Civil Construction Manager / Senior Civil Project Engineer
Last Updated: 14th March 2018 (over 4 years ago)
Summary
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (Hons) obtained from Spain, which is where I was born, raised and educated. I am a Chartered Engineer and I belong to the Spanish National Civil Engineers Association (membership no 16619).
I have an extensive experience in the Resources industry (green and brown fields), Civil infrastructure, Commercial & Building and Marine and Airport Projects.
This experience has been developed mostly directly in the field both as a Senior Civil Engineer and Civil Construction Manager, hence my professional profile has always been highly appreciated with all companies I’ve worked for as I am a hands-on-the-job man.
I also have a good civil engineering design and technical background. I ensure works get done safely, on schedule with a Zero Harm implementation onsite.
I am used to work on multicultural, multidisciplinary Projects and I consider myself a natural leader and a great team member with a proven record of safe successfully completed Projects.
My international experience allows me to have a great knowledge of European, British, South African and Australian Standards.
In addition, I am well versed in all Quality Assurance and Controls for Civil and SMP works.
Although currently being based in Perth, Western Australia, I will be keen to relocate as required.
