Lead and manage multiple engineering departments (35+ staff) responsible for all aspects of maintenance for equipment and facilities, as well as delivery of capital projects.Lead and coach a multidisciplinary team of project managers & engineers delivering a large program ($40m+ total value) of projects including new equipment procurement & installation, as well as upgrades to existing equipment. At any point in time, we will typically have 20+ active projects in progress.Strategic planning for projects, planning, staffing, budgeting and implementation.Staff recruitment.Develop, improve and implement project governance techniques.Project evaluation and business proposal development.Budget development and reporting.Key projects within the project program are:- Complete medium speed bottle filling line, highly automated with in-house design of line control system- 5T Manufacturing plant & associated services upgrades- Intermediate bulk liquid storage system (buffer tanks between bulk manufacture & filling), designed in-house by an expert team of mechanical, electrical and automation engineers. Fully automated system with no manual operator tasks.

Lead and coach a multidisciplinary team of project managers & engineers delivering a large program ($15m+ yearly) of projects including new equipment procurement & installation, as well as upgrades to existing equipment.Strategic planning for projects, planning, staffing, budgeting and implementation.Staff recruitment.Develop, improve and implement project governance techniques.Project evaluation and business proposal development.Budget development and reporting.Key projects:- Renovation of a complete manufacturing facility. This complex project was delivered while continuing to operate the GMP manufacturing facility, by completing the renovation works in stages while tightly managing controls and the impacts to nearby areas which continued to operate. The works included replacement of all HVAC systems, LED lighting, fire protection & sprinklers systems, a highly automated building management system (BMS), replacement of ceilings, internal & external walls. Total project value $25m+- Key role in the construction of our innovation centre, including GMP facility for filling operations for low speed lines. Total project value $12m+- Long list of small & medium projects including water distribution system for clean in place (CIP) water at 85 deg C, new steam boiler, compressed air system upgrade with new distribution pipework and compressor, automation upgrade of an existing mixing vessel, automated temperature monitoring and reporting of sensitive areas, and many more

Lead and coach a multidisciplinary team working across project management, machine and line upgrades, and continuous improvement.Strategic planning for projects, planning, staffing, budgeting and implementation.Staff recruitment.Develop and implement project governance techniques.Project evaluation and business proposal development.Budget development and reporting.Key projects:- Complete bottle filling line for hazardous products (hand santiser). Highly automated medium speed (150 units/min) with minimal operator intervention required. From bottle unscrambling through to automated palletising. The line includes a complex conveyor system working across multiple floor levels and between different buildings, with fully automated line control, all contained within a very small footprint.

Design of special purpose machines, CAD modelling, concept development, prototyping and testing design concepts, detail design, producing manufacturing drawings, providing engineering support during manufacture, supervision of installation of equipment, training new / graduate staff, assembly and testing for equipment I have designed, conducting DFMEAs and risk reviews, development of standard operating procedures. In this role I have been exposed to projects through their entire life cycle, from concept to completion.

Project management, development of manufacturing processes and procedures, increasing efficiency and optimisation of manufacturing processes and procedures, development of more efficient drawing systems and documentation for standard products, CAD modelling, preparing quotes, conducting HAZOPs. Streamlining workflows to reduce engineering hours required to deliver projects: This included producing standard drawings which contained enough detail for entire product lines instead of re-drawings on a case by case basis, creating customised routines for CAD software to automate the 3D modelling process and standardising products.

Project management, feasibility reports, concept formulation and design, 3D CAD modelling of concepts and equipment for construction, detail design, plant layout drawings and models, animation of concepts in Solidworks, cost estimation, setting up management procedures for storing of detail drawings, liaising with clients and suppliers, design and manufacture of specialised machinery for many different industries (pharmaceutical, food, steel works).
