Summary
With 20 years of experience in the oil & gas industry, I’ve built a strong foundation in Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC) of pipelines, metering systems, process piping, and plant facilities. As a Quality Manager and Head of Department, I lead with precision and purpose, driving ISO 9001:2015 implementation, steering audit programs and ensuring quality compliance from concept to handover.
My professional journey spans QAQC inspections, welding procedures, documentation traceability and team development. I bring expertise in industry standards including API 1104, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, alongside certifications as a SIRIM Lead Auditor and internal auditor. My hands-on experience is backed by academic depth, including a Master in Management and ongoing PhD research in strategic quality and leadership.
I thrive in environments that demand meticulous planning, cross-functional collaboration, and continuous improvement. Passionate about mentorship, expanding into new industries and contributing to global excellence, I'm committed to shaping the future of quality with integrity and innovation.
📌 Currently exploring new opportunities beyond oil & gas, including manufacturing, automotive and renewable energy sectors.
