Nick is a Planning Manager with 18 years’ experience in the construction and engineering industry, twelve of which have been in engineering roles ranging from Land Surveyor to Agent. This experience provides Nick with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively plan and manage programmes on major projects.
Nick has recent experience working on motorway projects, valued at up to £400m. He has been involved in the planning process from SGAR 3 through detailed design, final estimate and into construction. Nick’s responsible have included management of a team of planners, collaborating with designers and delivery partners, ensuring alignment of the cost-loaded programme with PRISM and that control accounts were coded correctly, as well as implementing a planning cycle to ensure accurate reporting. He also exported monthly contract programmes into Tilos time location software, in order to establish overall and 12-week lookahead.
Nick demonstrates an in-depth knowledge of Primavera 6 and other planning software, which he has used across major projects from inception to handover. For example, he has produced weekly reviews of short-term programmes and achieved outputs using Aphex planning software, enabling clash detection of work areas thus minimizing delays on site. Planned and actual quantities were recorded against each activity and compared against those in P6 using Power BI, producing S-Curves for key packages.
