Delegated Project Design Authority for the 4LM project being delivered to Transport for London. Working in alignment with the chief PDA, I oversee the design and system implementation activities for the provision of the technical solution. This includes governance of the engineering system delivery lifecycle through gated reviews instilled in accordance with company practices. I led the transformation to bring in GIS and BIM technology and practices into the Thales’s URS projects. This has involved spearheading the delivery of a LiDAR survey of the LUL infrastructure to allow for absolute position referencing to be used during on-site installation and testing activities, reducing the need to take onsite measurements and thus cutting expensive on-site manual man-power.
