On how his role contributes to improving people’s lives

“We are always conscious of the impact a project can have on the communities it touches and try to encourage schools to visit the project so pupils can see the range of careers and skills that are available on a construction project. It’s also good to give something back to the communities we are working in and building local footpaths and putting up festive lights and trees at Christmas are some examples. At times, our projects do require road closures, so we work together to try and avoid peak times and events.”

 

The biggest challenge for project management professionals

Mark says embracing change and staying ahead of the curve is key! In a digital age where ‘rapid engineering’ techniques and offsite manufacturing are gaining momentum, expectations are changing. He believes challenging the norm will bring success.

 

Mark’s top tips for successful project delivery

• Manage by fact, use data to inform every decision
• Be brave, be bold, push the boundaries don’t follow the norm
• Set high expectations and a clear vision for the project team to own
