Project Manager for West Midlands Trains

About

I have structured my career from undertaking the delivery and design in different sectors of construction ranging from prisons, education through to rail projects. I've now gained 30 years' experience in design and build of multi-disciplinary schemes, along with a strong focus on lessons learnt and innovation with new products and systems. I'm now seeking to improve the management of the design, its programme and change throughout the design process through to implementation. I still enjoy continuing to learn more from different disciplines and associated organisations in order to understand how their requirements can be incorporated as a benefit. I also encourage mentorship from colleagues to share my experience and improve their foresight within different challenges.
