DANTE OSTEICOECHEA

With over 40 years in engineering and construction, I bring a unique blend of expertise in both Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) and Mechanical disciplines across the power, oil & gas, petrochemical, and metallurgical sectors. My foundational E&I experience was honed through significant roles at SADELMI Group, CEGELEC ALSTOM, and MMR Group, where I led complex E&I projects encompassing detailed design, installation, loop checks, testing, start-up, and commissioning. This included managing integrated control systems, substations, MCCs, and ensuring compliance with hazardous area standards. I also assembled and supervised specialized teams for E&I testing and commissioning in both greenfield and brownfield environments. Complementing this, my involvement with CONTECA and COSICA—family-owned enterprises with a rich tradition in civil and mechanical engineering and construction—has allowed me to lead mechanical projects such as piping, pressure vessels, rotating equipment, and specialty services like welding and refractory work. These projects span capital developments, refinery turnarounds, and routine maintenance programs. My responsibilities have encompassed full project lifecycles, including planning, field execution, QA/QC, and contractor coordination. Beyond technical execution, I actively engage in business development, estimating, cost control, and client relations, ensuring the delivery of multidisciplinary services tailored to the energy infrastructure sector.
