  JAMES SCOTT LIMITED

  Aug 1987 - Jan 1998

  During this time I was fortunate to gain experience as the overall site manager in railway, retail, healthcare and educational projects within both Scotland and England. This is where I became aware of the use of 3D/BIM for assisting in the design of projects. Part of growing up and enjoying the trade I had worked so hard to get. The best place in Scotland to earn an apprenticeship, worked with some fantastic guys and learned so much. I was very fortunate to have gained this exposure.

  AMEC Building & Facilities Services

  Jan 1998 - Mar 2007

  This was a fantastic role on an excellent project with my team; we designed and built using 3D/BIM. Safety was paramount to what we did and in the words of the client it was ‘history in the making’. We delivered £60m worth of MEP Services over 270,000sqm and achieved 70% prefabrication and modularisation. I was the project manager on major redevelopments of one of the world’s busiest airports, where we delivered the MEP Services for new baggage systems, departure lounges and piers. It was also my first exposure to the potential for prefabrication and modularisation of MEP Services. This was my first undertaking as the project engineer to complete new airport facilities and security systems at multiple locations in London Heathrow.
