Harshal Badodkar — Project Manager

Project Management Professional with over 14 years of hands-on experience in the Oil & Gas industry, I thrive on managing and leading complex onshore and offshore projects from inception to completion. My expertise spans across project coordination, engineering management, EPC contractor management, greenfield and brownfield project execution, where safety and timely delivery are paramount. In my current role as Manager – Project Management at Technip Energies, I lead multi-disciplinary teams to execute high-value projects, including greenfield and brownfield environments. My career highlights include successfully managing the engineering, construction, and commissioning phases for projects such as BP Tortue FPSO, Birla Carbon EPC, DHDT Haldia, Karish & Tanin FPSO, RIL Ethane Cracker, LZ LTDP FEED etc - ensuring strict adherence to safety standards, budget, and timelines. In addition to my technical skills, I prioritize stakeholder communication, and strategic planning, which have been instrumental in delivering multi-million-dollar projects. I recently completed a Post Graduate Program in Management (PGP Pro) from UCLA Anderson, adding strong business acumen and leadership strategies to my skill set, enabling me to provide greater value to my teams and projects. Now, I'm looking for senior project roles where I can drive execution excellence, lead cross-functional teams, and contribute to large-scale global delivery — especially in EPC, offshore, and energy transition environments. I'm open to opportunities globally, and always up for a conversation about complex projects, leadership, or just sharing field stories. I am always open to discussing new opportunities in senior project management roles where I can leverage my technical expertise and business insights to drive project success.
