As Interim Projects Director based in Hong Kong, I took over a flagship project (£21M) to deliver a high capacity post and parcel sortation and handling system.
The project’s first phase was running late and had major technical and commercial problems with the added complexity of a global supply chain for subcontracts, equipment and services. The contracted timescales meant that design, test, construction and commissioning had to substantially overlap.
I planned then drove through the second phase (on a live site), resolving organisational, technical and commercial issues, bringing in the project ahead of schedule by three days on a 25 week programme.
I closed out all technical and commercial issues with the client, obtained final acceptance and all payments.
I closed out all claims with contractors (including Asian), making full and final settlements within budget.
