When programmes stall, I step in and get delivery moving again

UK-based technical delivery and programme recovery support for safety-critical engineering programmes. I’m typically brought into OEM and Tier-1 teams at short notice when time is tight, responsibility is shared, and progress has quietly slowed — to take ownership of delivery and see it through.

Most of the time, the solution already exists
What’s missing is ownership, coordination, and momentum. I bring calm structure, clear actions, and follow-through — without blame, theatre, or table-banging.

What I bring

  • Clear ownership without ego
  • Calm, focused meetings that lead to action
  • Problems surfaced early — not hidden
  • Momentum restored

Where it fits best

  • Complex, time-critical programme phases
  • Shared responsibility across teams
  • Delivery slipping quietly
  • “We all know the answer… we just can’t land it”
How this works in practice
1) Get the facts
Speak to individuals, collate evidence, and build a grounded understanding — without assumptions or blame.
2) Get the right people talking
Identify stakeholders, chase gaps, and run calm meetings with clear outcomes and live actions.
3) Get delivery back on track
Define ownership, timing and dependencies — then follow through with sensible pressure and tidy reporting.

Hands-on when needed

I’m not a paperwork-only project manager. If keeping a programme moving means supporting test set-ups, chasing parts, generating evidence, or liaising directly with test houses and witnessing agencies — I’ll do it. The priority is delivery, not protecting role boundaries.

Timing is treated as critical

Schedules are managed like reality — not hope. Shortfalls are identified early, parallel activities are planned where possible, and alternatives are proposed before deadlines are missed.

Where I typically help

Vehicle safety & passive safety delivery

Test planning, execution support, reporting, evidence packs.

DVP & verification planning / recovery

Single source of truth, schedule control, risk recovery.

Compliance & readiness tracking

Evidence, documentation, regulatory support, readiness visibility.

Programme delivery in time-critical phases

Unblock issues, align stakeholders, keep momentum.

Fleet & test asset governance

Control, compliance, usage visibility, process uplift.


If you need someone to step in calmly and get results — let’s talk.

Not a sales pitch. Just a quick conversation about where things are stuck and whether I can help.
