Adrian reflects, “A particularly large and high profile project that I worked on was the National Grid, Overhead Line (OHL) Refurbishment project in North Yorkshire that involved supporting National Grid in providing traffic and transport advice in relation to the ‘full’ fittings replacement of an OHL spanning six local authorities. I was the lead transport planner and key point of contact between the site team and the local highway authorities. I managed the delivery of Traffic Management Plans, PRoW Management Plans and live road space bookings for this infrastructure project. Tasks involved financial management, invoicing and technically reviewing work undertaken by junior personnel. It was a great project to be involved in due to the challenges, learning and professional growth I gained from being a part of it”
