Tom Burns

Tom is a degree-qualified Civil Engineer who has worked for almost 30 years in the construction industry across 2 continents. Tom started his career as a Site Engineer responsible for the dimensional control and resource management on projects, and quickly progressed to positions requiring him to develop people-management skills to support his business success competencies. These skills developed within the challenging environment of project delivery in which Tom successfully built multiple high-performing teams both at project and business level. Testament to this is the low staff turnover he experienced in all roles, and the excellent staff engagement and feedback he received. He continues to act as a mentor to some of the staff he worked with. His passion for achieving only the best outcomes for the business with whom he operates is evident in his successful track record in:

Delivering projects to improved margins, and within allocated time-frames;
Developing his team and his subordinates to step into their next roles - thus expanding the capabilities of the business;
Supporting all team members and colleagues, providing feedback and implementing S.M.A.R.T objectives;
Continually emphasising the importance of appropriate Risk Management in decision-making, and properly considering the potential impacts of mitigation strategies; and
Instilling robust and dependable Contract and commercial management principles to ensure obligations are met, and margins exceeded at the lowest risk of dispute.

With this diversity comes an ability to critically challenge current thinking to validate or amend the approach being taken, thus ensuring that the requirements are being met and exceeded - whether those requirements be the refinement and articulation of a business strategy, improvements in personnel performance, increased robustness in business processes, improved financial outcomes or better overall staff engagement.
