Summary

In my most recent role as Operations Manager at Gansu Construction Investment (Holdings) Group Co., Ltd., I led the preparation and execution of bids for high-profile projects, negotiated investments, and successfully contributed to the delivery of projects exceeding 10 billion yuan in value. Prior to that, as Project Manager, I managed large-scale civil works from inception to completion, achieving a 16% cost reduction compared to similar projects while maintaining a zero-accident safety record. These experiences sharpened my skills in contract management, resource allocation, stakeholder engagement, and performance monitoring—all directly aligned with the responsibilities outlined for this role.

I also bring strong technical expertise. Early in my career, I contributed to the design of a Closed Support System for Deep Foundation Pits, which reduced material and labor costs, and I introduced Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems to improve communication and efficiency across teams. My certifications as a Registered Associate Constructor, Certified Construction Cost Estimator, and BIM Modeller further reinforce my technical foundation.

Beyond technical delivery, I have consistently promoted safety, quality, and sustainability in all my projects. For example, by implementing a Zero-Storage resource model, I reduced waste and improved environmental outcomes. These values closely resonate with Downer’s commitment to Zero Harm and sustainable practices.
