Manage the signalling construction delivery department for Works Delivery Scotland whilst developing a growing successful team , increased business delivery output from £300k to £15 million by developing stakeholder relations and empowering the delivery team to deliver larger projects.

Provided project engineering support to the Scotland route, overseeing the delivery of signalling life extension works, level crossing renewals/upgrades, and a range of signalling enhancement projects. This involved providing crucial technical expertise to ensure the successful execution of a diverse range of rail signalling projects.

Supervise a team of signalling construction and testing staff responsible for executing maintenance and renewals within the Scotland route. Additionally, conduct signal testing, including SMTH and SWTH, as necessitated by project requirements.

Progressing through the signalling ranks from assistant technician to technical officer, my professional journey has encompassed diverse roles including SMTH tester, SWTH tester, installation team leader, and maintenance team leader. This journey has provided me with comprehensive experience and a deep understanding of the intricacies at various levels within the signalling domain.

Starting as an assistant signalling installer, learning the trade before progressing to the role of installer. Engaged in a variety of projects, including relay room re-wires and level crossing installations across the UK, I gained valuable hands-on experience in signalling installation practices.
