Develop project specific Risk Management Plans to ensure a common integrated risk management framework is adopted to manage project and technical risks throughout the project life cycle. Facilitate qualitative project risk workshops, against a project specific risk breakdown structure to develop a project risk profile and risk register. Organise hazard studies in accordance with a 6-stage hazard study process.Facilitate quantitative risk assessments of project capital estimates and schedules to develop capital and schedule risk profiles. By developing Monte Carlo @ Risk models which considered the impact of estimating uncertainty, specific and global risks. Utilise Primavera Risk Analysis to develop the schedule risk profile to determine the time variable cost impact of schedule overrun, which enables the overall project cost contingency and accuracy be determined.

Applying risk tools (Fault Tree Analysis, Bow Tie diagrams, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis etc) to avoid a repetition of earlier fire & explosion incidents. Undertaking research into coal self heating and ignition properties, coal explosion properties related to temperature, humidity and oxygen concentrations.

Responsible for a $7.5 million project to immobilise legacy liquid nuclear waste. Managing a design team and utilising an in house workshop to develop the process from an initial scientist's experimental concept design. Initially via an engineered mock up facility through to implementation of an active process plant integrated within an existing hot cell environment. Introducing project management techniques to produce a fully scoped Project Execution Plan, including an extensive resourced project plan linked via scope documents identifying items of scope down to work breakdown structure level backed by an assumption based risk register.

Managing an £80 million portfolio of projects to retrieve and encapsulate (in cement and polymer) solid and wet nuclear wastes from underground vaults and tanks, encompassing project conceptual design, hazard and safety analysis, sub-contract management of design, manufacture, installation, commissioning of facilities, operation and decommissioning.
