Engineering Manager for Vattenfall's projects team. Controlling and managing engineering deliverables for major heat projects in Vattenfall UK.

As a Renewable Heat Engineer I perform technical and economic assessments on the use of renewable heat technologies across a wide range of commercial and industrial clients, these include GSHP/WSHP/ASHP, AD, CHP etc.I often consult on District Energy Networks, including the project management and / or project support of DEN feasibility studies, with initial technical design and economic modelling of these systems.This role also requires me to have an awareness of key regulatory and legislative policy than can affect the commercialisation of renewable projects.

During my time as an Energy & Projects Engineer I led low / no carbon projects through feasibility, design, installation and commissioning across a wide range of industrial, commercial and residential clients.On the energy side of the business, I produced feasibility assessments and investment grade business cases for low carbon opportunities. This involved opportunity identification, options appraisal, technoeconomic analysis and business case / report development to provide clients with accessible, tailored renewable solutions based on their operations. This varied from a water source heat pump installation with CHP for a metalworks, to a ground source array with associated solar PV for a leisure client. The projects aspect of my role focussed on the installation of an anaerobic digestion treatment facility with associated biogas to grid. This work included a variety of deliverables which I was responsible for, including; Concept Design Support, Techno-economic Analysis, Technical Specification definition, Contract Drafting, Procurement, Planning Permission Approval, Regulatory Support, Design Due Diligence / Review and Construction Control / Project Management. During this time, I focussed on improving existing business development strategies with the aim of delivering increased business and optimising resource efficiency. I have also had previous experience on ESOS consultation and various other energy saving audits / initiatives across a range of industries from brewing to food manufacturing and leisure etc.
