The rare combination

Three delivery models. Two industries. One career.

Most HSE leaders specialise on one side of the table. I've led safety as the project management consultant (PMC), as the contractor delivering the work (EPC), and as the client protecting the asset — across process plants and heavy infrastructure alike.

360°

Safety seen from every seat at the table.

Because I've sat on all three sides — consultant, contractor and client — I read a programme's real risk picture, not just my own scope. That perspective closes the gaps between design intent, site execution and operational reality where incidents actually happen.
