to ensure seamless execution of project plans.
