As project manager, he can go from big picture to granular detail and deliver a solution that considers all of his clients’ needs. As he says, sometimes finding the best solution is as simple as looking at things a little differently.

“Sometimes a client will come to us with a pre-engineered solution that we know is not going to deliver the best outcome,” says Nigel. “We understand that there is another solution at half the cost and half the effort. Sometimes it can reduce the installation cost significantly by doing things a little bit differently. Often, we’ll give non-conforming tenders and non-conforming items because, based on our experience, we know our solution will deliver a better outcome.”

For Nigel, the key to delivering the best solution for his clients boils down to integration. The best hardware in the world won’t help his clients achieve their goals if the integration doesn’t work. PSA Engineering offers turnkey and full lifecycle service, and as Nigel explains, this means nothing falls through the gaps.

“PSA Engineering can go from feed right through to manufacturing and install; we cover the whole lifecycle,” says Nigel. “And the value comes in terms of both efficiency and cost. Having one team working across the project provides seamless continuity and can considerably reduce the costs. And if there are any adjustments or any issues, you know, we’re always here to help you out.”

When the project allows it, Nigel still loves to take the opportunity to work on the tools. But most of all he loves the challenge of breakdowns. Even with all his years of experience, he enjoys the fact that these high pressure environments still test his technical skills.

“I really enjoy the pressure that comes when the alarm goes down, and you know that every minute counts. I like finding the solutions, the hands-on work, the calibration and all that high-level technical specialisation.”
