About

As a Structural Engineer with 35 years of international experience, I have designed and analysed a wide range of structural steelwork projects for the Oil & Gas sector, covering onshore industrial buildings, offshore structures, and subsea systems. I have collaborated with multiple disciplines, third parties, and vendors, and delivered high-quality solutions that meet the project specifications, standards, and codes. My core competencies include detailed design, connection design, project engineering, and technical advice and expertise. I have proficiency in using modern software technology, such as SESAM, SACs, NSO, StaadPro, OpenStaad, AutoCAD, and Excel VBA, and I can adapt quickly and efficiently to different project requirements. My most recent role was Lead Structural Engineer at DORIS Group, where I worked on the FEED conversion of an oil terminal to LNG in Gabon.
