Ransome Nyengiwari

Summary

With over 2 decades of experience in Infrastructure and Oil & Gas construction, I provided Project Management and technical assistance to the NEOM Project, Gabon National Infrastructure Project, Quantum Methanol Project, and Brass LNG Project handling different roles to meet the objectives of the respective projects.

I have vast experienced in Project/Construction management utilizing Bechtel Standard Work Process Procedures (SWPPs), Contract formation/ management, mentoring, Safety and Environmental management. These skillsets mentioned above are currently utilized in the ongoing NEOM Project where I currently work and was also used in past projects like the Gabon National Infrastructure Project, Quantum Methanol Project, and Brass LNG Project.

In addition to the direct experience obtained while working in the aforementioned projects, I bring several other valuable assets to project assignments as a Registered Engineer by the Council for Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), also as a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP), and member of the Nigerian Society of Engineers and Project Management Institute (PMI). I utilize excellent oral and written communication skills to promote cordial relationships with all stakeholders and my leadership in projects is focused on managing safety, quality and schedule in order to achieve the project objectives. In line with my passion for capacity building, I was involved in training and knowledge transfer of best industry practices to Subcontractors and Saudi Arabian engineers.
