The only way to do great work is to love where you work

Thriving on diverse projects: from securing Oslo's trams to managing Ireland's motorways
I've worked on exciting projects! As a Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety (RAMS) advisor for Oslo's trams in the Rolling Stock division, my role was all about ensuring their reliability, safety, and efficiency. I managed risks, identified hazards, and found ways to lessen those risks. My guidance in developing RAMS strategies, safety assessments, and adhering to safety standards aimed to boost the trams' overall performance and safety.
On the infrastructure side, I’ve been part of a team assisting Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) in managing their motorway network through the four-year MCAAS Project. We're supplying expert road maintenance, design, and supervisory staff, and I've been working on supervision, monitoring, auditing and advisory services. What's incredible is that I collaborate with Atkins' Dublin team while in Oslo, thanks to Atkins' global reach and strong digital communication. This allows us to share information, collaborate in real time, and benefit from each other's expertise and perspectives through modern technology and digital platforms. Working in this way contributes to increased efficiency, stimulates creativity, and fosters a global work culture.
