In my current role, I am responsible for the railway project planning, execution, and successful completion; while making sure the projects are delivered within budget, on time and meeting expected quality standards. 
Besides leading the team to effectively and efficiently deliver the railway projects on time and within budget, I have also been responsible managing stakeholders’ expectations in a collaborative manner to deliver according to contract specification.
I have vast knowledge, skills and experience of over 17 years to collaborate effectively with all disciplines in the delivery of railway projects in an efficient and safe manner while ensuring quality standard. In those 17 years, having worked as a Railway Signaling Engineer and Engineering Delivery Manager, I have delivered various railway signaling projects. Some include the railway signal interlocking system (Microlok II) for the construction of the Roslagsbanan line in Stockholm, the design and parameterization activities on the ERTMS subsystems (Interlocking (IXL), RBC and CTC)) in Haparanda Line just to mention a few.
Aside from the “technical know-how” I look forward to bringing to any project my strong analytical and problem-solving skills to identify and resolve project-related issues, manage variable priorities, and ensure project success.
