Experienced engineering leader with 20+ years track record in guiding design teams, executing projects and technical advisory within the infrastructure and energy transition domains. Fluent in Spanish, French, Portuguese, Swedish, and English, I've seamlessly adapted to diverse cultures across 5 countries, both professionally and socially. Effectively managed engineering design budgets exceeding $8 million and contributed to large infrastructure projects worth up to $4 billion in capital cost. As a team leader, I consistently ensure the safe, timely, and budget-conscious delivery of every project through process-driven approaches, result-oriented strategies, and fostering motivating team environments.Core Competencies:• Results oriented• Strategic planning• Motivating leadership and team building• Calm under stress / during conflict• Cross-cultural adaptabilityIn 2012, I was involved in my first HV Power distribution design project for SP AusNet. Faced with a very tight schedule and with limited experience in this particular field, I put my energy into creating ownership amongst every team member and focusing awareness on the end-game. I achieved this by e.g. holding a daily 10min toolbox meeting with the whole team, reviewing the progress of every package and quickly eliminating any roadblocks. The result was a motivated and focused team that ultimately met all its deadlines.Other achievements: In 2011, I captained the Australian Men's National Team at the World Championships in Dragon Boat Racing in Tampa, US. In 2012, I founded Melbourne's newest dragon boat club - Southern Storm Paddle Club. Between 2015 and 2023, I've coached corporate teams of beginners from SDTC and EDC, placing consistently in the top 20% of teams at the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival.
