Highly driven Senior QS/Commercial Manager with a strong EPC & EPCM projects/construction experience on Power, Oil & Gas, Mining and Infrastructure projects covering Structural, Mechanical, Piping, Plate work, Electrical & Instrumentation disciplines (SMPPE&I). Skilled in handling all commercial aspects of large and complex projects with specific focus on minimizing the risk and maximizing entitlement and returns.

I have mostly thought students in a workplace on how to become the greatest and best Quantity Surveyor. Most of my junior QS have never been thought some tricks and principles of QS'ing from their Institutions. Currently i have 4 Junior quantity surveyors straight from varsity whom i am training and teaching on how to measure from a drawing and compiling a completed Bills of Quantities incorporating the measured quantities.
