COMPETENCE/CAPABILITY DEVELOPMENT

An encouraging and motivational leader in engineering projects & assets integrity management; skilled at finding solutions to complex integrity problems (ability to troubleshoot the root causes of complex corrosion and integrity issues across oil and gas assets involving materials, design flaws and in-service degradation, always aligning strongly with information obtained from API 571. Experienced QA/QC Manager with a strong background in tank farm construction, pressure equipment, and piping systems. Skilled in managing inspection teams, enforcing quality standards, and ensuring compliance with API, ASME, and ISO codes throughout project lifecycles. Strong cross-functional leadership from fabrication to commissioning, with deep expertise in supervising welding, NDT, and material traceability. Experienced in engaging contractors in project execution planning, qualification of welding procedures and welders’ qualification for projects execution activities. Experienced in asset integrity evaluationacquired from working experience and from academic development; Good in establishment of Asset Corrosion Loops and Degradation Mechanism Review; which would serve as the foundation for implementing Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) and integrity management strategies. Could develop and implement asset/facilities integrity assessment programme. This would include inspection / corrosion monitoring and control. Skilled in managing/leading inspection team in corrosion monitoring & prevention activities in new construction or in existing asset facilities maintenance, enforcing quality standards and ensuring compliance with API, ASME and ISO codes throughout the project life circle; using all possible and applicable nondestructive tests (RT, UT, MPI, DPI etc.). Good at troubleshooting problems and building successful solutions, as per the specified Company’s requirements / standards / codes.
