| His most recent experience has been with Statoil, in US Onshore - Marcellus/Utica Asset Development, managing several natural gas pipeline gathering system and facility projects in Ohio and West Virginia ranging in $50MM - $100MM in capital expenditure. In this role, he reached a senior level position within the Project Management team and provided guidance and mentoring to engineering team members and helped establish significant improvement in project execution planning. In addition, one of his primary assignments, he was responsible for developing design and operating standards to be adopted for all future development projects for the asset, an assignment that required substantial problem solving and meticulous technical analysis. Prior to his position at Statoil, Expert worked as a Project Engineer with Hess Corporation working on a specialized team (Conceptual Engineering and Project Pre-Development Planning) performing an analysist role focusing on the company’s organizational structure. The key project he was assigned and what he valued the most in learning was in the process of performing an analysis of project drivers post project outcome, with a focus on process improvement, analyzing critical issues of several project delivery failures looking at poor performing projects. Expert's objective was to understand and report such issues as ineffective Front-End-Loading and lack of proper planning and controls, misalignment and dysfunction with team integration, unrealistic and aggressive execution planning and schedule, high project manager and personnel turnover, late project scope changes, and operational issues. The findings identified in this analysis served critical in assisting with undergoing organizational changes and process improvement to succeed in increased performance and delivering projects successfully. Critical steps in project initiation, planning and execution were implemented, including stakeholder analysis, project appraisal, establishing a project charter with clearly defined objectives, a further defined stage-gated work process, a structured communication plan with roles and responsibilities. Measures were established to give increased consideration to site-specific factors and involvement with operational and maintenance representatives, improved risk assessment and understanding of the potential for project variances, maintaining action item reporting and status reporting, formal change or corrective action planning and project closeout and documentation. Key project management fundamentals adding true value and success to the organization. |
