Summary

From joining Amoco Chemicals in 1972 till today, my work has been focussed

on the petrochemical industry and my assignments have covered a diversity

of industrial and semi-industrial projects.

My experience covers total management of complex, multi discipline projects

from conceptual design, engineering, procurement and construction

management through start-up and plant operations, including contractual

negotiations with licensors, consultants, general and subcontractors,

representing the owner or the engineer.

I am a qualified mechanical engineer and my technical experience covers

various engineering disciplines which is of added value during concept

design, budget preparation and implementation of world scale Projects. My

theoretical and practical knowledge of the process industry and maintenance

aspects of its associated equipment and machinery provide a sound basis for

effective operational management.

During my employment with Shell Petroleum Development Corporation I was

assigned to Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) as project

consultant to develop and implement a Capital Project Management System

based on Shell best practise.

Throughout my career, I have built up extensive international experience

and have worked in the USA, Europe, the Middle East, South East Asia and

Africa for extended periods of time.

Objective

To implement my extensive international management and engineering

experience in developing and executing world scale projects in a

multicultural and challenging environment.
