Staplehurst, Gb

Norwich, England, United Kingdom

Subcontracted to carry out diverse engineering projects, including underwater foundation work at Canary Wharf to support new building construction, installing eel screens on the River Thames as part of an EU initiative, and restoring foundations at Black Potts Weir to safeguard a critical railway line. Additional tasks involved removing concrete foundations at Canary Wharf using underwater wire saw cutters for new developments, and installing telemetry stations along the Thames to monitor river levels and mitigate flooding risks, which required laying electrical cables through the riverbed to connect to nearby substations.

Rochester, England, United Kingdom

As a subcontractor for Marine and Civil Services, I have supervised and executed a variety of complex projects that required technical expertise, effective team management, and quick decision making under pressure. These included the relocation and salvage of automobiles and aviation equipment within a quarry to enable the construction of underwater research labs, demanding efficiency in time restricted, deepwater environments. I conducted searches and inspections for unexploded audiences in the River Thames and River Medway, ensuring safe construction operations. Leading a team of divers during the decommissioning of Barking Power Station coolant intake, I coordinated with site personnel, communicated risk assessments, and handled underwater machinery. On the Thames Tideway Super Sewer project, I gained hands-on experience in underwater welding and burning, essential skill for the diving industry. Additionally, at the Port of Dover ferry berth extension, I mastered the use of underwater drilling for precise concrete removal and safe rigging of large submerged objects, further developing my expertise in underwater construction project management.

Pluckley, Kent

Project and Site Supervisor with a strong background in mechanical and refurbishment projects across diverse sectors. Notable projects include managing the refurbishment of 179 bedrooms at the Hilton Hotel in Nottingham (2021), where I oversaw plumbing and air-conditioning teams, attended weekly design meetings, and built strong client relationships. Prior to this, I supervised mechanical refurbishments for the NHS St. Martins Hospital (2019) and led mechanical installations for Pure Gyms across the South East (2019). My experience extends to overseeing mechanical installations for SACO Hotels (2018), managing multidisciplinary teams to deliver high quality results in time and within budget. Earlier in my career, I gained hands-on expertise in plumbing through bathroom refurbishments for Warner Hotels (2015), developing a solid foundation in first and second-fix installations.
