Mr. Smith brings well-founded project controls experience on Oil & Gas, Petrochemical and Infrastructure projects, from the conceptual and pre-planning stage through startup, commissioning and close-out. He spent many years developing front-end execution strategies for major capital projects, overseeing the reduction in overall project execution cycle times by 25% from historical norms. He uses his wide knowledge of the overall Project Delivery System’s gates process, benchmarking, metrics applications and best in class performance expectations to benefit clients as well. This was applied through his leadership of the Jubail, Saudi Arabia petrochemical complex Project Health Check, which reviewed, documented and presented an expert assessment of this project’s internal and external factors impacting its successful execution and completion. Mr. Smith manages and oversees project controls for Pre-FEED, FEED, and EPCm projects, and has been responsible for project planning and scheduling, cost control, and bid proposals cost estimating.
