Richard is an experienced Civil Engineer and Project Manager within the construction industry. He is currently the Operation Manager for Sisk-Steconfer joint venture on the Luas BXD_400 Light Rail project. Why I pursued IPMA Certification? I have spent over 20 years working in the construction industry, with over 10 of those years in a project management capacity. The achievement of the IPMA Level B – Certified Senior Project Manager was important to me, in that it helped me to evaluate, reinforce and enhance existing project management practices that were not aligned with a formal project management methodology. In addition, it has provided me with the knowledge to develop and continuously improve fully integrated project management systems, processes and tools that are effective on complex projects, as well as the credibility to lead on their implementation and roll-out. I also believe the attainment of this qualification will resonate with prospective clients for projects where I am the proposed project manager.
