Throughout my career, I’ve built a reputation for managing complex projects in high-regulation industries, including nuclear decommissioning and engineering manufacturing. My expertise spans quality assurance, risk management, and cross-functional leadership, with a focus on driving continuous improvement and meeting strict compliance requirements. One of my key achievements includes developing and implementing Inspection Test Plans (ITP) and Quality Plans (QP) to meet rigorous project standards. By monitoring KPIs and identifying risks early, I ensured on-time and on-budget project delivery. Leading the quality management efforts for a nuclear decommissioning project at Sellafield UK, I collaborated with Altrad and EDF to navigate challenges while maintaining high standards for safety and quality. I’ve led cross-functional teams for projects involving product recertification and process improvements, applying methodologies like PPAP, FAI, and FMEA to optimize efficiency and minimize risks. In addition, I’ve utilized Lean principles such as DMAIC, KAIZEN, and KANBAN to drive operational improvements. My approach to risk management integrates tools like 8D problem-solving, Fishbone Analysis, and 5S methodologies, enabling proactive identification and mitigation of risks. I am also passionate about data-driven decision-making, ensuring that performance metrics and audits under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards are regularly tracked and reported to senior management.
