What I'm looking for

I'm targeting Capital Projects, Data Centre, Infrastructure, Industrial and Fit-Out leadership roles in the UK.

At Tata Advanced Systems Limited, I led concurrent Airbus and Dassault Rafale capital projects, establishing delivery methods, governance, project controls, and procurement strategies. I also led project estimation and proposals supporting approval of capital investments exceeding £10M.

I led the £15M Airbus C295 greenfield facility as the client-facing Project Manager, delivering it within contractual timelines and 4% below approved budget. I managed its commercial lifecycle, customer audits, and final facility acceptance and sign-off.

Earlier, I led SAP S/4HANA maintenance transformation across six factories, supporting more than 100 users, and implemented TPM across 150+ critical assets. These initiatives reduced critical-machine MTTR from eight hours to under four and increased MTBF by 30%.
