I am a Project Engineer with over five years of cross-sector experience in oil and gas, EPC delivery and renewable energy. I have worked on $50M+ upstream assets at ExxonMobil and Wood PLC, managed 65+ personnel on live construction programmes, and led solar PV feasibility and net-zero decarbonisation projects across Europe. I do not just manage projects — I manage risk, drive change control, engage stakeholders and engineer the conditions for consistent delivery from initiation through to commissioning.
I am a Project Engineer based in London with over five years of hands-on experience delivering capital projects across oil and gas, EPC and renewable energy. I hold an MSc in Engineering Management from Brunel University London and a BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Wollongong, Australia, academic foundations I chose deliberately to span both the technical and the strategic.
I bring a combination of deep technical engineering competence and the leadership instinct to drive complex, multi-discipline programmes from front-end feasibility through to commissioning and handover. Having been embedded within major operators including ExxonMobil and Wood PLC across the UAE and Iraq, I understand what delivery looks like under real operating pressure — not just on paper.
I am trilingual in English, Arabic and French, PRINCE2 and Six Sigma Black Belt certified, and hold professional memberships with five engineering institutions. I am actively seeking my next project engineering or management opportunity in energy, renewables or infrastructure — in the United Kingdom, the EU, the Gulf or the wider Middle East.
"The energy transition is the defining engineering challenge of our generation. I am thinking about how project engineers can bridge the rigour of oil and gas delivery with the urgency of net-zero targets, and how the methodologies we built in upstream can accelerate the renewable buildout the world needs."
I have delivered EPC and EPCM programmes across oil and gas and energy infrastructure, coordinating multidisciplinary teams across mechanical, civil, structural and instrumentation disciplines from FEED through to commissioning and handover. At Wood PLC and ExxonMobil I managed 65+ site personnel, drove change control protocols and maintained CPM-based schedule oversight on assets valued at $50M+.
Currently delivering solar PV feasibility assessments, FEED coordination and heat recovery analyses across UK and European client projects valued up to £15M. My technical inputs contributed to two client bids shortlisted for green infrastructure funding. I apply the same engineering rigour developed in oil and gas to the pace and ambition of the energy transition.
Five years of hands-on oil and gas engineering across upstream, midstream and EPC environments. I have reviewed P&IDs, isometrics and vendor drawings against ASME B31.3, API 650 and ISO standards. I have supported HAZOP preparation, managed discipline interfaces and driven construction planning improvements on major assets with ExxonMobil and Wood PLC across the UAE and Iraq.
I maintain live project controls frameworks using Earned Value Management and Critical Path Method scheduling in Primavera P6 and MS Project. I track scope, schedule and cost performance simultaneously and produce executive-level KPI reporting across client and contractor organisations. My controls discipline has contributed to 95% on-time delivery rates across all major programmes.
I produce ESG roadmaps, decarbonisation strategies and environmental impact assessments for energy sector clients. My MSc dissertation at Brunel explored optimised EIA methodologies across data centres in Sweden, Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands. I bring both the academic framework and live consulting experience to help organisations navigate their net-zero commitments.
I build and maintain live risk registers, lead risk review sessions and develop mitigation strategies across complex capital programmes. I have supported HAZOP preparation and review on upstream oil and gas assets, ensuring hazard identification is thorough, documented and actioned before execution. My risk management approach is proactive — I identify exposure early and engineer the response before it becomes a problem.
Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. I applied Six Sigma methodology to documentation and approval workflows on consulting projects, cutting approval cycle time by 30% and eliminating avoidable rework. I use DMAIC and process mapping to identify inefficiency, quantify impact and implement measurable improvements, whether on a construction site or in an engineering office.
I manage stakeholder communication across client, contractor and regulatory organisations simultaneously. I build trust at executive level through clear, structured reporting and hold alignment across multidisciplinary teams in technically demanding environments. Trilingual in English, Arabic and French, I work effectively across cultures and geographies without losing precision or authority.
I manage projects across their complete lifecycle, from initiation and scope definition, through FEED, detailed design, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover. I do not drop in at execution and leave — I own the full arc. This end-to-end experience means I understand how decisions made in FEED affect construction, and how commissioning constraints should shape procurement.
Structured risk management is embedded in every project I lead. I develop mitigation plans with clear ownership, timelines and measurable outcomes — not just risk lists. I integrate risk reviews into programme governance and ensure that residual risk is tracked and reported to the right stakeholders at the right time.
I implement rigorous change control protocols to protect project scope, budget and schedule from uncontrolled drift. At Wood PLC I drove change control processes that reduced scope deviation measurably across EPC phases. I also manage organisational change, helping teams adapt to new processes and ways of working without losing momentum or morale.
I identify operational and process inefficiencies and engineer measurable solutions. At Phantom Contracting I implemented automation and inventory management upgrades that delivered 12% cost reduction and 20% productivity improvement. In consulting, I applied Lean Six Sigma to cut approval cycles by 30%. I treat continuous improvement as a mindset, not a project, it runs in the background of everything I deliver.
Every role has sharpened a different edge. Here is where I have worked, what I delivered and the numbers that tell the story.
Right now I am working independently across the UK and Europe, managing projects from initiation through to execution on renewable energy, solar PV and sustainable infrastructure programmes valued up to £15M. My work spans the full project lifecycle, from scope definition and resource planning at initiation, through FEED coordination and technical deliverable review during execution, across both greenfield and brownfield scopes. I manage two to three concurrent client engagements, maintaining schedule performance using Primavera P6 and MS Project with CPM and EVM techniques.
Stakeholder engagement and management is central to every engagement — I produce progress reporting packs, manage client expectations and maintain transparent communication across distributed teams. I have delivered solar feasibility assessments, heat recovery analyses, ESG roadmaps and decarbonisation strategies, with technical inputs contributing to two client bids shortlisted for green infrastructure funding. I applied Lean Six Sigma-driven process optimisation to documentation and approval workflows against ISO 9001 and ASME standards, cutting approval cycle time by 30%.
At Phantom Contracting I took ownership of an operational leadership role spanning manufacturing and infrastructure EPC projects. I directed day-to-day project operations, owned the change management process to control scope and operational drift, and improved supply chain coordination to cut delivery delays by 10%. I led aluminium fabrication and framing works end to end, achieving a 15% performance uplift through structured cross-functional team leadership and tightened scheduling discipline.
I identified and led targeted process optimisation initiatives, implementing automation and inventory management upgrades that delivered a 12% cost reduction and 20% productivity improvement. Stakeholder management was handled through structured reporting packs that gave executives clear visibility of project status, risk exposure and delivery performance, maintaining 98% quality compliance throughout.
Working at Wood PLC is where I found my footing in major EPC project delivery. I managed programmes from FEED through to execution and commissioning across projects in Dubai and Iraq, coordinating multidisciplinary interfaces and ensuring ASME, ISO and API compliance at every stage. I owned the change management and change control protocols that protected scope integrity, and managed vendor coordination and CAPEX procurement planning in parallel.
I maintained a live risk register and drove structured risk management reviews across the programme, enabling proactive mitigation rather than reactive firefighting. Through competitive tendering and structured supplier evaluations I achieved an 11% cost reduction while protecting schedule commitments. I coordinated over 65 site personnel across construction and commissioning phases under HSE governance and COSHH protocols, contributing to 95% on-time delivery. Throughout, I managed stakeholder reporting across both client and contractor organisations, ensuring alignment at every milestone gate.
My time at ExxonMobil was formative — my first experience of managing programme delivery at genuine scale. I supported the full lifecycle integration of mechanical, structural and civil systems on $10–$25M energy assets, from FEED initiation through execution and commissioning readiness. I resolved design conflicts across disciplines, managed multidisciplinary interfaces and drove construction planning improvements across a complex, internationally distributed operating environment.
I maintained and coordinated CPM-based project schedules and risk registers throughout, providing proactive schedule and cost performance reporting. I reviewed P&IDs, isometrics and vendor drawings against ASME B31.3, API 650 and ISO standards, supported HAZOP preparation and contributed to CAPEX procurement evaluations. Active stakeholder engagement across client, contractor and engineering teams kept alignment through every project phase, contributing to a successful Q4 2021 commissioning and startup — on budget and on schedule despite pandemic operating conditions.
My first real exposure to engineering in an industrial environment. I contributed to system testing, technical specification development and upgrade framework design, gaining early experience improving operational reliability and reducing downtime across critical systems. This is where my passion for engineering problem-solving first took hold.
My dissertation focused on optimising Environmental Impact Assessments in the energy sector, integrating sustainability frameworks to influence policy and operational decision-making across Data Centres in Sweden, Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands. I was also elected Student Representative for my MSc cohort of 216.
For my dissertation I designed a net-zero carbon retrofit strategy for an existing Dubai building using solar PV and biogas systems. I demonstrated measurable emissions reductions and cost savings and built the hands-on foundation in sustainable engineering that now underpins my consulting practice.
This was one of the defining projects of my career. I supported the multidisciplinary integration of mechanical, structural and civil systems on a major upstream energy asset at ExxonMobil, spanning FEED through to execution. I resolved design conflicts across disciplines, managed interfaces and improved construction planning outcomes throughout. I reviewed P&IDs, isometrics and vendor drawings against ASME B31.3 and API 650, and supported HAZOP preparation. Despite operating through a global pandemic, we achieved a successful startup in Q4 2021 — on time and on budget.
I coordinated over 65 site personnel across construction and commissioning phases, delivered an 11% CAPEX reduction through competitive tendering and maintained 95% on-time delivery under rigorous HSE and COSHH governance throughout.
I am managing solar PV feasibility, FEED coordination and ESG decarbonisation strategies across concurrent client projects. Two of my technical submissions were shortlisted for green infrastructure funding. I also applied Six Sigma to cut approval cycles by 30%.
