My background includes more than 20 years combined experience in construction & engineering, plant commissioning & operational readiness work in countries such as Australia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Japan and the Philippines. I had played key roles as team leader and player with project controls for over 15 years and project management and supervision for more than 5 years. I had worked for various government institutions as well as key players in the business such as BHP Billiton, Chevron, Petron, Bechtel and Parsons just to name a few.
My key expertise involves seamless systems integration of Primavera or MS Project software with client propriety or existing controls system, and making available reliable project information at the shortest time possible.
