What I'm looking for

I seek senior MEP roles where I can lead end-to-end mechanical delivery—execution, commissioning, and team coordination—within technically rigorous, safety-focused projects offering growth and impact.

I am a senior MEP mechanical engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience delivering HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection systems across infrastructure, data center, energy, and rail projects. I have led site execution, testing and commissioning, vendor and subcontractor management, and quality/compliance activities while driving cost savings and productivity improvements.

I integrate design review, planning, and resource management to complete projects on schedule and within budget, skilled in international and local codes (ASHRAE, NFPA, SMACNA, ANSI, ASME, ASTM, NBC and regional standards). I hold a BE in Mechanical Engineering, NEBOSH IGC certification, and practical expertise with AutoCAD, Revit MEP and Primavera P6.
