Current Role

I started as lead Planner with Dean and Dyball Civil Engineering / Construction, which partly became Mansell Construction following the Balfour Beatty acquisition of 2008.

Originally, I was Ringwood’s lead planner tendering single- and two stage projects generally in the £1m-£20m range, both negotiated and frameworks.

Tenders and projects generally either used the JCT or NEC3 forms of contract, with occasional use of GC Works 1.

Also in Ringwood, I was a member of the Regional Safety Committee, and was elected a staff representative during 2009’s collective consultation processes.

When Ringwood closed in 2009 I transferred to Slough, where I worked mainly on live projects under a roving remit, establishing EOT positions with Clients and the supply chain, as well as closely monitoring progress and reporting to the senior management.

Since moving to the Totton office in 2010 I’ve worked mostly on tenders; these include iESE (schools) and Aspire Defence framework projects, and competitive tenders for some private and mostly public sector Clients – universities, private and state schools, hospitals, for example.

I have also worked on numerous MOJ frameworks, where project planning exclusively uses MOJ processes and MS Project.
