Process Engineer

I’m a Chemical Engineer with a proven track record in EHS leadership, process safety management, and capital project delivery across multiple GSK sites in the UK and globally. I’ve led major safety and sustainability initiatives, managed £multi-million engineering projects, and rolled out risk management tools across global manufacturing networks.

My expertise spans PSM, RCA, HAZOP, BowtieXP, and reliability engineering — with a strong focus on embedding safety governance and driving measurable operational improvements. I’ve worked with cross-functional teams, third-party vendors, and senior stakeholders to build high-performing, compliant, and resilient operations.

Certified in NEBOSH, Lean Six Sigma (Green Belt), and PRINCE2®, I’m currently pursuing IChemE Chartership. I bring a versatile, results-focused mindset that translates across pharma, industrial, and high-risk sectors.
