  I was promoted to Principal Engineer to reflect my increased responsibilities as a member of the Senior Management Team, mentoring junior staff and running larger projects with less supervision. Design to relevant BS /BS-EN codes, furthered understanding of published technical guidance and application of temporary works management procedures to BS5975 and the CDM Regulations. Once chartered (CEng MICE) I became more client facing with my role, not just managing design development but also developing scheme designs for pricing and budget fee estimates for tender submissions. I now manage all aspects of the design requirements of my projects and brief my Directors weekly on technical developments according to the clients programme. Design to relevant BS/ BS-EN design Codes. On relocation to the UK (London) I joined WHP as a Design Engineer working as part of a team under the Project Director. I developed various temporary works schemes and technical submissions on behalf of the Contractors site based management team. All design to BS Codes.
