Linz, Upper Austria, Austria
I am a reliable, confident, and well-organized professional with around two decades of experience in the steelmaking industry. Throughout my career at Primetals Technologies and the former Siemens VAI, I have gained valuable expertise in all phases of project execution — from initial planning and detailed engineering to procurement management, manufacturing quality control, site erection, and commissioning. I have been involved in over 20 international projects for major clients such as ArcelorMittal, Metinvest, JSW, Voestalpine, and Ternium, covering a wide range of equipment including BOF converter plants, sampling and measurement systems, cooling solutions, relining machines, and electric smelting furnaces. Throughout these projects, I have taken on various roles such as Lead Engineer, Project Manager, Site Supervisor, Site Manager, and Commissioning Manager. This diversity of responsibilities reflects my flexibility and broad skill set across all stages of project execution. Many of these projects required significant on-site presence where I was responsible for site supervision, installation monitoring, and commissioning. My experience spans both greenfield projects and upgrades of existing installations, giving me a comprehensive understanding of the steelmaking industry's engineering and execution challenges.
