  Assistant Business Engineer

  As a building engineer, I am responsible for overseeing the successful delivery of construction projects within budget and on schedule. I manage contract and ad-hoc staff on-site, prepare safety permits and documents, and coordinate various trades to ensure smooth project execution. My strategic planning ensures that resources are maximized, and losses are minimized.Some of my notable projects include a new Marine Science Lab for the University of Portsmouth worth £3M, where I conducted value engineering surveys to identify client needs and cost-saving opportunities. This resulted in a £3,000 saving on sub-structure works.In the £4M New Science Block for Portsmouth Grammar School under the BSF School Framework, I collaborated with the project manager and client representative to address design, contractual, and commercial issues. I also held monthly production meetings with sub-contractors to identify cost-saving ideas and enhance work effectiveness, leading to a reduction in preliminaries from 14 to just 5 working days.At the £14M Resort Hotel for Butlins Group, I managed and coordinated on-site labor and worked with the construction team on innovative methods to satisfy a difficult client. I maintained efficient traffic management to minimize disruption to holidaymakers and prevent loss of revenue during peak season.Finally, at the £16M Leisure & Swimming Pool Facility for the Portsmouth City Centre in preparation for the 2012 Olympics, I managed and coordinated on-site labor, ensured Health and Safety compliance for all sub-contractors and labor, and collaborated with the construction team on innovative methods to deliver the project for a challenging client.
