As a versatile construction project and operations leader, I bring to the table 20+ combined years of experience, with specialization in the complex petrochemicals space. Leveraging hands-on technical expertise and supervisory skills, I deliver challenging projects within budget, time, and quality constraints. I’m also known for my proactive approach to job site safety, working tirelessly to prevent incidents by enforcing rigorous controls and protocols.One of my core talents is driving strategic change. I offer a track record of introducing new technologies, processes, and solutions to reduce costs, save time, and facilitate smooth project execution. I’ve also proven myself a turnaround specialist who transforms underachieving teams into top-performing results producers. I’m a people-first culture builder. Developing culturally diverse teams of employees and contractors with a range of skills, perspectives, and backgrounds is my passion. I unlock the potential of staff to fuel job satisfaction and improve the company’s overall bottom line.
