Background

About James Nicholas

I am an accomplished, results focused Construction Professional. With a diverse industry track record, I bring substantial experience in driving revenues through targeted business development and well executed project delivery. In parallel I create and deliver operational efficiencies and savings across a client centric focused landscape. Recognised for strategic contribution I operate as a trusted contributor in executive leadership forums, committed to deploying critical thinking and providing validated insights aligned to achievement of KPI’s. I consistently demonstrate strong stakeholder management skills when participating in meetings and forums both internally and externally, bringing strong integrity, exceptional relationship management and thoughtful communication skills. I easily adapt to my environment and I thrive in high pressure, complex, and change environments. Recent work within the development sector has provided experience building relationships with utilities, planning and warranty providers. A degree in architecture continues to be an advantage communicating with the design and engineering consultants, understanding and managing coordinated design packages, and a history managing multiple specialist finishing trades to some top London commercial and residential properties has always ensured a quality finish. From a specialist sub-contractor background, there is a wealth of knowledge in the newbuild sector as well as the fabric, restoration, modernisation and alteration of historic listed buildings, such as Harrods, the Treasury Offices, The Old Home Office, the War Office and Unilever House. Systems led, key management positions have been undertaken with the understanding of building an operations system, gaining ISO accreditation and ensuring the continued implementation and review.
