Imane Bencharef Email & Phone Number

I am an industrious, and talented environmental engineer with eight years of experience in an Oil & gas company (SONATRACH the "12th largest oil consortium in the world"). I am a member of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment, where I have acquired knowledge of EU and UK legislation relevant to environmental management, assessment, and planning. Throughout my career, I have honed my communication skills, which enable me to present my ideas effectively to gain consensus and cooperation within a team.I managed environmental compliance in my company’s solid waste, air emissions, and wastewater. I developed and updated the framework for waste management and the management of atmospheric discharge, resulting in successful compliance with environmental regulations while promoting a sustainable approach to waste management and atmospheric discharge. I also have extensive experience in project management, enabling me to lead and manage several projects simultaneously. Through lean and continuous improvement skills, I identified constraints, proposed initiatives and solutions, and developed an inventory of the company's pollution sites resulting in the successful completion of projects and improved environmental performance.Excelling in technical audits and inspections, I assess compliance with environmental regulations and inspect oil and gas sites. Through compliance data management, improve waste management practices, and maintain a comprehensive database of compliance data. Also, I have been nominated as an expert for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, an opportunity that has enhanced my understanding of the importance of decision-making through the lens of the climate emergency.My passion for sustainability and climate risk mitigation has driven me to study an MSc in environmental engineering that would expose me to the necessary technical and analytical skills to make meaningful industry contributions. Studying courses like project management, GIS, circular economy, energy economics, EIA, Nuclear decommissioning, and sustainability at Strathclyde University provided me with the skills to become an effective environmental engineer.Leading workshops on climate change issues during the Arab Youth International Model United Nations in Dubai 2022 underscored my commitment to making a meaningful impact globally in contributing to sustainable practices that foster the preservation of our environment. I am passionate about the potential for the environmental sector to make a difference in people's lives globally.
