Professional Project and Technology Delivery

Committed to professional excellence, Delprosa is managed by Dr. Rickey Donald who leads engineering projects that deliver real value. With strong engineering credentials and deep industry knowledge of the manufacturing and process industries, I bring clarity and confidence to every stage of delivery. Whether it’s implementing new technology, a feasibility study, design, construction, or commissioning, I can bring strategy to life and drive your business forward.

About Me

I bring deep engineering experience and a hands-on approach to build capabilities for industry.

Experience, professionalism, and results orientated

With nearly 40 years’ experience in engineering, I have delivered major projects and managed large-scale operations across industries including steel, minerals, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, food, packaging, oil and gas, and water treatment. Recently, I’ve led initiatives in virtual power plant controls, automated energy and carbon monitoring, and integrated electricity market strategies to build competitive flexibility services that simultaneously decarbonise and reduce electricity costs.

My career is underpinned by strong academic foundations and a commitment to lifelong learning. I hold a degree in mechanical engineering, masters in computer engineering, with postgraduate qualifications in IT, executive management, and project management. My recent PhD focused on design and control of integrated renewable energy generation, green hydrogen production, and wastewater treatment. I am a Chartered Professional Engineer and RPEQ in Chemical, Mechanical, and Information, Telecommunications and Electronics Engineering.
