What expertise and background do you bring to the table?
Following a degree from Oxford Brookes University in Real Estate Management, I started my career as a site-based Project Manager focusing on High End Residential Developments for a Private Developer. I then moved to a Consultancy and worked in both Public and Private Sectors across a range of project types including Commercial Offices, Supermarkets, Purpose Built Student Accommodation and Industrial. I have experience of the entire life cycle of a project.
Can you outline the responsibilities of your role?
As a Project Manager, my role begins early in the process. We collaborate closely with our clients to review the project brief, assess feasibility, and identify key risks and opportunities. From there, we appoint the most suitable consultant team for the project, which may include Designers, Planners, Solicitors, and others, and lead them through the design development phase. Once the design is complete, we tender the project and enter into a contract with the most appropriate Contractor. This outlines our pre-contract responsibilities.
Post-contract, we act as the Employer’s Agent, executing the contract on behalf of the client. Our duties in this phase include budget management, stakeholder engagement, change control, and quality reviews. We work in close partnership with the Contractor to ensure the project is effectively managed in terms of time, quality, and cost.
Describe your experiences and growth?
I started at Circle in November 2024 and I am currently delivering a mixture of super prime and BTR projects. I am being supported on the Chartership programme by Circle and growing as a professional surrounded by exceptional colleagues, Consultants and Contractors.
What is your favourite project?
Whilst all the projects are rewarding, I am particularly enjoying the Prime Residential project in Central London. I am passionate about exceptional design, best in class workmanship and high-quality materials which this project satisfies.
What brings you joy outside of work?
I enjoy running, surfing and rock ‘n’ roll music.
