About Shahadat Sikdar

Raised in a modest family where every achievement tells a story of resilience, sacrifice, and determination—I’ve built my engineering journey on the foundation of grit, gratitude, and purpose. With over 12 years of experience in manufacturing, utility systems, and capital project execution, I bring a hands-on, results-driven approach to engineering. Currently pursuing my Master’s in Industrial Engineering at Lamar University, I continue to expand my capabilities while drawing strength from a solid foundation in Mechanical Engineering.From leading multi-million dollar sterile and oral solid dosage facility projects to implementing HVAC, cleanroom, and water purification systems (PW, WFI, PSG), my journey has been about building efficient, compliant, and sustainable engineering solutions. I’ve worked across the lifecycle of utility systems—from conceptual design review and equipment procurement to commissioning and maintenance—driving results in high-stakes, regulated environments.What sets me apart is my deep involvement in: Water Purification Systems (design verification, installation & operation and maintenance of pre-treatment, purified water, WFI, pure steam systems) HVAC & Cleanroom Systems (design reviews, URS, commissioning of systems up to 2280 TR) Utility Operations & Maintenance (Black & clean utility piping, compressed air, boilers, ETP/STP, fire detection & protection systems) Capital Project Management (oversaw $70M+ projects, developed budgets, schedules, and procurement strategies) Cross-functional Leadership (worked closely with consultants, internal departments, vendors, and local and international suppliers)To strengthen my project management capabilities, I have completed 35 PDUs in PMP training, which significantly enhanced my understanding of project planning, execution, risk management, and stakeholder engagement. As a certified CSCM and active ASHRAE member, I stay engaged with best practices and regulatory standards.
