Mr. Quijano started his profession in Texaco's Oil Refinery in Panama, where he worked as a Process Engineer and Product Forecaster. He began his career with the Panama Canal in 1975 and climbed through the professional and managerial promotion ladder to the position of Maritime Operations Director in 1999. This department is directly involved in the operation and maintenance of the principal infrastructure and equipment of the waterway.

After leading the Maritime Operations department for over seven years covering the transition from US to Panamanian administration, Mr. Quijano has been in charge of the Panama Canal's $5.25 billion Expansion Program since 2006. To that effect, he was appointed as Executive Vice President of the Engineering and Programs Management Department in 2007.

In his new role, he heads a group of about 500 professionals which have the responsibility to manage the execution of all expansion program components. The department is specifically tasked with the contracting and oversight of the Locks Design and Construction contract, the Atlantic and Pacific entrance channel dredging contracts, the four dry excavation contracts, the Lake level dredging to be performed by ACP's (Autoridad del Canal de Panamá) workforce and other smaller support contracts. The department is working together as an integrated team with a hired program manager to oversee the execution of the entire Expansion Program.
