Experienced and innovative program and project manager, civil engineer, and advocate for change management, with over 30 years of leadership and technical expertise in the Royal Engineers. I am passionate about leveraging technology, process improvement, and engineering innovation to deliver impactful solutions in program management, infrastructure development, and data-driven environments.Throughout my career, I have demonstrated an ability to adapt and excel in complex and dynamic environments, including: • Leadership in crisis response: Spearheaded first-principle engineering solutions during the Hurricane Irma response in the Caribbean. • Pioneering change initiatives: Led a key role in the Army’s Empowerment Programme, driving cultural and procedural transformation. • Digital innovation in infrastructure: Introduced Building Information Management (BIM) practices into the Corps of Royal Engineers, recognized with the 2023 Army Officer of the Year award by the Worshipful Company of Engineers.My Army journey began as a plant operator mechanic in 1994, progressing through a Higher National Diploma (HND) and culminating in a Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering. Commissioned in 2016, I honed my expertise in project and program management across technical disciplines, including water development, physical security engineering, and infrastructure resilience. Notably, I contributed to the emergency Workington Bridge solution, earning recognition in the 2010 Queen’s Birthday Honours List.Beyond my professional career, I am a lifelong learner who thrives in challenging environments. As a “deep-end learner,” I embrace opportunities to master new skills, often in high-pressure situations. I combine my love of technology with hobbies such as photogrammetry and video production using drone technology, and I enjoy helping others join my family’s inline skating hobby, which sharpens both mental and physical skills.Above all, I am a dedicated family man, proud father of two and husband to an inspiring partner. I bring integrity, authenticity, and an ability to communicate effectively across all levels, making me a natural fit for senior roles in program and project management, infrastructure data management, and engineering innovation.
