Project & Programme Management for Civil and Environmental Infrastructure
Strategic oversight and hands-on management of large-scale civil and environmental projects — on schedule, within budget and with sustainability compliance at every milestone.
- Programme management
- Schedule & cost control
- Stakeholder coordination
- EHS compliance
Project Management — overview
Large infrastructure programmes involve many contractors, regulators and stakeholders. Without strong management, schedules slip, budgets grow and environmental obligations are missed.
I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Project Management and have managed civil and environmental programmes in India, the GCC and Mauritius. On a multi-phase coastal infrastructure programme in Mauritius I coordinated 6+ organisations and delivered on schedule and within budget, with no major environmental incidents and regulatory sign-off at every phase gate.
When to engage me
- You are launching a multi-phase civil or environmental programme
- You need independent project or programme management
- A project is slipping on time, cost or compliance
- You need environmental monitoring and reporting built into delivery

Gate criteria
Agreed at the start
Sustainability at every milestone
With decades of waste and environmental experience, I build environmental monitoring and regulatory sign-off into the programme itself — as on the Mauritius coastal programme delivered with no major environmental incidents.
