What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a UK project role where I can own planning and programme tracking in MS Project, drive contractor coordination, manage risks and issues, and maintain QA/QC and HSE compliance—helping teams deliver safe, high-quality residential and multi-storey work.

I’m a Civil Engineer with an MSc in Project Management and over two years’ experience delivering residential and multi-storey construction projects valued £2m–£20m. I focus on programme coordination, contractor management, and site inspection routines that keep delivery safe, measurable, and on track.

As a Project Manager / Project Engineer, I managed project programmes in MS Project, tracked progress against key milestones, and supported governance through schedule tracking, risk and issue tracking, and procurement monitoring. I also controlled technical documentation and QA/QC sheets with 98% accuracy, and I helped resolve a critical eight-storey lift-shaft structural failure.

I bring a practical, detail-driven mindset—balancing communication between consultants, contractors, and clients with HSE compliance and snagging/quality control. I’m actively developing project controls and governance capability through my MSc and professional affiliations (APM and NSE), so teams can deliver with confidence.
