What I'm looking for

I’m interested in procurement, sourcing, and engineering support, including fixed-term or remote technical-commercial assignments.

At Denron Engineering Services Ltd., I translate client engineering specifications into RFQs, technical-commercial comparisons, costing analyses, and competitive quotations. I research international suppliers and assess their offers for technical compliance and procurement requirements.

As Project Manager for the UDC Portmore Resilience Project, I coordinate technical, procurement, commercial, and execution activities. I also supported four internationally awarded competitive bids through specification reviews, supplier enquiries, pricing, and proposal preparation.

At Jamalco, I supported calcination circuit improvement projects and designed lab-based trials focused on hydrate particle stability. I also ran in-field flocculant trials and Kaizen initiatives that reduced reagent wastage, created a vacuum pump systems SOP, and reported process KPIs.

My experience also includes supporting a lime slacking plant upgrade at Jamalco and process data collection and operational monitoring at Barbados Light and Power Company and Emera Caribbean. I’m interested in procurement, sourcing, engineering support, and fixed-term or remote technical-commercial assignments.
