About Richard Matos

Highly experienced professional, with 15+ years of diverse background in construction operations and project management within oil, gas, potash, water-waste industrial services. An Independent Consultant who holds interprovincial Pipefitting License and Gas Fitting B-License, I am skilled at ensuring ongoing work per quality standards and assessing progress of projects. I also oversee multi-discipline functions related to piping systems live plant operations, shutdowns and permitting activities. I am known for my proven record of success in moving complex projects to completion, meeting time-sensitive deadlines while maintaining safety, quality, and customer service. Major projects include expansions, turnarounds/shutdowns and pump installation/pump strains/ lube oil flushes to high-velocity air blows, oxygen service piping and hydro-testing (glycol/water/pneumatic). I am adept at analyzing construction procedures and resolving issues to prevent major delays and extensive cost overruns, as well as maintain operational safety and efficiency. As a leader, I efficiently facilitate construction coordination among contractors, subcontractors, specialized vendors, pre-commissioning teams, engineering, procurement and clients toward achievement of goals.
