I am a Chartered Civil Engineer (CEng MICE) and approved Supervising Civil Engineer with over 15 years' experience delivering complex multidisciplinary infrastructure projects across the rail, water, highways, energy and defence sectors. I currently support the delivery of the Lower Thames Crossing Tunnels & Approaches project within the Bouygues Travaux Publics Murphy Joint Venture (BMJV), following senior design leadership roles across Murphy's infrastructure portfolio. My experience spans the full project lifecycle, from feasibility and optioneering through to detailed design, assurance, construction support and handover. Throughout my career, I have worked at the interface between design and construction, helping clients, designers and delivery teams develop practical, efficient and buildable engineering solutions. I have led design management activities on major infrastructure projects including Lower Thames Crossing, Thames Water AMP7 Lot 5, Pennington Flash Flood Alleviation Scheme, HS2 utility diversions, Gosport Oil Fuel Depot Redevelopment and Gospel Oak to Barking Electrification. My key areas of interest include: • Design management and technical assurance • Design integration and multidisciplinary coordination • Risk management and constructability • Value engineering and continuous improvement • Stakeholder engagement and collaborative delivery • Mentoring and professional development of engineers Alongside project delivery, I am passionate about supporting the next generation of engineers through Murphy's ICE Training Agreement and my role as an approved Supervising Civil Engineer.

WP026.9 - AREA CENTRAL UTILITY MITIGATIONS Responsible for managing the design on this utility diversion project covering Area Central, Łukasz followed stringent HS2 technical assurance processes and successfully liaised with respective statutory undertakers. He seamlessly integrated design and construction aspects, ensuring that complex traffic management, environmental, programme, and commercial requirements were met. He led innovation initiatives such as the implementation of solution on Paltem Liner, the use of robotics in CCTV surveys on medium pressure gas mains, and the adoption of photogrammetry for precise design development. Łukasz assumed significant PM responsibilities in the absence of dedicated PM support for the initial 4-6 months. This included close liaison with the client’s PM, progress reporting, updating contractual agreements with Arcadis and DACI, raising queries and early warnings, updating the programme with planners, and actively contributing to collaborative working sessions. He also led his team in developing new skills for processing photogrammetry, leveraging his surveying knowledge and network within the wider Murphy group. He facilitated the engagement of lead designer Arcadis and sub-consultant DACI, ensuring fair scope agreements and effective collaboration. He played a key role in managing critical communications, highlighting risks, and drafting early warning notices (EWNs), while supporting the commercial team during design development stages.
OFD Gosport: Raze and Rebuild of the oil fuel depot. Design Management lead on this major multidisciplinary project for DIO. Łukasz managed the design of this multidisciplinary project with lead designer Jacobs/Worley, alongside designers Jubb, TGP, Hoare Lea, architects Stride Treglown, and in-house design teams. This significant redevelopment involved demolishing and rebuilding new fuel tanks to meet the future requirements of the new Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers based in HMNB Portsmouth for the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO). He successfully navigated challenges such as contaminated land, tight programme schedules, and managing interfaces between civil, process, and MEICA design, construction teams, and suppliers. He contributed to delivering the project to BIM level 2 via a fully integrated Common Data Environment (CDE) platform. Łukasz also played a pivotal role in setting up and managing the BIM Execution Plan, ensuring strict document control requirements and effective communication of specifications. He took on leadership roles in several aspects of the project, including setting up CDM reviews, influencing CDE plans, and guiding the setup of workflow processes for design document reviews. His proactive approach and technical acumen were instrumental in the successful delivery of this complex project.
Anglia Structures Maintenance Framework Łukasz was responsible for engineering activities on this ongoing framework, managing engineering aspects of approximately 40 simultaneous design projects. He successfully developed in-house designs and coached a team of in-house design engineers. He was instrumental in managing the framework, writing design briefs, issuing tenders, and overseeing submissions, while also providing engineering support during site activities and ensuring technical compliance of designs.
Gospel Oak to Barking Electrification - GOBE: Managing design delivery for multidisciplinary, major rail infrastructure project. Łukasz effectively managed the design team, ensuring the successful delivery of all GRIP 4 deliverables, meeting contractual milestones, and producing GRIP 5 deliverables. He actively supported construction teams with temporary works designs, addressing site queries, and leading value engineering and constructability workshops with subcontractor designers and clients. His initiatives led to significant value engineering and buildability improvements, including cost savings, health and safety benefits, and programme efficiency.
