2019 construction manager of the year
JOSEPH MCNEIL MCIOB
Sir Robert McAlpine
120 OXFORD STREET, LONDON
Sir Robert McAlpine was offered this job following the failure two weeks after site start of the more competitively priced contractor that had won the tender. Joseph McNeil, though, took on his first role as project manager without any prior knowledge of the scheme amassed during SRM’s previous bid for it.
Joseph mobilised his team and got the early works packages moving. He worked closely with the supply chain and managed to offer improvements on the design team’s proposals. He overcame several substantial challenges to deliver the project on time and on budget.
