Peter began his career with Bechtel, where he was involved in various large-scale projects. He then joined KBC Advanced Technologies providing initially process engineering solutions, before transitioning to longer term performance improvement programs for global oil refiners. Subsequently with KBC, then Jacobs Consultancy, he assisted a wide range of clients in developing their downstream capital plans, as well as undertaking project-related technical and commercial due diligence.
