in addition to my MEng Mechanical Engineering degree (Honours), I have also completed a Masters degree in Engineering Project Management (Merits), which allows me to work effectively and efficiently within different stages of projects, such as design, construction and installation.

I have experience in Project Engineering (Conceptual, FEED and EPC) with Total, Foster Wheeler, Siemens and PDVSA (Venezuelan Oil Company) participating in all the stages of projects from preparation of basis of design to construction, installation and commissioning.

I have worked in large LNG projects with Shell (in Nigeria and Australia) which involved the design (UK) and construction (Thailand) of the whole plant into modules. Also I have worked in Tank farms, Pipelines and Refinery projects for Total, ExxonMobil and PDVSA (England and Venezuela).

In general, these works involved responsibility of providing mechanical support (design and maintenance) multidiscipline coordination as well as participating in managing projects throughout its life cycle so as to comply with budget, time and quality required. This included bid preparation, design, detailed planning/scheduling and detailed activities as well as supervising and performing maintenance / quality tasks such as vibrations analysis and other non destructive testing activities.

Team working and under pressure are my strongest strengths apart from excellent communication and organization.
