MY PROFILE:

Direct, very pro-active attitude, experience of working professionally and independently at senior managerial

level in a target driven, scheduled, deadline environment consolidating skills within strategic planning &

implementation, costing, co-ordinating and scheduling major Energy and Rail projects.

Circa. 20yrs+ experience of Senior Management overseeing QSHES&W, CDM & TW Coordination, Lift/Crane

Coordination, Strategic Organisational Planning Implementation Management Monitoring, Audit and Review.

A vast wealth of knowledge of Engineering projects spanning the Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Industrial and

Temporary Works industries with a mass of experience and problem solving in their main facets along with all

corresponding related health and safety Regulations & Legislation and their roles within the construction

industry. That include, but not limited to, the latest & most up to date criteria, protocol & requirements covering

Health & Safety, Security, Quality, Training, Welfare, Environmental Impacts and Technological Improvements.

A fluent and natural communicator, at ease when negotiating at all levels, highly capable of presenting facts,

ideas, information, suggestions and solutions wherever possible and in good time to save delays and to identify

any potential hold-points from plan/schedule of works.

Excellent man management skills demonstrating success in Team Leadership by overseeing team performance,

monitoring follow-up developments and directing and motivating staff at both team and individual level.

Consistently achieving targets set whilst maintaining timetables and schedules, long-term and short-term,

refining and perfecting my team management through organisational skills, clarity and focus and the constant

prioritisation of any work plans that could/would lead to a sudden influx/surge in the capacity of the workload.

Competent, resourceful and decisive with an exemplary timekeeping and attendance record and a flexible attitude

to working hours and duties - driven with a 'can-do' & 'there's no problems at work, only challenges' attitude.

In past Senior Management roles I have assumed lead control and responsibility for ensuring that the project

organisation procedures of QSHES&W, ITP's/ITS's, RFI's, RFP's, TQ's, NCR's, Permits and Permissions, etc. are

properly implemented and requested in a timely manner and in the correct format on site.

My key duties included but were not exhaustive nor limited to, the following below:-

Ensure that various responsibilities have been allocated and accepted (e.g; designers, design checkers,

management, site supervisors, work operatives, etc.).

Ensure that risks are identified at design stage or as early as possible before work commencement, as well as

assumed construction methods and loading constraints are incorporated into the works design, calculations,

design briefs along with any peripheries of its relevant design category i.e; if temporary works: 0 - 1 - 2 - 3.

Ensure that the designs and SSoW's are adequately satisfactory for concept, purpose and requirement identifying

all remaining residual risks and design risks, etc.

Ensure that a design check is carried out by a stand-alone third party designer checker if necessary, covering

concept, structural adequacy and compliance within the design brief.

Ensure the designs are made readily available to all relevant parties in good time, taking careful consideration of

foreseeable probable future potential amendments or reviews should any issues arise.

Ensuring first and foremost that all correspondents' are properly registered, documented, recorded and distributed

in good time: design drawings, calculations, RA/MS/RP/CP's, etc. and all other relevant

documentation/information relevant to the final design and execution of task or product from it's conception,

inception, during, completion - and, for temporary works engineered solutions - highly likely, but not always -

the removal/unload.

Ensure that those responsible for on-site supervision receive full details of the design, including any limitations

and guidance notes, etc. and confirmation they feel confident of their task after briefing.

Ensure that risk assessments and guidance notes are prepared and cover all reasonable steps for the safe

installation, maintenance, adaption's, alterations, re-configurations, and dismantle/removal/unload sequences as

well as rescue plan and contingency plan processes and sequences.

Make all necessary checks at appropriate stages as per ITP's/etc. before, during and after construction at every

point of the project ensuring all is correctly documented and yet, heavily informative.

Ensure that appropriate maintenance is carried out to temporary works as per relevant Inspection Test Plans.

After a final erection check and acceptance/handover, issue the permit to load or bring into first use/Acceptance

Certificate (by contractor within Xno. of days from final inspection or as per company policies, procedures, pre-

requisites, etc.).

Once the permanent works have attained adequate strength as per design and calculations & ITP's, etc. from their

formerly temporary state of construction - I would issue or give instruction to issue formal permission to

dismantle the temporary works and specify any relevant sequences, providing all relevant concurred.

Ensure the temporary works are dismantled in accordance with a defined procedure.

Possess extensive knowledge in designing and training of all forms and manners of management system types to

conform with, but not limited to, all relevant regulations/legislations as well as all the very best and up to date

industry practices, Technological Advances, etc.

Wealth of contacts from within the Power & Energy, Energy from Waste/Waste to Energy, Bio-Mass/Bio-Fuel,

Petro-Chem., Oil & Gas, QSHES&W, MOD & Military, MOJ & Prisons, Aerospace & Defence, Nuclear,

Marine & Shipping, Rail, Water/Waste Water, Civil/Industrial/Mechanical/Structural/Temporary Works
