I am a Chartered Consulting Engineer with over 25 years experience specialising in the areas of geotechnical engineering, road, rail and active travel planning and design. I have acted as principal geotechnical adviser, design director, project manager, independent checker and reviewer and designer on many large-scale infrastructure projects in Ireland, the UK and worldwide, as well as providing expert advice on disputes.
My experience also includes design and assessment of flood defence schemes, water and wastewater infrastructure, energy projects and mining and waste management schemes.
I am adept at delivering sensible, cost effective and innovative solutions to a variety of civil engineering problems, large and small, and increasingly with strong sustainability credentials. I was recognized by the Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE) in 2021 as one of the inaugural ‘Carbon Champions’ for my innovative and sustainable geotechnical design work.
