Continued role with GSK on a part-time basis working primarily from home, I supported the Site Project Leads in picking up projects (at all stages) before assigning a new PM or after one leaves. The work was based on closing out projects but also covered a wide spectrum including project engineering & management, procedural reviews & auditing, training & mentoring and Sponsor liaison. I adopted the role of SIte Lead for Altrad from April 2023, which involved on and offsite liaison with the wider Altrad team, monthly reporting & applications and approving timesheets.

Rejoined GSK, Ulverston working through Jacobs Engineering initially as my previous role between 2006 & 2010 by working to GSK procedures. Projects ranged in subject, complexity and value, covering process improvements & product development from £50k in value, to a major £7M brownfield project to replace a number of industrial chillers against a tight deadline. Subsequent projects were managed under Jacob’s EPCM contract with GSK and then latterly (May 2018 onwards) working directly for GSK again via Doosan-Babcock Limited. Projects were wide ranging to support the production facilities & utilities with the most significant playing a key role in ‘Project Chestnut’ which was a £9M programme to rationalise the site’s utilities and support facilities by tailoring them to Orals-only production.

Supported a portfolio of engineering modifications at the Barrow gas terminals with particular emphasis on third party work associated with the Rivers Terminal (owned by Conoco-Phillips). Key role in the identification & implementation of project scopes to improve operational assurance, including replacing obsolete equipment, process/HSEQ/maintenance improvements & mechanical upgrades. A change of ECAPS contractor led to a new role of lead project engineer, which was to manage individual engineering projects or portfolios of engineering projects in terms of cost, schedule, quality & risk, in so doing to co-ordinate project activity of contractors and internal departments. Additionally supported the review of project management processes and assist Technical Authorities in developing & implementing asset engineering strategies.
