What I'm looking for

I'm seeking technical project, operations, or infrastructure delivery roles in renewable energy, utility systems, smart metering, or digital energy platforms, where I can lead multidisciplinary teams, deliver compliant programmes, and support complex field-based projects.

I've led smart metering programmes for Mojec International, solar PV and mini-grid delivery at Bagaja Renewables, and IoT-driven energy infrastructure deployments at PowerTech–Venture Garden Group. Across these roles, I manage projects from procurement and installation through commissioning, reporting, and client handover.

I bring 9+ years across civil engineering, utility networks, renewable energy, and digital energy monitoring. I've managed multidisciplinary teams, maintained NERC and HSE compliance, delivered 30+ renewable energy engagements, and was recognised as Most Outstanding MAP Representative for KEDCO metering delivery.
