ABOUT MATT SCHOFIELD

With 15 years in rail and 3 years in construction, I’ve built a strong reputation as a proven leader across multiple sectors – including engineering, aviation, and infrastructure. My career began with an Advanced Modern Apprenticeship in Aircraft Engineering during my time in HM Royal Air Force, where I developed a deep technical foundation alongside the values of precision, discipline, and resilience – qualities that continue to shape my leadership approach.I’m an emotionally intelligent leader who balances accountability with empathy. I’m known for creating high-trust environments where people feel supported, challenged, and empowered to do their best work. Whether leading operational delivery, driving business change, or navigating tight regulatory frameworks, I bring clarity, consistency, and a calm head.From aircraft hangars to rolling stock maintenance depots to residential new builds, I’ve led people and projects with integrity and energy. I value process, but I thrive on solving problems and unlocking potential – in people, in plans, and in partnerships.I’m always keen to connect with like-minded professionals and explore future opportunities where I can bring impact, insight, and leadership that lasts.Let’s connect.
