Mark Armstrong

I have experience working within project controls and project support for large organisations (EDF Energy UK) including experience with SAP, Primavera P6, IMS, and Excel(advanced) using these tools for financial reporting and project planning/schedule monitoring on a daily to monthly basis.
I have dealt with requisitions, downturns, budget shuffles and cost engineering. I have also managed budgets ranging from £50k to £1.3M, including budget control and governance reporting and regularly engagement with stakeholders from Project Managers to International Departmental managers. Many of these projects were supported simultaneously as many as 10-15 at a time.
I have experience and understanding with EVM, Prince 2 methodologies and Project Lifecycle. I have been involved with departmental business planning (5year MTP), ensuring that in-year projects are within sanction, have the correct internal resources allocated and the correct levels of financial governance. I have regularly attended, participated, presented and actioned Project meetings to a high level of competence at many levels of management.
I have experience in the risk aspect of projects with the use of RAID logs in order improve systems currently in use. I also have experience in project planning and qualifications in Primavera, I am also proficient in the use of Microsoft Projects.
Following years of building and successfully maintaining my own business and my more recent experience working in large organisations, I have developed strong skills in liaising with and maintaining good working relationships with a wide variety of professionals, private companies, stakeholders and clients/customers. I have strong problem-solving skills and I constantly seek to underpin my experience with the appropriate qualifications. I am proactive and confident in stimulating process improvement, have an eye for detail and like to get things right first time.
