Engineering Standards Specialist


Writing standards is what I do every day and do well.



Engineering standards are probably utility's most critical assets, setting requirements for all repetitive tasks. Developing standards that really work is tough, tedious and takes time, but opens the gateway to reliable asset data with endless AI opportunities.


Most engineering documents are not understood or followed, which I think is a tragedy. Documents are often written by engineers who aren't expert writers or expert writers that aren't engineers.


I am both an excellent Writer and Engineer, bridging this critical gap. I'll run the marathon for your organisation and successfully deliver your critical standards so you can get on with your day job. 


I look forward to working with you.
