Following graduation with a Master of Engineering (MEng) in Chemical Engineering, I began my career with Atkins’ Nuclear and Power business, providing technical advisory services and managing a wide variety of projects, including new build thermal power generation front end development studies, technical due diligence and nuclear and oil and gas safety cases.
In 2011, I pursued my interest in bioenergy with another consultancy, where I soon led the company’s bioenergy team, with responsibility for project delivery, business development and P&L. Projects included feasibility and conceptual design studies for biomass boiler and combined heat and power developments.
In 2013, I returned to Atkins with increased responsibilities, including delivering and managing larger, more complex projects and bids.
In 2018, I joined Atkins’ Nuclear and Power business in the Middle East to deliver power and water projects and grow our presence in the region. I am responsible for technical delivery, project management, business management and business development.
I am a chartered chemical engineer and a member of the Institution of Chemical Engineers. I am also a qualified Energy Saving Opportunities Scheme lead assessor.
Atkins’ Nuclear and Power business in the Middle East provides high value technical advisory services in relation to nuclear, hydrogen, waste to energy, renewables and conventional power projects, to a wide range of clients, including public sector clients such as Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA), Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar), Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC), Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC), Kuwait Authority for Partnership Projects (KAPP), Oman Power and Water Procurement Company (OPWP), as well as private developers such as ACWA Power, Marubeni, Engie and others.
