ABOUT US

Expressing good communication skills and an ability to both understand and interrogate data, I have been fortunate enough to work across a multitude of sectors globally, from diamond mines in Australia to oil & gas refineries in Houston and delivering millions of square feet of corporate real estate in New York.

As a trainee Quantity Surveyor, I was lucky enough to work with the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) on a pro-bono project based in Sierra Leone. This taught me invaluable skills, not only technically (as in, measuring the volumetric weight of thousands of wooden window slats, or how bricks were produced by hand in the middle of a rainforest), but also on the softer skills of liaising and building relationships with individuals on the other side of the world.

With a background of design and technology integrated with vast construction experience, I have a strong ability to develop/innovate processes and procedures which can be personalized to any client. I also strive in demanding environments with a strong ability to negotiate on behalf of my clients. I have a range of experience thru a number of sectors, including; penitentiaries, manufacturing, retail, corporate real estate and ‘ground-up’ construction.

As I started my career I worked on a modern penitentiary concept in Scotland. This was very different to your ‘standard’ construction project and one which developed my understanding of construction materials very quickly.

Throughout my career I have maintained a keen eye for detail and the use of logic to problem solve. I pride myself in my work ethic and strive to deliver accurate results to my clients. Spending much of my career embedded within client organisations, I aim to help clients better understand and improve their internal processes, allowing them as an organisation to deliver capital projects more efficiently. Experience in corporate real estate at both project and portfolio level, data centers, as well as project controls services within the petrochemical and oil & gas sectors.

Helping a Client relocate a substantial aspect of their operations from midtown Manhattan to New Jersey. This relocation enabled a transition and improvement within clients workplace culture. This vastly improved my understanding of the continually changing approach in the workplace landscape as well as project delivery methods.

With over 10 years’ experience in the construction industry, I have worked closely with various clients across multiple sectors such as, corporate real estate, data center development, big pharma, themed entertainment & education. Throughout my career, I have been integrated into many client teams providing program, cost, & contract management services. This has given me an in-depth understanding of how to adapt to and understand each specific client’s needs, working with multiple stakeholders within different organizations. No matter the type and scale of the engagement, my passion lies in bringing collaborative approaches and innovative ideas to exceed my clients’ expectations and to provide them with the best level of service.

After relocating from Ireland to the U.S, I had a unique opportunity to join a leading software company’s data center development team as a cost manager. The project started out as a green field site and within three years, our team had delivered over a million square feet of data center space. I contributed to the success of this project by utilizing my pre and post-construction skills at all phases of the project from concept through closeout. This allowed me to build strong relationships with different stakeholders involved in the project, and to further my understanding of the roles, challenges, and interests each party had within the project. Looking back at this experience, it brings me a sense of personal achievement to have been involved in a project of this scale and complexity early on in my career.

With over 12 years’ experience in the construction industry between the UK and US, I have had the pleasure of working with a number of global clients across a broad range of sectors including corporate real estate, technology, education, government, hospitality and leisure. With strong communication skills and great enthusiasm, I enjoy developing strong relationships with both clients and employees, and I am very passionate about creating a collaborative culture.

Relocating to New York 6 years ago.

With both Greenfield & Refurbishment experience across most of the major sectors (High Tech & Manufacturing, Datacentres, Corporate Fit-Out & Natural Resources) I have been able to transfer skills across the sectors and create a demonstratable history of protecting clients commercially and producing measurable cost savings.

Whilst working within a large Oil& Gas Business Real Estate Services team, I was able demonstrate my value by generating realized savings in excess of $7.5M across a 6-month period. It was through these contract-sum reviews and the recognition that came from the client, that I was then specifically requested by the Global Real Estate Portfolio Manager to move with him into a new role within the company. Working on major Joint Venture Projects globally.

The opportunity was for a 17 floor fit out for a leading multinational investment bank, project value of $170m.

Subsequently we were awarded the contract.

With over 10 years of experience in the construction industry as a cost estimator for General Contractors, as well as a Cost Manager for numerous Developers, I have a deep understanding of how budgets are established during pre-construction and how they evolve during the construction stage.

I have worked on many major residential, commercial, office and multi-use projects in Florida, California, and Overseas, with projects budgets ranging from $20M to $800M.

Immediately following me obtaining my Masters Degree, I had the opportunity to spend a year in Brazil working as a project engineer on the construction of a drywall factory for an international company. Working in such a foreign environment, and surrounded by a team with ten different nationalities was an incredible experience and challenge. It taught me that communication and adaptation are some of the most important aspects of any job.

After spending the first five years of my career working overseas, I was given the opportunity to return home to the Highlands of Scotland to work on a major project delivering a key piece of infrastructure to the UK’s electrical transmission network.

After moving from Australia to the US, my first assignment was a full-time secondment at a large technology retailer.

I am a consistent and reliable individual, with high organisational and practical skills. My aim is to provide clients a high level of service using my experience and understanding of construction.

I was recently tasked with working as part of the commercial team in delivery of a prestigious new build, three storey university building. As part of the scheme we were also responsible for the renovation of an existing building. The project was highly innovative and collaborative across all team members. Maintaining a live university environment whilst renovating and constructing 107,639 sq ft of new teaching spaces, was certainly a challenge and it was a proud moment to see the building in final use! .

I have been fortunate enough to gain experience across multiple sectors and countries throughout my career which has led to a more adaptable and agile approach to cost and commercial management. My involvement at both the project and portfolio level, as well as a short time on the general contracting side, has given me a strong understanding of best practices project delivery, which I look to draw from at every opportunity.

While embedded within a previous client’s real estate development team we were able to maintain and manage productivity on a number of projects through the challenges being presented by the CV-19 pandemic. Through the introduction of strict and clear safety protocols, and allowing sufficient commercial and schedule allocations within our projections, we were able to successfully navigate the uncertainty while ensuring the minimization of staffing furloughs of our own staff as well as the staff of our supply chain.
