Ross Park Email & Phone Number

I am a very motivated and proactive designer, always keen to push the boundaries and test new things whilst maintaining a level of understanding for each brief and client requirements.I have worked at various practices over the years, each of which have varied in company size and dynamic along with a diverse selection of project sectors. I have been fortunate that I have been involved in a varying selection of project sectors which include: - education, residential, commercial, judicial, retail, healthcare, sports + leisure, bids and competition work Local and international). My main focus in recent years however, has been in the Educational Sector, working on a variety of projects of differing scales and budgets with my most recent project being the New build and refurbishment at the Hawkshead Campus for the RVC which had the added complexity of being traditional and working with live buildings.Detail and quality are a key driver for me on every project and ensuring that what is drawn is achievable from a construction perspective whilst offering the client and project the level of quality + design it demands. From working in the various project sectors, I have developed a firm grasp of the various building standards involved and have a keen understanding of materials, detailing and CAD techniques. Along with working on projects from inception to completion through the various RIBA work stages meeting tight programme deadlines, working on my own initiative and as an integrated member of the team.In the past year I have taken on the role of Studio Manager within the education sector at Norr, which in addition to managing projects and teams, I also have an overview of all projects within our sector in the Glasgow office. This entails managing resource + time, managing project business plans and regularly reviewing and adjusting, reporting to senior management on projects and resourcing for our studio as well as staff performance reviews and general timesheet/holidays management. Within this role I have also set up studio chats to allow the team on a monthly basis to get together and discuss various aspects of the job/projects/issues etc
