I am Abdulraheem Lawal, PMP, a digital engineering and critical infrastructure professional focused on helping organizations improve infrastructure delivery through engineering intelligence, technology, analytics, and operational optimization.
My experience spans energy infrastructure, engineering design, project execution, digital engineering, project management, and large-scale operations. I contributed to the approximately $20 billion NLNG Train 7 EPC Project, where my work involved engineering and field execution, BIM/Tekla digital-twin integration, change control, project optimization, and multidisciplinary coordination.
My career has been shaped by solving complex engineering and operational challenges through systems thinking, technology, analytics, project management, and practical execution.
I am currently pursuing an MBA at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, majoring in Strategy & Operations and Business Analytics, with a minor in Leadership. I previously earned a Bachelor of Civil Engineering in Structural Systems from the University of Ilorin.
At Saipem, I progressed from Civil Structural Engineer to Senior Field Operations Engineer while working on the NLNG Train 7 EPC Project. My work covered engineering design, field execution, digital engineering, change control, project coordination, and multidisciplinary delivery.
Earlier at Ariosh, I worked on LNG facility verification, 3D modeling, structural documentation, and digital asset modernization. My experience at Amazon further expanded my expertise into predictive analytics, operational optimization, process improvement, and safety.
What distinguishes my work is the ability to connect engineering, technology, analytics, and execution to achieve measurable improvements in infrastructure and operational performance.
Contributed to engineering and field operations on the approximately $20 billion NLNG Train 7 EPC Project.
Helped integrate material handling, engineering design, and field execution, contributing to approximately 15% acceleration in project lifecycle.
Helped prevent approximately $3.5 million in potential rework costs through engineering design review and project-quality improvement.
Improved fabrication efficiency by approximately 20% through structured project planning, workflow improvement, and team alignment.
Contributed to approximately 20% cost savings on a $12 million infrastructure upgrade through engineering analysis and workflow optimization.
Supported BIM/Tekla digital-twin integration to strengthen coordination between engineering design and field execution.
At Amazon, identified approximately $2.27 million in annualized delivery-defect costs and developed controls projecting approximately $1.01 million in cost recovery.
Supported an 18% improvement in package-sortation efficiency and applied predictive analytics to operational bottlenecks, contributing to a 26% reduction in safety incidents.
My Landmark Innovation in Critical Infrastructure Transformation
INFRADEX™ — Intelligent Infrastructure Delivery & Operational Excellence Framework is my proprietary framework for helping organizations improve how critical infrastructure is digitally managed, delivered, optimized, and sustained.
I developed INFRADEX™ from my experience across energy infrastructure, engineering design, BIM and digital twins, field execution, project management, predictive analytics, cost optimization, safety, and operational transformation.
The framework addresses a recurring industry challenge: organizations increasingly invest in digital engineering technologies and infrastructure systems, yet often struggle to translate engineering information and operational data into efficient project execution, proactive risk management, and measurable infrastructure performance.
INFRADEX™ provides organizations with a structured approach for assessing infrastructure-transformation readiness, identifying engineering and operational gaps, establishing measurable priorities, and developing data-driven improvement roadmaps.
It is designed for application across:
Through INFRADEX™, my broader objective is to help organizations turn engineering data into infrastructure intelligence and infrastructure intelligence into measurable performance.
