Project Manager

March 2006 - May 2007

£4.0M per annum

This role involved the delivery of a portfolio of projects as Project Manager for the Main Contractor, including CE&I, Civil and Mechanical disciplines along with various design & build contracts. Due to the rapid turnover of estimates and projects, I streamlined the project management function to integrate estimating, planning and commercial activities. This minimised resource requirements and maximised turnover of work and profit. Combining my estimating and planning experience proved to be an integral link to effectively managing the project, my duties were as follows: -

1 Detailed cost estimates developed using either 'estimation' estimating software or excel spreadsheets. Man hours developed from installation labour norms with assessed labour efficiency factors.

2 Use of Project Management software Primavera P3 to develop integrated Programme consisting of schedule, resources and costs.

3 Weekly Progress Reporting - Commercial, Planning (BCWP / BCWS / ACWP)

4 Monthly internal commercial reporting.

5 Sub-Contract Selection and procurement.

6 Co-Ordination of engineering and supervision resources.

7 Risk Management - Integrating commercial, contractual, engineering, safety and schedule risks from tender, risk registers updated monthly as projects progress.
