I Have over 24 years of experience in document management in engineering and construction projects and
shut down plants in the oil and gas industry, most recently in the research, development and innovation
(R+D+i) activities of the petroleum technologies activities.
My main strengths are the establishment and operation of Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS)
to ensure successful management of engineering, vendors and subcontractors documents, from the kick-off
meeting, during project execution to the final closeout.
I have developed several different types of document control systems for various projects in all life cycle for
an engineering project (conceptualization, feasibility, planning, detail design, execution, testing and
commissioning, operation and closeout). In doing so I have gained experience in every one of those phases,
even related to proposal preparation, contracts, execution and handover of final project
information/documentation (closeout dossier) to Clients.
I have experience as a leader of document control groups and a focal point for document control on FEED and
EPC projects, shutdown plants (minor and major’s maintenance) and also for R+D+i activities.
I have experience writing procedures under ISO 9001 series of standards, including the last version 2015, in
which risk based thinking is paramount, I am certified as an auditor in that series of standards.
EDMS and Computer Systems/Applications experience:
SAP, Aconex, Primavera Contract Management Expedition (Document management tool), Microsoft Project,
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Smart Plan Review (3D Model), Documentum (Technical documents database), TDD
(Technical Documents Database / Fluor Daniels, EB-Altris, EDMS / Win-Track Altris / Document Control
System, CTS (Correspondence Tracking System), IDMS (Integrated Document Management System Kellogg),
