3.0 Professional Review, 1999 to Present Transco/NGT plc
4.0 Career Progression
4.1 1999 to 2001 Graduate Engineer (BG plc)
[1] The BG Group plc Graduate Development scheme comprised of a twenty-four
month IGEM accredited technical training programme. There were thirteen prime
objectives that contributed toward chartered status. Interwoven into the technical
programme was an eighteen-month generic scheme including, performance
management, interpersonal skills, team working, financial control and economics.
Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers
Page viii Professional Review
[2] The scheme included technical and management placements in business units,
self-study work and formal and informal training. The technical placements
provide opportunities to work directly with ‘industrial staff teams’. These team
projects included, policy replacement, low and high-pressure maintenance, gas
escape response and classification and subsequent repair.
For example, on a 24” ‘enforced diversion’ in Coventry, I participated in the
physical installation of a double Iris stop.
[3] My management placements focused on applied information systems.
For example I implemented a data capture solution to the Working Time Directive
Regulations within the framework of the Data Protection Act. I also wrote
innovative local procedures for managing waste streams as part of the ISO 14001
management system. The procedural tool I used was a database that monitored
full containers rather than individual waste items. Both projects involved a
structure of staff training and the communication of best practice. All projects
provided valuable experience and formed part of my mentor monthly reviews.

Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers
Page ix Professional Review
[1] From the start of the programme I became an active member of the IGEM
Midlands district section. I took the opportunity to prepare and present a
technical paper for the ‘IGEM Young Engineer of Year Competition’ titled, “One
Man Down One to Go”. The paper outlined the construction and mechanical
workings of the M.A.N. waterless gasholder. It detailed the advantages and
disadvantages of a M.A.N. compared to the ‘water sealed vessels’. It concluded
with a resume of the demolition process used to demolish the M.A.N. holder at
Swan Village, West Bromwich; I went on to win the Competition.
[2] I was also privileged to win a travel scholarship to the World Gas Conference in
Hong Kong, based on a paper I submitted on IGEM “Venturing into the New
Millennium”. The scholarship to the Far East gave me the opportunity to meet and
exchange ideas with engineers from other countries and observe the application
of gas infrastructure in Hong Kong and China. Consequently I have a high regard
for the benefits of researching and presenting papers and actively encourage
young graduates to do the same.
4.2 2001 to 2002 Network Officer ~ Construction (Transco)
[1] I joined the team during a particularly active period; consequently I was fully
involved with all aspects of the work from day one. This specifically included
financial control, procurement and logistics, site supervision of multi-disciplined
staff and contractors and project closeout. I was able to work closely with and
learn from experienced engineers and managers. Much of my work at this time
required me to define the envelope of work and review subsequent tender
evaluations for the technical and non-technical services. This gave me the
experience required to identify and source resources in order to complete an
activity. I became fully involved in the physical works on site, G17 (IGE/GL5)
submissions and writing and carrying out LP, MP & HP non-routine procedures.
Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers
Page x Professional Review
Typically, decommissioning, re-commissioning of pressure reduction installations,
under pressure work and the installation of new pipework.
[2] Three of the projects during this time were:-
Re-validation works on the 36” Barlaston to Milwich HP pipeline (£2.65M)
Five HP Diversions as part of the Bnrr (Birmingham Northern Relief Road £1.2M).
High Pressure - Pressure reduction installation Re-build (£375K)
[3] On completion of these projects I initiated and managed a workshop to review
and evaluate the teams performance. Findings were used to inform strategy for
the next period of work. As part of the workshop I facilitated two S.W.O.T.’s, one
of the team and one of our activities. This identified skills gaps and process
development opportunities. I devised an action plans and co-ordinated work
groups with specific tasks to develop solutions and improvements.
[4] Financial control and forecasting was identified as a critical factor. Therefore I
developed and implemented a software solution, which managed forecasting,
[1] budgeting and financial reporting. This enabled individual engineers to take
responsibility for financial control of their projects. This I believe had a significant
impact on improving the business relationship between my team and our
stakeholders by improving the efficiency and consistency of our forecasting.
[2] My financial solution and procedures were successful in satisfying the external
scrutiny of the auditors sent to us by CAMMBA for the financial sign off for the
Bnrr works. This was pleasing as I had responsibility for the financial control of
our phase of the project.
Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers
Page xi Professional Review
[3] When I joined the team major project design was outsourced to specialist
outfits. I identified the need for the team to be able to complete conceptual
drawings for scope work and G17 (IGE/GL5) design modification submissions.
Having previously worked in an engineering design company prior to National
Grid Transco I was able to develop a bespoke solution. This included design
registers to manage records, standard drawing templates and component and
part libraries. I took the solution a step further and developed a suite of template
documents to be used for design, scope of works and modification submissions.
The full solution improved efficiency, consistency and quality and became
recognised as best practice. I also become the co-ordinator for the application of
IGE/GL5 across the Network for all maintenance activities.
[4] Within the Network structure the construction team were aligned to the
mechanical workshop. The facility provided fabrication, repair and revalidation
services for high and low pressure pipework, water bath heater tube bundles and
heat exchangers. This gave me the opportunity to work closely with the team and
develop my knowledge of mechanical fabrication and subsequent non-destructive
testing. Including weld inspection, hydrostatic and pneumatic testing.
[1] During my time with the pressure testing engineers I developed a package that
streamlined the PT5 and PT1 pressure testing process. The bespoke package
recorded the results of the test during pressurisation and monitoring and
automatically generated the pressure test report for the test piece, a bottleneck
in the current process. The package reduced the time taken to produced the
report by 80% and introduced a consistent quality document. The improvement
in the process came just in time for the national water bath heater programme.
Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers
Page xii Professional Review
[2] As this was my first substantive role I was given the opportunity to participate
in the emergency standby cover required across the Network. I was part of a one
in five cover as first call engineer for industrial and commercial, pre-heat and
gasholders. Prior to starting my first cover I made arrangements to spend time
with all the teams day to day to get to know the individuals and expand my
knowledge of their activities.
[3] I had the benefit of being supported by very experienced craftsman, resulting
in a concentrated but comfortable learning environment. One of my more intense
periods resulted in completing an emergency repair on a modular pre-heating
system; the repair involved the sealing a cracked fire tube in order to maintain
functionality. I subsequently had to complete a retrospective design and G17
(IGE/GL5) submission for approval.
[4] In 2002 I joined the National Engineering Graduate Development Working
Group. Its remit was to assist engineering graduates to develop their engineering
skills and to address the migration of engineers from the core discipline. The
output of the group established a structured guidance document to aid
progression and a framework against which an engineer could be objectively
measured and subsequently rewarded.
[1] I worked closely with technical training and defined the structured document
that presented a best practice approach to business placements including content
and duration. The next step was developing a competency and experience
framework to measure and reward the individuals. This involved liaison and sign
off from Human Resources, Pay role, the Director of Safety and Engineering and
the Chief Executive Officer. The project was successfully implemented.
Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers
Page xiii Professional Review
4.3 2002 to 2003 Network Operations Manager ~ Special Projects (NGT)
[2] Initial responsibilities included the role of single point of contact for the
enabling works and subsequent demolition of two column guided water sealed
gasholders on a top tier COMAH site.
[3] In order to remove the holders the site needed substantial rationalisation and
as authorising engineer I was responsible for preparing and completing a number
of complex non-routine operations. These included flow stopping, purging,
pipework and equipment removal and large diameter tie-ins of all pressure tiers.
All completed against strict timescales in order for the demolition works to start
on schedule.
[4] During the planning process I liaised with the appointed contractors in order to
review and develop working practices in line with internal policies and procedures
and the Construction Design and Management (CDM) regulations. The two
holders were sited in a low point on the landscape, which was further
complicated, by the proximity and height of the surrounding buildings.

Fig2. New Purging Methodology [1] Therefore methods, as described in IGE/SR/22 were not directly applicable. The
new methodology was based on a review and challenge and resulted in the use of
one of the hollow columns as a 45-meter purge pipe. I designed and installed the
grip attachments that were subsequently used to complete the purge.
[2] Following completion of the holder project the role developed into interface
manager between Network Maintenance and our primary stakeholder. This was
achieved through regular meetings, which reviewed performance against defined
Service Provider Agreements (SPA’s). The SPA’s included maintenance, training,
construction works, health and safety, special projects and the management of
Ad-hoc work requests. During this period I developed new practices, which
improved the consistency and efficiency of the control measures used to monitor
performance and delivery. The role also involved preparation for the financial
review. This included budgetary submissions, for capital, operating, replacement
expenditure and the compilation of financial information, which was used to
justify maintenance activities.
Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers
Page xv Professional Review
[3] Toward the end of this period I was responsible for managing the standby rota.
The completed rota highlighted a number of skills gaps and training needs,
[1] specifically with regards to support for pre-heat. To address this I developed a
course to close the gaps. I defined the content, created the training package
completed the delivery and assessments of the necessary staff. Before
implementing I secured the support of the trade union. The training package was
presented on site and combined practical and theoretical material. Recently the
package has been used as a benchmark to deliver a similar course on Gasholder
Antifreeze systems.
4.4 2003 to 2004 Network Operations Manager ~ Pressure Management (NGT)
[2] In April 2003 I assumed the duty of a Pressure Management Network
Operations role accountable for the day to day running of a geographical sector.
[3] In outline my responsibilities were for the planned and unplanned maintenance
and repair of high-pressure reduction installations, holder stations, industrial and
district governor stations and gas conditioning apparatus. I was accountable for
defining and managing the sector Capital and Revenue expenditure budgets. The
experience I had gained in the construction department significantly help when
forecasting, preparing and submitting business case for ad-hoc spend.
[4] I managed seventeen direct staff, two technical, twelve governor craftsman,
one adult recruit and two apprentices. Responsibility for direct reports for the first
time came with associated requirements and challenges. Monthly team
compliance briefs were always active and safety audits and quality workplace
inspections were full of discussion.
Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers
Page xvi Professional Review
[5] Staff performance and target setting were central to the delivery of the
required workload. I completed staff performance reviews on both a formal and
informal guise. I used a review and challenge technique to encourage full
[1] involvement in the process. Working closely with my staff and industrial staff
has ensured high performance, zero outstanding maintenance and full
compliance. The responsibility for full compliance with Codes of Practice, Field
Procedures and legislation significantly increased my knowledge of related
Standards and Operating Procedures for example the Pressure Systems Safety
Regulations.
[2] In addition to the performance and compliance of the team I was also
accountable for their development. This involved ensuring they were more
effective in current roles and acquired the relevant skills for future workloads. I
adapted a method used during my mentor meetings to highlight development
opportunities as part of the review. I was finally responsible for the update and
signoff of my staff and industrial staff’s safety and technical competencies.
[3] I was responsible for the key development of my adult recruit and apprentices.
I defined and co-orientated a review framework in my sector for the appraisal of
their progress. This involved mapping their training requirements against the
framework and defining a formal procedure to manage the process. The process
recorded current progress and formally set mutually agreed targets to be
achieved by the next review. I was particularly pleased with the results, as were
the business, and as a result the process was adopted as best practice across all
sectors.
Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers
Page xvii Professional Review
[4] During my time in the role I pioneered the development of the industrial safety
representative role within the section with very successful results. Communication
channels were greatly improved near miss reporting increased and the attitude to
safety of the whole sector increased. The group, my two safety representatives
and myself met bi-weekly to discuss and action health and safety issues within
the sector. The team developed best practice approaches to site safety audits,
[1] information reporting and formal review on progressed and actioned items.
The complied performance document was fed back to the network operations
management forum (NOMF), which I went on to chair. Attended by the
Operations Managers, Safety Representatives and Senior Shop Stewards, the
purpose of the forum was to discuss and action any issues relating to the Network
and specifically the Industrial Staff. Chairing the NOMF gave me the opportunity
to develop my negotiating skills, build upon trade union relations and have a
direct positive impact upon the working team. This was acknowledged by the
business and as a result I have presented issues at the LJIC on behalf of the
sector.
[2] In addition to the planned and unplanned maintenance activities I was also
responsible, as Authorising Engineer for any works being undertaken on any of
my sites. The role involved the application of the safe control of operation
procedures, reviewing method statements and risk assessment to ensure the
proposed method covered all operational, safety and environmental eventualities.
Once satisfied with the defined controls, as with the Nechells holder demolition
project, I was responsible for the issue of permitry as authorisation for works to
commence. In order to achieve Authorising Engineer status I had to compile a
pack that included all relevant information to prove competency, the document I
submitted was adopted as best practice and was used as a template for all
subsequent submissions.
Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers
Page xviii Professional Review
[3] During my career I have continued to fully support the Midlands Section of
IGEM and in April 2003 I prepared and presented my second technical paper at a
district section meeting. Having worked on the final revalidation works of the
Barlaston to Milwich Pipeline as a network officer, I research and prepared a
paper on Stress Management in High Pressure Pipelines.
Fig 3. Stress Results on HP Pipeline (Highlighting Critical Areas)
[1] The paper presented the cause and effects of ground movement from mining
on pipeline loading and reviewed the techniques applied in order to mitigate the
resultant stresses. The final section of the paper described the application of the
work I had completed during my time as a Network Officer in Construction. The
paper was recently short-listed and submitted for the IGEM Silver Medal Award.
[2] In July 2003 I led the implementation of phase one of the Network Maintenance
Mobile Asset Repository Solution, (MARS). This initially involved the delivery of a
training package to selected Industrial staff. The content of the course took the
attendees through the use of the new GoBook laptop through to using e-mail,
word processing, GPRS and completing the asset data capture database. Due to
the varying skills levels in the group and a reluctance to embrace new technology
the course tested my communication and delivery skills to the limit in order to
ensure a quality package. Feedback questionnaires from the course highlighted
the highest possible marks for the programme. The subsequent step involved the
physical asset data capture and equipment validation, with over three thousand
Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers

sites to visit, the task required significant attention to ensure targets were
delivered.
[3] Managing a geographic sector did not exclude me from special project work.
For this reason, I recently managed a 36” High Pressure Valve replacement
project on a Transmission Station.
[1] The project included the initial conception work and generation of the business
case for expenditure authorisation.
Fig 4. Design Submission
[2] I subsequently produced the scope of works for the invitation to tender and
created the G17 (IGE/GL5) design submission. I also took the opportunity to
create and own the health and safety plan as part of the Construction, Design and
Management Regulations (CDM) for the Planning and Construction. Finally I was
involved in the non-routine procedures as competent person to decommission
and re-commission the pipeline in order to complete the modification works and
return the line to full operation.
4.5 2004 to Present – MARS Implementation Manager – Next Steps
[3] Having been involved in the rollout of Phase 1, I have recently been appointed
as implementation manager for West Midlands for the second phase. The role
involves defining the strategy and executing the final solution into the business.
This has included planning training delivery, resource allocation and the
interfacing with internal and external stakeholders to ensure sign off.
