About

Three years ago, I was working on water infrastructure designs for villages in rural areas. Today, I'm ready to deliver commercial and infrastructure construction projects in Sydney, and the difference between the two is exactly what sets me apart. I'm a Civil Project Engineer with dual Master's degrees from UNSW in Construction Project Management and Property Development. I combine structural engineering fundamentals with BIM-driven project coordination, which means I understand what's happening at every level of a build, from the analysis model to the site programme to the client conversation. Here’s what I’ve delivered: ✔️ Prevented $20K in cost overruns and a 3-month schedule delay by discovering critical BIM clashes in 4D before they reached site. ✔️ Coordinated WHS compliance for 60+ site staff across active project phases, resulting in zero lost-time injuries. ✔️ Prepared tender documents and contract packages across multiple concurrent construction projects, achieving a 98% first-submission acceptance rate. ✔️ Managed multi-phase commercial projects valued at $300K+, integrating cost control, schedule management, and regulatory compliance. ✔️ Delivered GIS-enabled water distribution networks for underserved communities under India's Jal Jeevan Mission, translating spatial data into scalable network designs and ensuring successful commissioning and community transition. What distinguishes me from many candidates at my level is my combined exposure to both the commercial and technical functions of a business. On the commercial side, I have delivered against revenue targets, managed diverse stakeholder groups, and led operations in high-pressure environments. On the technical side, I bring experience in structural analysis, BIM coordination, and WHS compliance across active project settings. I am comfortable engaging with clients and senior stakeholders while also possessing the technical capability to interpret structural documentation and understand on-site execution requirements. I recognise the difference between strategic discussion and practical implementation and I am able to bridge that gap effectively. I am currently seeking opportunities as a Construction Project Manager, BIM Coordinator, or Project Engineer within the commercial construction or infrastructure sector. If you are a recruiter, project manager, or principal involved in commercial or infrastructure projects. I'm available now and would welcome a conversation 📩 gagan.pavan@outlook.com | 🔗 linkedin.com/in/gagan-pavan
