Hello, I'm ERTUGRUL AKSOY, MSc Civil Engineer
Digital Transformation & ESG Leader at Turner International Türkiye
I am a dedicated project management specialist, continually developing my skills across various management areas. Through my years of work as a site engineer, cost control engineer, planning engineer, project control engineer, and PMO department chief, I have gained extensive expertise in the field of project management. Earning a master's degree in Construction Management, undergoing PMI training, and volunteering with international professional associations have broadened my perspective on innovative management methodologies, including IPD (Integrated Project Delivery), Lean Management, and Agile. Currently, I work in the digital transformation office, employing construction technologies, innovations, and digital processes such as BIM and various digital tools to benefit my company. Simultaneously, I am focusing on the construction industry's green transition, embracing areas like High-Performance Buildings, Sustainable Design, NBS (Nature Based Solutions), Circularity, LCA, and Resiliency, highlighted in UN and EU studies. My goal is to specialize in and contribute to value-added projects that align with the UN's “Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Cities” objectives and the EU's “The New European Bauhaus” initiative. Moreover, I support social societies through volunteer work. I am a board member of the BIM4Turkey Association (NGO), leading the digital transformation in the Turkish construction industry. In 2021, I joined JCI, a 108-year-old UN-supported organization, and currently serve as EVP and Treasurer of JCI Ankara. My involvement extended to the JCI European Committees, where I was honored to be selected as the Chair of the 2022 European Sustainability Committee. Additionally, I volunteer with PMI, currently leading the PMI-CP (Construction Professionals Certification) team to promote the PMI Project Management approach within the Turkish construction industry.
