Experience

Since 2008, I\'ve played a central role in developing Swinerton’s solar photovoltaic book of work for EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) and O&M (Operations and Maintenance) services. As SRE\'s Business Development Manager, I helped oversee the rapid growth of the Renewable Energy division and led the successful pursuit and capture of over 2GW of PV projects.
