Rivers Trust. I am currently responsible for running four projects, one is for towpath/bank repairs, one

Christmas floods. Total value of these works is £1.45million and they are under NEC3.

Following completion of the South West Water project I was asked to assist the Exeter office on
closing out a flood defence contract for the Environment Agency. My task was to analyse the costs on

lateral thinking to overcome problems and select viable options. I had a high degree of autonomy and
carried out the role of Cost Manger reporting to the Project Controls Manager. My duties involved day
to day cost management, preparing various monthly cost reports, forecasts and models, preparing
estimates and business cases and attending joint customer meetings. I was also responsible for day to
