My professional career was mainly on Civil Engineering projects – first at the Malta International Airport from 1974 to 1988 and then at the Malta Freeport up till today. Having been the responsible Perit for the major land reclamation project at the 30 hectares €250 million Terminal 2 at Freeport, I have been engaged on major marine-based projects by Terminal Operators internationally. At Freeport I also occupied the position of General Manager from 1997 to 2004 and Projects Director thereafter.
Infrastructural Works I was responsible for are located in India, Italy, Latvia, Albania and Ukraine amongst others. I have had an Engineering participation in most local marine-based projects in the last 25 years in various roles such as the Perit or the Engineering Representative or the Design Consultant of the project.
