Objective

Seeking a position as a Chemical Process Engineer where I can utilize my technical-managerial skills, background and experience to provide an excellent service to internal and external clients. I would like to make a difference by providing, executing, developing, designing, and sharing technical knowledge and encouraging development to others co-workers to reach the specific team goals, with dedication, attitude, professional ethics, following politics that the company imposes and being a loyal employee. Good ability to interact effectively with others co-workers in a task force environment. Summary

More than twenty five years of experience as Chemical Process Engineer and in some periods as Process Manager as well. During this period, I was involved in projects ranging from Feasibility Studies, Conceptual Designs, Basic Engineering Design Data (BEDD), Front End Loading (FEL), Front End Engineering Design (FEED), and Detail Engineering in EPCM Companies attending diverse industrial sectors such as: Biofuels (Bio-Refineries), Petrochemicals, Chemicals, Refineries, Furnace, Onshore & Offshore Facilities, Utilities, Water Treatment Systems and Firefighting Systems. I have an In-depth knowledge in the Process discipline, with well-developed skills in practices and principles of engineering and total knowledge of the development of a project. I gave support on site for commissioning, installation, and start-up of equipment at Pemex facilities in GOM. As Process Engineer Manager, I can coordinate, monitor, evaluate, estimate and quantify the activities to be developed in the project/proposal during the different stages of the project.
