In a career that spans across four decades split evenly between Pharmaceuticals/Fine Chemicals and Oil & Gas /Petrochemicals, I have safely and successfully delivered projects for a number of blue chip majors in the UK, Europe, Middle East, Canada and India often in challenging geographical and economic environments.
By way of professional credentials I am a Chartered Mechanical Engineer, CEng FIMechE, Chartered Environment Engineer, CEnv and a PMI Certified Project Manager PMP.
In addition I am a published author in CCUS having worked with an industry consortium supported by the Energy Institute to develop guidance in CCUS Technology and Hazards. For the majority of my career I have been based directly on operating sites and as a result have a deep understanding of the myriad of challenges that people working in such environments face on a day to day basis when charged with delivering single and /or multiple projects to safety, cost, quality and time.
Whether it’s capital planning, preparing project justifications, requests for funding, acquiring project resources, dealing with planning, regulatory and consents issues and responding to queries from colleagues such as EHS, HR, Operations, R&D, Engineering, Maintenance, Finance, Accounts and last but not least the boss – I’ve been there and lived it and usually it’s all on top of the day job!
This deep understanding of such pressures and challenges along with the experience gained over the years drives everything I do to help clients and colleagues define and deliver projects and forms the foundation of the way PivotPM work. Such direct experience and understanding of the way operating sites work is something that’s rarely found in conventional EPC and Engineering Consultancy offerings which can often lead to lack of understanding, delays and overspend simply through not getting the brief early enough. I believe that this is what makes PivotPM different.
Based in Teesside in the north-east of England, PivotPM Limited is a member of NEPIC and fully supports initiatives to foster education, development, mentoring, diversity, STEM and the improving of the connection between engineers and society.
