Major multi-disciplinary infrastructure

• A511, Leicester City Council. Leading digital delivery on a major highways and bridge temporary-works scheme, processing LiDAR and 2D designs for swept-path and access analysis, cut and fill volumes, and generating 3D models for 4D construction sequencing.

• Meridian Water regeneration, Enfield Council. Led GIS asset delivery. Built an FME workflow converting CAD design data into schema-compliant GIS assets that maintained attribution throughout design updates, cutting asset delivery from several weeks to a few hours. VINCI Group Innovation Award Runner Up in Data and Digital.

• Eco Park South, VINCI Facilities. Delivered BIM and asset information handover, embedding KKS asset codes into Revit and IFC models and coordinating a federated Navisworks model across 17 files and two Revit versions, resolving model alignment and coordinate issues ahead of client handover.

• Document compliance. FME workflow auditing the common data environment against 17 standards and cross-referencing delivery plans, flagging 600+ non-compliant documents and 3,000 unmatched codes on the first run. VINCI Special Mention in Optimisation.

• AI constraints reporting. FME and LLM pipeline that queries public GIS data within a site boundary and produces a first-pass constraints report for an early-stage desk study, naming the datasets it could not reach and checked by an engineer before use.

• Drawing QA. FME tool that reads PDF title blocks and validates them against project rules, cutting a 500-drawing manual check to 2.8 seconds.

• GIS Process Flow standard. Authored the company's ISO 19650 aligned standard, defining data governance, an eight-step delivery lifecycle and QA sign-off roles, approved by the senior engineering team.

• GIS function. Lead the Digital Engineering team's two-person GIS function, and appointed to Taylor Woodrow's internal Innovation Leader role.

• Extended travel around Europe, relocating to London.

Infrastructure, transport corridors and energy

• Navarre Wind Farm, Australia. Around 400 MW, 100+ turbines, AUD 1.1bn. Geospatial lead for access-road alignments, 2D and 3D mapping and the client geoportal, building a semi-automated multi-software design workflow.

• Wairarapa Line level-crossing upgrades. KiwiRail, NZD 350m. Built the project GIS portal and automated production of hundreds of rail-corridor cross-section drawings for a model-first programme.

• Plimmerton Farm. 1,044-home, 383 ha subdivision, NZD 117m. Semi-automated the export of 700+ drawing sheets in ArcGIS Pro, delivered a client geoportal and scripted earthworks disposal optimisation.

• Arlington Street social housing. 301 homes, NZD 140m. Moved delivery from 2D to 3D by automating 1.5 km of retaining-wall generation in Grasshopper, feeding concrete volumes and embodied-carbon costs into a federated model via Speckle.
