Personal Statement:

“Ever since its inception, I have strived to instill a professional and determined work ethic at SJG Temporary Works from the top down. I am proud to say that, within my company I am surrounded by Directors and Senior Staff who are experts in their relevant fields. This allows SJG to thrive in a competitive and relatively flourishing construction market. Moreover, I have invested heavily in apprentice and graduate schemes in both our engineering and commercial sectors. This has resulted in a young and enthusiastic team that will allow my company and I to go from strength-to-strength with continued professional momentum.”

The Development of SJG Temporary Works Ltd:

As a consequence of his role at Shepherds Construction being made redundant, Simon invested his severance into his own business venture and started his own Temporary Works consultancy company. This decision is one that has been clearly vindicated by the rapid development of SJG Temporary Works Ltd.

SJG’s company growth has been built upon a balance of satisfied clients on project specific work and also from securing numerous consultancy service agreements with several major contractors. Procuring service agreements within the first year of trading not only proves a consistency of quality service, but also an immediate professional trust. Simon works alongside some of the most successful and ambitious construction contactors and professionals in the UK and he is very proud of the client testimonials and referees that are available on request.

Simon has also established himself within the industry as a well recognised Temporary Works training course and awareness CPD facilitator and has trained over 1000 industry professionals within the first two years of trading.

Simon is very proud of the enthusiastic and knowledgeable team of staff he employs and he is confident of not only meeting, but exceeding his initially ambitious 5-year targets.

Previous Career Experience:

August 2008- July‐ 2012 Shepherd Construction Ltd - ‐ Temporary Works Manager

When promoted to the position of Temporary Works Manager within Shepherd’s technical department, Simon reported directly to the Technical director. His role covered much of the same areas as his previous role, but also included day-today management of Shepherd’s large engineering team, which incorporated all Temporary Works Co-Ordinators on site. Within his time in this role Simon worked hand-in-hand with a nationwide HSE specialist to rewrite Shepherds Temporary works procedures. From this Simon proved his in-depth knowledge of British Standard: BS5975 that allowed him to be nominated as “Designated Individual” for the business. Simon’s responsibilities within this role also reached to the management of the Temporary Works supply chain on projects that were valued at up to £350Mil. Management of projects extended to regular appraisals of all subcontractors involved in Temporary Works, directly monitoring performance through KPI’s. Simon was ultimately made redundant from this position in July 2012, due to the closing down of the entire Temporary Works department.

October 2006- August‐ 2008 Shepherd Construction Ltd - ‐ Temporary Works Engineer

Shepherds Construction originally employed Simon in October 2006 as a Temporary Works Advisor in the structures department. This role included the management of project specific Temporary Works, encompassing both on-site, hands-on management and office-based development of scheduling and organisation at tender stage. This role improved Simon’s understanding industry management both commercially in the production of schedules for pricing and for new tenders and practically whilst managing contractors on-site.

Day-to Day Simon was solving Temporary works issues on site, producing design calculations, completing design checks for Subcontractors and was heavily involved in project specific site supervision. Simon was involved in overseeing sites throughout the UK with contract values ranging from £2m to £80m, projects that included all aspects of Temporary Works.

Simon also organised, developed and delivered a Temporary Works Co-Ordinator training course for all levels of staff. The entirety of the department participated, ranging from Construction Directors to site engineers. Simon can attribute his development of managerial skills and responsibilities to this holistic role, which has in-turn led to his rapid career development.

April 2006- October‐ 2006 Goldsmith Engineering services - ‐ Self Employed

Simon used some career space to take time to work as a freelance design engineer and undertook design work for various projects from the Civil and Structural Engineering field.

In his Assistant Engineer role Simon was responsible for the setting out and monitoring the deviation of all jet grout columns and CFA piles. From which he was to produce full result report for his superiors and Senior Engineers.
