My 12 years’ experience as an industry practitioner includes 12 years in the construction heavy equipment operations and maintenance in the Philippines and 12 years in overseas assignments in Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, specifically Jakarta where I was a senior technical and management ex-pat from 1992 to 1999. I have a vast knowledge of equipment application and technology, planning, budgeting, hiring, training, operations, maintenance, Time and Cost system. I have a book on equipment operations and maintenance to attest to this.
During these periods I was able to bring about maximum achievements, such as cost savings, smooth operations and maintenance of construction equipment supply.
