مجموع سنوات الخبرة :11 years, 9 أشهر
As Design and Engineering Manager for Supreme Group I lead the planning, organization and management of all Architectural and Engineering activities acting as either the Client or Contractor dependent on the project. I manage a team of subject matter experts overseeing all Architectural, Civil, Structural, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering design, procurement and construction from RFP conception to completion. I am required to generate project and material specifications for all construction concepts as well as review and approve all construction designs, drawings, specifications and deliverables.
I am responsible for preparing detailed Scope of Works to correctly and accurately dictate the requirements of Supreme, Contractors and Clients to internal or third party suppliers and Contractors. Undertake Contract negotiation and management of construction projects including all consultant inputs. Further to this I prepare and deliver Contractual Agreements for use by Contractors including any further reviews and approvals for Contract Change Orders and Variations.
As part of my project and financial management responsibilities I establish, review and schedule work priorities. Prepare and deliver detailed work programs for all construction projects. Monitor Contractor progress in relation to the approved works program and implement review and quality assurance procedures in accordance with Supreme methodology. I have reviewed and instigated changes required to ensure Supreme’s competitiveness in a commercial construction market; ensuring successful execution of consulting engagements / projects as measured by Supreme goals and customer satisfaction.
I direct and manage the processes from Supplier to site for all material deliveries required for each project and also manage external consultants including scope, fees and QC requirements. Minimize exposure and risk across multiple projects and undertake corporate risk analysis and apply to project activities therefore mitigating risk.
As part of my role I capitalize on opportunities to increase client bases, customer satisfaction and solidify client relationships. I prepare detailed budgets for Investment Approval and then manage those budgets to achieve the revenue goals set for projects. This cannot be accomplished without an acute ability to accurately forecast project costs and continually monitor all monthly expenditure in accordance with approved budgets and staff overhead costs.
As a manager I lead by example, I firmly believe in the development and advancement of individuals within the team accelerates the progression of the team as a whole. It is extremely important to communicate relevant project / practice information to superiors, peers, and subordinates so that lessons learnt are learnt together. I look to instigate and manage programs relating to performance evaluations and career development planning. I review and assess training needs of team to ensure optimum performance and actively pursue excellence in all aspects of the departments’ activities. I believe it is important to identify and utilize opportunities for change, growth and development within and outside of the team to build expert knowledge and identify / promote progressive change. This ensures a creative and innovative environment is maintained.

Clerk of Works & Project Manager
The role of Clerk of Works & Project Manager allowed a continued progression from my previous roles adding construction management and quantity surveying to my
design and technical knowledge allowing me to design, quantify, program, manage and quality control construction projects to a very high standard.
Working in a leading role within the Capital Facilities department of an NHS
Foundation Trust called upon my experience of Building Regulations, British
Standards and also propel my knowledge of Health Building Notes and
Memorandums to an exceptionally high level.
I met daily with clients and consultants to discuss schemes from a conceptual level and build the weakest of briefs into a fully detailed, quantified and programmed full
business case for board approval. I then drove the project throughout its
development and construction on site to deliver, as promised, great buildings or departments on time and on budget.
The Project Manager and Clerk of Works roles were a perfect marriage as they both aimed to produce the finest product possible in the most efficient manner and I was
able to keep a firm hold of projects, contractors and subcontractors.
October 2004 - May 2009 Fj Architects
Senior Architectural Technologist
Since I joined the team at FJ Architects both my technical and general knowledge of all aspects of design and construction increased at an accelerated rate propelling my
status in the company from an enthusiastic junior to a senior position within 5
years.
As Senior Architectural Technologist my role was to take a project from conception to completion including initial contact with a client and development of feasibility
schemes right through planning, tender, building regulations and production of all
drawings, details and specifications required to 'As Built' drawings and snagging.
I worked on many varying schemes which have developed into fantastic buildings,
homes and complexes notably:
Mixed Use
£20m Mixed use (Residential & Commercial) Development, Wakefield
Retail
Two £3m Toys R Us flagship stores - Southampton & Brent Cross, London
£6m Cavendish Square Shopping Centre, Swindon
Joining Tribal Asset Management whilst in my final year of University I was charged with the surveying of schools throughout the north of England with a view to creating DFES information used to decide future school budgets for the development of additional facilities.
The data which I gathered during the surveys was converted into detailed AutoCAD files with embedded attribute information for each individual room to ascertain use, dimensions, condition and department.
I developed lisp routines which significantly reduced the time frame required to produce finished documents for client distribution.
