Assistant Consultant
CurrentIn February 2024 I joined the Assets and Operations team at Arup as an assistant consultant. I quickly became involved in PMO work for Transport Infrastructure Ireland. Whilst the role is varied, on a routine basis I train new joiners in using TII's Microsoft Teams platform, I compile monthly reports in areas of finance, interoperability, risk, and project-specific updates for the Tolling Portfolio Progress Group, and I create user manuals to improve work efficiencies across TII's Teams. Our small PMO team have also began to explore ways in which we bring value to our Arup colleagues alongside the work we already do. Our aims are to standardise systems across our team from project start-ups to close-outs, to assist project managers in their delivery and to reduce time (and financial) waste across a project's life span. In addition to this role, I am also currently assisting TII in their asset management. I currently track, record, and update TII's energy department on the status of their ITS sites in regards to billing, energy consumption, and meter readings. I have also been working on an asset tracker for TII to provide a document detailing hundreds of ITS assets across the nation, the depreciation status of these assets and their current NBV.
