The workBetween plan and floor

Mobile networks and data centres are designed in slides and delivered in the field. I manage the part in between.

Getting equipment specified, shipped, installed, tested and accepted across dozens of sites and several regions at once — with subcontractors who don't report to me, and dates that don't move.

ServicesThree engagement types

What I do

Multi-region deployment coordination

Running delivery across several regions simultaneously: subcontractor management, resource planning, quality control and client acceptance. Less a technology problem than a dependency problem — and most of the people doing the work answer to someone else.

Interim and programme management

Taking responsibility for a programme that already exists: governance, hiring, reporting to client leadership, and accountability for delivery. Typically needed when a role becomes vacant without warning, or when an established programme has quietly stopped moving.

Process and documentation

Turning what works into something repeatable — installation manuals, procedure documentation, and the automation around them. A programme that depends on specific individuals has a single point of failure nobody has written down.

StandardWritten for the floor

A manual earns its place when it tells someone what to do at 6 a.m. in a cold data hall when what's in the rack doesn't match the drawing.
