01Architecture and project management

Understand the detail.
Lead the next step.

I bring experience in architectural design and construction to the management of rail and energy projects. My work connects technical understanding with clear planning and coordination.

I consider schedules, risks, costs and responsibilities together, helping teams understand dependencies and make informed decisions.

From detail to delivery

Read the detail.
See the whole.

Architecture shapes how I understand details and their relationships. In project management, I use that perspective to coordinate disciplines, clarify interfaces and keep decisions focused on delivery.

03How I contribute

Clear direction.
Coordinated delivery.

Areas of expertise
01

Project Management & Delivery

I organise planning, clarify responsibilities and coordinate the technical input needed for decisions. My experience spans station project management and schedule, risk and interface coordination on major infrastructure programmes.

  • Project planning and clear responsibilities
  • Coordination across disciplines and organisations
  • Decision support through reliable project information

02

PMO Coordination & Governance

My PMO work connects reporting and baseline management with technical and commercial coordination, keeping project information consistent across the teams involved.

  • PMO coordination and project communication
  • Reporting structures, baselines and performance information
  • Further training in PMO functions, standards and portfolio management
SuedLink
03

Scheduling & Project Controls

I develop and maintain schedules that make milestones, dependencies and changes in planning visible. They provide a practical basis for assessing impacts and agreeing the next steps.

  • Schedule development and monitoring
  • Baseline and milestone tracking
  • Microsoft Project and integrated reporting

04

Cost, Risk & Progress

I analyse cost, progress and risk information for forecasts and project reports. At SuedLink, this work included cost calculations, baseline updates and performance analysis.

  • Earned Value Management and performance measurement
  • Cost calculations, cost monitoring and forecasts
  • Risk identification, assessment and workshops
SuedLink
05

Architecture & Construction

Experience in detailed design, procurement and construction coordination helps me assess what a design requires on site. This technical understanding informs my work in project management.

  • Design development and construction drawings
  • Construction coordination and supervision
  • Material, procurement and contract interfaces
Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre
06

BIM & Digital Coordination

I use building models and project systems to coordinate drawings, technical information and reporting. The tools serve the task, from developing a design to tracking project performance.

  • Revit, AutoCAD and Vectorworks in architectural practice
  • BIM modelling and design coordination
  • RIB iTWO, Microsoft Project and Power BI in project work

04PMO and governance

A clear picture
of project performance.

Consistent baselines and coordinated reporting made cost movements and progress easier to assess on SuedLink. At PwC, I helped bring that information together across technical, commercial and PMO teams.

05Professional experience

From architectural practice
to project leadership.

Each role has broadened my understanding of how design decisions become coordinated project work. The timeline traces that development.
