About

A practical engineer with a strategic lens.

I'm Engr. Uzzul Hoque, Head of Utility at DBL Industrial Park Ltd — part of DBL Group, one of Bangladesh's leading textile and apparel conglomerates.

My work sits at the intersection of heavy engineering and operational excellence: keeping a complex industrial ecosystem running reliably while pushing it toward measurable energy and sustainability gains.

I lead multidisciplinary teams across power generation, steam and thermal systems, HVAC, compressed air, water and effluent treatment — translating engineering decisions into business outcomes.

Expertise

Industrial utility, end to end.

Power & Energy Systems

Co-generation, gas & diesel gensets, grid integration and load management for industrial parks.

Steam & Boiler Operations

High-pressure steam generation, distribution networks, and process integration.

HVAC & Compressed Air

Chillers, AHUs, humidification and compressed air systems for textile and apparel facilities.

Sustainability & ETP

Effluent treatment, water recovery, and energy efficiency programs aligned with LEED standards.

Utility Leadership

What a utility head must keep under control.

The role is more than running machines. It means balancing safety, uptime, energy cost, regulatory discipline, people and future capacity while production depends on every decision.

Safety & Compliance

Builds operating discipline around electrical safety, boiler compliance, environmental standards, SOPs and audit readiness.

Reliability & Maintenance

Drives uptime through preventive maintenance, condition monitoring, spares planning and rapid response for critical utility assets.

Energy KPI & Cost Control

Tracks load, fuel, steam, water, compressed air and chiller performance to reduce waste and improve cost per unit of production.

Team & Vendor Leadership

Leads multidisciplinary engineers, operators, contractors and OEM partners through projects, shutdowns and capacity expansions.
