T. DAYANANDA RAO

A seasoned professional with 30 years of engineering design experience in the Oil & Gas and Chemical industries, I have contributed to large-scale projects across Refineries, Petrochemicals, Chemicals, and both Onshore and Offshore sectors. My expertise spans Greenfield and Brownfield developments, specializing in Licensor units such as UOP and Chevron. I have extensive experience in FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) and EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) projects, with proficiency in process design and development. My skills include Basic and Detailed Engineering, simulation software (SIMSCI - Pro-II, HYSYS), and active participation in HAZOP studies (HAZOP-PC, PHAWORKS). I have been responsible for preparing proposals, technical evaluations, operating manuals, commissioning procedures, and managing departments, including Process Engineering, Modeling & Modernization Services, and Engineering. Currently, I oversee a division of 100+ engineers, leading Greenfield and Brownfield activities, including feasibility studies, facility adequacy checks, revamps, and storage enhancements. As a Project Manager and Project Management Consultant (PMC), my responsibilities extend to managing the entire project lifecycle, ensuring timely delivery, quality assurance, and compliance. I am also involved in procurement, contract management, health and safety regulations, and post-completion project support.
