Project delivery · Offshore wind · Digital systems

Engineering complex projects. Improving how they're delivered.

I'm Michael, an engineering project manager combining offshore wind and subsea delivery experience with IFS Cloud, stronger project controls and practical AI.

I connect technical detail with the decisions that move a project forward.

My career sits at the intersection of engineering, project leadership and business improvement.

I manage complex offshore wind and subsea work from contract award through engineering, procurement, manufacturing, testing, delivery and commercial close-out.

Alongside delivery, I help improve the system behind the work: project controls, IFS Cloud, reporting, governance and the practical use of AI in engineering projects.

MSc Engineering ManagementDistinction · Best Project Prize

Delivery discipline, backed by engineering judgement.

Clear ownership. Early decisions. Strong interfaces. Commercial awareness.

01

Complex project delivery

Leading multidisciplinary offshore and subsea projects through engineering, procurement, manufacture, testing, delivery and close-out.

02

Commercial control

Connecting programme, cost, risk, change and client decisions so the commercial position stays visible throughout delivery.

03

Digital transformation

Turning real project needs into practical IFS Cloud workflows, governance, dashboards and repeatable controls.

Anonymised project experience

Where engineering, people and commercial outcomes meet.

Selected work is presented without confidential client or project details.

01
Offshore wind · Programme delivery

Multi-batch cable protection programme

Led engineering, procurement, manufacture, coating, inspection, FAT, logistics and commercial control across a complex European offshore wind programme.

  • Multi-batch delivery
  • Client & supplier leadership
  • Schedule recovery
  • Commercial close-out
02
Digital transformation · IFS Cloud

A controlled project lifecycle, from award to close

Helped translate live project delivery needs into an eight-gate IFS Cloud framework, with clear evidence, ownership, approvals and management visibility.

  • 8 control gates
  • PM & SteerCo dashboards
  • UAT and training
  • Go-live planning
03
R&D · Product qualification

New subsea connector concept

Managed a new offshore cable connector through design, analysis, tooling, prototyping and mechanical qualification while controlling technical and programme risk.

  • Concept to prototype
  • Supplier coordination
  • Qualification testing
  • Technical risk control

PM Super User

From sales handover to project close-out.

I help bridge the gap between how an ERP is configured and how projects actually run. The result is a practical control framework built around the evidence and decisions each delivery stage needs.

Structure without unnecessary bureaucracy.

Control should help people deliver, not create administration.

01

Baseline first

Get clear on scope, acceptance, programme, cost and obligations before execution accelerates.

02

Own the interfaces

Most project failures happen between functions. Make handovers, owners and escalation routes visible.

03

Intervene early

Look for the conditions that create delay and act before the milestone is missed.

04

Join delivery to value

Technical progress, client decisions, change and cash flow belong in the same project conversation.

Engineering → delivery → transformation

Built on technical depth. Focused on better delivery.
