I am a senior member of the Engineering Support Services team along side structural, mechanical, electrical and rail engineers. We are ultimately responsible for the technical support for the Mersey Ports infrastructure to ensure that the Ports within our cluster are fully operational and well maintained. We work with the Principles of Asset Management established in BS ISO 55001. The Mersey Cluster includes the Ports of Liverpool, Heysham Port, 12 Quays / Birkenhead Docks and the Manchester Ship Canal. The civil assets I am responsible for include the port's road and rail networks, river walls, dock walls, docks, quayside and buildings, to name a few.A strategic approach is required to oversee the entire cluster and my project management and technical experience enables me to coordinate operational staff on the port as required and also involve specialist consultants to provide technical expertise where necessary.The role needs to be dynamic to adapt to varying business needs; coordinating routine maintenance operations, assessing change of use for new clients, reacting to major incidents and failures and overseeing new installations prior to adoption by the business.I have also taken a supplementary role for the business with regard to The Manchester Ship Canal. The Ship Canal has a complex interaction with a number of river catchments in the region and therefore there is continual liaison with the Environment Agency. Given my previous experience and involvement with the EA teams in the North West I have become actively involved in these discussions as a representative of Peel Ports as owner of the MSC.

Project ManagementDelivery of varied and technically challenging projects ranging from Hydraulic Modelling to the management of full Detailed Design of Fish Passes and Condition Assessment Surveys.Flood Risk AssessmentUndertaken numerous private sector FRAs, ranging from small scale residential developments to nationally significant infrastructure and commercial development projects.Asset Condition AssessmentI have project managed, coordinated and undertaken asset condition surveys for the EA, working alongside structural engineers to assess assets such as bridges and flood risk infrastructure. I have also recently coordinated dock asset surveys for Peel Ports.Environment Agency FCRM AdvisorI have recently spent 11 months on secondment working directly for the EA in Warrington, advising on the project development of their current 6yr investment programme for FCRM activities.Hydraulic ModellingIn 2007 I took the opportunity to learn 1D hydraulic modelling for fluvial systems using ISIS/Flood Modeller Pro. I have a working knowledge of 2D modelling sufficient to project manage fluvial 1D-2D modelling focused assignments.Environmental Impact Assessment have undertaken a number of roles on multidisciplinary projects; over the last 3 years I have been the key account manager for our involvement in large-scale EIAs for the mining and renewables sectors. I have been the lead consultant for the hydrology and flood risk elements of these EIAs for offshore windfarms such as Dogger Bank, and the York Potash mining project for Sirius Minerals PLC in North Yorkshire.Water Utility Infrastructure ManagementFor the last four years I have had a key role on the Elgin Flood Alleviation Scheme (FAS), an £86mil project in north-east Scotland. The project had a significant number of utility infrastructure conflictions and my role was to coordinate the design and negotiate the agreement of the Scottish Water diversions required to enable the scheme to be implemented.

North Wales

Management of all aspects of the Council’s responsibilities as the Coastal Protection Authority. I managed and analysed results from an inspection program of all our coastal protection assets and coordinated a biannual survey of Flintshire’s natural coastal features. At a regional level I represented Flintshire on the Liverpool Bay Coastal Group, the Tidal Dee Users Group and the Cell 11 Working Party. I also represented the Welsh authorities on a technical steering group for SMP sub-cell 11(a) to develop the strategy for the 2nd generation SMP.I established and managed the GIS network and associated data for the Technical Services Department (skilled as an advanced user of several GIS packages which has transferred to Royal Haskoning work).Development and management of minor land drainage/flood alleviation projects for the councils revenue budget requirements (generally <£20,000 per project). This involved problem identification, prioritisation, identification of solutions, gaining the necessary approvals, procurement and management of the works. This experience provided a good insight into the implications of the Land Drainage Act (1991).
