Coaching and training led to devolving management responsibility to lead projects and to sharing management data using MS Access and SharePoint. Integrating on and off shore teams lead to significant savings in the cost of employment.I also took on a leading role for Building Information Modelling (BIM) across Jacobs Infrastructure and integrated many of the BIM initiatives across the different business units as well as aligning activities to the UK Government’s BIM Level 2 strategy.
