Michael Hamill

Contract Engineer

Summary

As a Contract Engineer at a road marking and highway safety company, I manage up to 12 crews across multiple sites daily. The position includes coordinating and scheduling work being carried out on the trunk roads across Scotland. My role is to manage the crews in such a way that the work is completed, on time, on budget, and to the high standard that the client expects.

Safety is paramount in my current role, there are many risks that need to be evaluated on a site-by-site basis. To minimise these risks, I am responsible for ensuring that all employees are familiar with the standard operating procedures that are relevant for each task.

Since being employed by WJ, I have been responsible for multiple million-pound projects including the continuous improvement of the M8 and A720.
