Summary

A disciplined and results-driven professional with a strong background in the utilities sector, underpinned by experience in the armed forces and a hands-on career in fibre network build. Having progressed from field-level roles to a hybrid Project Manager position, I bring a grounded, practical understanding of site operations alongside strong planning, coordination, and stakeholder management skills. Experienced in overseeing contractors, conducting site audits, chairing STL meetings, and liaising with councils and customers, I ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and to high standards. My background has shaped a proactive, solution-focused approach, with a proven ability to manage projects from planning through to sign-off.
