In the chemical and process industries, rising costs, delayed projects, and sustainability pressures often stem from inefficient designs and outdated operations. These challenges don’t just impact margins—they slow growth and compromise long-term competitiveness. I am a results-driven engineering professional with over 15 years of experience in process design, project management, and operational excellence within the energy sector. My career has focused on delivering complex, high-value projects from concept through execution, ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards while meeting performance and budget targets. I bring expertise in project management, sustainability, process safety, HAZID/HAZOP, risk management, and process optimization, combined with strong leadership and stakeholder engagement skills. Throughout my roles, I have successfully led multi-million-euro projects, chaired national energy committees, and implemented strategies that improve efficiency and foster collaboration across diverse teams. With a proven track record in continuous improvement, health and safety compliance, and performance optimization, I aim to help organisations future-proof operations and achieve sustainable growth. Currently, I am seeking opportunities to contribute to UK-based organisations that value innovation, reliability, and operational excellence.
