📍 East Asia (Hong Kong / Taiwan) · fully remote · flexible timezone

I'm a geotechnical and energy engineer with 2+ years' program-management experience delivering renewable energy, risk and environmental projects across Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan — from multi-sub-project BESS programmes and offshore wind cable-risk studies to APAC energy market platforms. I work with directors and cross-functional teams on scope, budget, compliance and standard-driven workflows (DNV, ISO), and build the Python / Power BI automation, digitalisation and project-finance tools that keep them moving.
