I am an experienced electrical engineer with more than fifteen years in industrial maintenance, energy, and process industry, with a strong focus on the oil and gas sector. Currently, I lead the Electrical and Instrumentation Services department at an oil refinery, where I manage teams, plan and supervise projects, implement process improvements, and ensure full compliance with safety, quality, and schedule requirements. Throughout my career, I have managed technical departments and maintenance in production plants, overseen logistics and fuel metering systems, and participated in the development and modernization of plants and terminals in demanding industrial environments. I am specialized in measurement and control equipment, distribution and transformer substations, and automation projects, including design, commissioning, and maintenance of systems. I have strong project and organizational experience: I have led turnaround and overhaul projects, coordinated multiple contractors and technical disciplines, and successfully delivered projects within defined OPEX and CAPEX budgets. In my daily work, I rely on digital tools for planning and tracking (MS Project, Excel, and specialized web applications), and I work in a structured, solution-oriented way with a focus on continuous process improvement. Within my teams, I strongly emphasize safety, equipment reliability, and people development through mentoring and knowledge transfer. I hold a Business Mentor license issued by the Croatian Chamber of Economy and I am in the process of obtaining PMP certification, supported by active English language skills. This combination of technical expertise, leadership and project management experience, and familiarity with industrial standards and best practices makes me a reliable candidate for roles in energy, maintenance, and project management.
