Mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and civil packages carry real consequences when they go wrong. Twenty years of delivery in nuclear, water and industrial fabrication, applied to your project.
My career has been spent managing multi-discipline projects at organisations such as Sellafield Ltd and National Nuclear Laboratories, and at specialist fabricators delivering into nuclear, oil and gas, chemical processing and manufacturing. That gives me first-hand understanding of what it takes to deliver MEICA scopes safely, on programme and in full compliance with client and regulatory requirements.
I have led projects from optioneering and business case through design, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover, and have managed teams of project managers and planners across multiple sites. I have also worked on process equipment and production lines, from individual plant items through to complete process installations.
Studies, option appraisal and the business case needed to secure sanction.
Coordinating design across disciplines, with design reviews to check packages are complete.
NEC3 and NEC4: early warnings, compensation events and change control.
Schedules built and managed in P6 Primavera and Microsoft Project, with resource and interface planning.
Spend forecasts, earned value reports and clear client presentations.
Risk registers, HAZOPs, method statements and readiness reviews.
Site set-up, installation oversight, testing and problem solving as the work happens.
Commissioning plans, rectification and handing the installation back to the operator.
Projects that reduce risk on operating plant, planned around safety, stakeholders and tight installation windows.
Scheduled maintenance planned and delivered to keep plant safe, reliable and available.
Shutdowns and outages planned and controlled to a fixed window, with minimal lost production.
Refurbishment of existing plant and buildings, from targeted upgrades to major works.
New plant and process installations delivered from concept through to commissioning.
Upgrading equipment to improve performance, reliability, safety or capacity.
Rapid response to failures, with the work planned, safely controlled and returned to service quickly.
Repairing or replacing ageing and unsupported equipment before it becomes a risk to operations.
Robin Croft Project Management is not ISO accredited, but every project is run under an Integrated Management System designed to mirror the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001. It gives clients a structured, auditable approach to quality, health and safety, and environmental control.
The system is aligned with BS EN ISO 9001:2015, BS ISO 45001:2018 and BS EN ISO 14001:2015 and is reviewed internally on a regular cycle.
Documented procedures from enquiry and contract review through to document control, with client feedback reviewed.
Risk assessments, method statements and site visit reports, with CDM-aware working on every site.
Environmental aspects assessed and managed, with suppliers and subcontractors encouraged to do the same.
Internal audits, management reviews, training records and lessons learned captured at project close-out.
Capital projects and hazard-reduction works on licensed sites, including regulator engagement.
Treatment works projects spanning groundworks, electrical and mechanical installation and commissioning.
Large fabrication and installation projects across oil and gas, chemical, manufacturing and agriculture.
I have administered NEC3 and NEC4 contracts, including early warnings, compensation events, change control and client negotiations.
Yes. I have led projects through every stage: studies and optioneering, business case, estimating, design, construction, commissioning and handover.
Not currently. My Integrated Management System is designed to mirror the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001, so quality, safety and environmental control follow a structured, auditable process.
Yes, extensively. That includes nuclear sites and working with regulators and independent inspectors as part of the project team.
Yes. I can take on the full project, a defined work package, or provide interim project management cover.
Send over the scope, sector and rough timescale and I will come back with how I can help deliver it.
