Profile

With over 13 years in experience in Project Controls, my career has covered Marine Construction and Outfit, Nuclear Decommissioning, Maintenance and Operations, Production Operations, Construction and Waste Diversion and Disposal, integrating many disciplines such as Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Design, Safety, Waste retrieval and storage and Commercial support. These positions aided in providing me with an in-depth knowledge of Earned Value Management and understanding of Programme Controls systems and processes along with their application. I believe myself to be diligent, managing my own workload and working on initiative, proactive, flexible and resilient enough to overcome obstacles and support new ways of thinking. I strive to consistently deliver to time and quality, always mentoring and coaching individuals in the Team where necessary.
