Civil Engineering
A wide range of responsibilities were entrusted to me throughout my career in Civil Engineering, from solution development using hydraulic modelling, to the final preparation and submission of various tenders, contract documents and specifications including detailed design drawings. For a detailed employment history please visit my LinkedIn page.
I have worked closely with clients, multidisciplinary teams and colleagues based in different departments, offices and countries. These opportunities enabled me to understand the need to vary written and verbal styles to suit the situation and recipient of the information. I am experienced in chairing meetings with clients and external stakeholders.
I am comfortable working in a team or unaided with minimal supervision, but I know when to ask for help. I am also keen to help others where I can use my skills, knowledge and experience. I recognise the concept of teamwork in a wider sense, extending beyond the limits of my own team when working on projects involving internal and external clients.
Throughout my career I have acted as a mentor to junior staff and have been responsible for establishing and training an offshore modelling team. I spent three months in India developing inter-country working arrangements and building relationships. I was responsible for preparing and delivering hydraulic modelling training to twelve graduate engineers.
Most hydraulic modelling projects consist of a large-scale planning, acquisition and data management to match models to real world monitoring records of asset operations, flows and rainfall. I led on the development of new tools and techniques to optimise and automate the modelling processes, mainly using MapInfo GIS software and their MapBasic programming language.
My recent experience involved preparing and evaluating tenders, and the detailed design of several projects located on the Island of Jersey, including the design of the new sewage treatment works (for more details read here ). I was also responsible for building a new 3D model and visualisation of the proposed works, the final video visualisation is available here.
