Technical Risk and Delivery Expert in Renewable Energy and Emerging Technologies.

Substations · Data Centres · Energy Infrastructure

Delivering complex, power-intensive infrastructure from engineering through construction and commissioning.

I verify the design, govern the interfaces, and build the execution strategy — so that what gets built matches what was planned, on time and within budget.

Hull-side power generation and distribution. Topsides gas turbine power. Control rooms with MV, LV, and ICSS.

HOW I ADD VALUE

Improve delivery certainty across cost, schedule, and execution
Validate engineering against constructability, operability, and certification requirements
Align engineering with construction and commissioning realities
Establish and govern interface management frameworks across multi-contractor environments
Reduce interface risk across CSA, MEP, and contractor scopes
Define project execution strategy aligned to risk, contracting structure, and FID milestones
Bring structure and control to complex EPC environments

ABOUT

I am a Technical Risk and Delivery Expert with over 30 years of experience delivering complex infrastructure across energy, offshore, and industrial sectors. My career spans Siemens, TechnipFMC, and leadership roles in offshore wind and grid infrastructure.

I operate at the intersection of engineering, construction, and commercial delivery — bringing design verification, interface governance, and execution discipline to large-scale EPC programmes.

I work on both sides of the fence — embedded within owner and developer teams as well as EPC organisations — providing the senior technical accountability that complex projects demand.
