I have significant experience in the field of Environmental, Safety, and Health (ES&H), predominantly in managerial and supervisory positions with proven analytical and problem-solving skills. I have an extensive background in the development and implementation of key safety management processes with strong written and verbal communication skills. I am also proficient in adapting to ES&H challenges in significantly differing international work environments. I have a high level of competency in conducting inspections, accident investigations, identifying corrective actions and implementing improved safety management processes. I possess the essential management skills that permit me to assemble motivated and successful project ES&H teams. I am also a certified six sigma champion obtained in 2008.

I was recognized by the Bechtel Corporation with the award of Safety Professional of the year in 2002, and again as Manager of the Safety Team of the year in 2004 while assigned to the Moscow office as Regional ES&H Manager for Bechtel’s Former Soviet Union projects under the START Treaty between the United States and Russian Federation. In addition to my proven leadership abilities, I am a full member of the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) and also a certified Six Sigma Champion.

After working as an ES&H professional in North Africa, I joined the Bechtel Corporation in Kuwait after the first gulf war and, following that, I was assigned to a position in Kazakhstan at the Tengizchevroil refining facility. I have successfully spent 20 years as a Bechtel Corporation ES&H professional in a number of Former Soviet Union states working on ICBM SS19/SS24 Silo Dismantlement in Ukraine, construction of the fissile material storage facility adjacent to the Mayak radiological facility. Also, implementing safety management processes for the safety and security upgrades of nuclear weapons storage bases, ICBM SS25 base elimination, and supported projects involving chemical weapons destruction in the Russian Federation. More recently I was the ES&H Manager for the Biological Threat Reduction Program executed in the Republic of Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, which included the renovation of biological laboratories, the demolition of anthrax facilities in Stepnogorsk and the construction of the 8,000 square metre Central Reference Laboratory in Georgia capable of biological safety levels 2 and 3 research.

My current project in Chernobyl is nearing completion and I will become available for alternative employment at the end of October 2019. However, should an opportunity present itself prior to this date, there is flexibility in terms of adjusting my current release date.
