Project Engineer experienced in delivering capital and infrastructure projects from planning through execution. I bring a strong foundation in mechanical systems paired with hands‑on project management responsibilities including scope coordination, contractor oversight, schedule tracking, and cost control. I work closely with electrical and multidisciplinary teams to ensure integrated, constructible solutions that meet project objectives. In addition to design and coordination, I have over four years of experience as a Field Engineer within industrial environments, providing a practical understanding of how projects are built and operated. My field experience includes crane and rigging coordination, electrical wiring, equipment programming, and commissioning support, as well as operating and optimizing industrial equipment. This blend of field execution and project engineering allows me to effectively manage contractors, anticipate constructability risks, and deliver projects safely, on schedule, and within budget.
