2020 – 2022

Overview

Project managing multiple work packages within a nationally significant cloud migration programme — taking award-winning engineering workflows from desktop to a 3D virtual collaboration environment.

Detail

Recruited to project manage several work packages within the REM 2.0 Enhancements Programme — a Jacobs/Atkins joint venture for Highways England. REM Release 1 had successfully migrated award-winning desktop engineering workflows to a cloud-based service. Release 2 expanded this to create a single 3D virtual collaboration environment, technology-agnostic across the supply chain's varied tech stack, enabling Highways England to exploit data across systems in a single centrally hosted domain for faster, better-informed decisions.
