Project Delivery
“Steve came into a programme I was working on client side as the contractors interim Project Director. The project was a year late and in something of disarray. Issues with design, materials, production, resources, delivery, client relations and so forth. Steve brought an air of authority and calm to the project. He stabilised the project and got the first unit built and into test successfully. He brought the Contractors team together and got them organised so they were all pulling in the same direction in a very short period of time. He was also a good person to work with and always maintained a professional air no matter how difficult the circumstances. I would strongly recommend Steve to you both as an interim and as a permanent operations/project director.”
