About Roo Hooshyar:

As an accomplished Associate Director with over 15 years of experience in delivering large-scale multidisciplinary projects, I am seeking a new leadership role that offers fresh challenges and opportunities for growth. Throughout my career, I have excelled in setting up teams and devising effective business strategies that drive project success and ensure positive outcomes for both clients and teams. As the Key Client Manager for one of our major clients, I have won, led and delivered frameworks. 

My expertise in project and design delivery of integrated hubs, including stations and airports, combined with my recent experience in the Nuclear Waste Services programme, has equipped me with a versatile skill set that is transferable across industries. With a strong focus on innovation, sustainability, and user-centred design and build, I am well-versed in building regulations, rail and aerospace standards, BREEAM, Sustainability and environmental requirements. I am a Chartered Engineer, a mentor and a full member of the Association of Project Management (APM).

Experience

As an accomplished Associate Director level specialising in Projects and Design Delivery, Chartered Electrical Engineer and property entrepreneur, I bring a wealth of expertise in project design and delivery, real estate management and real estate profitability. Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated a robust background in project management and coordination, successfully overseeing small, mid-size and large-scale projects

With a robust background spanning over 15 years in engineering, project, and design delivery, I have successfully navigated the complexities of managing multidisciplinary hubs, including stations and airports, with integrated/over structure/adjacent developments such as data centres, retail spaces, office accommodations, and residential blocks. Leading teams of up to 125 professionals, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to oversee the entire project lifecycle, from prospect identification and bidding to planning, delivery, and closeout using RIBA, PCE and GRIP. I have identified risks and successfully led the projects through design reviews and Gateways.

My roles have extended beyond traditional project management, encompassing the critical aspects of contract setup and re-negotiations. I excel in crafting contracts that align with client expectations and project requirements, ensuring clarity and a solid foundation for successful project execution. Furthermore, my expertise extends to adeptly managing stakeholder relationships, recognising their diverse needs and expectations, and fostering effective communication throughout the project lifecycle.

In the identification and management of subcontractors, I bring a strategic approach to building partnerships that enhance project outcomes. Through rigorous evaluation and selection processes, I ensure that subcontractors align with project goals, possess the necessary expertise, and contribute to the overall success of the endeavour. I actively engage in negotiations, fostering collaborative relationships that endure throughout the project.

Being recognised as the Subject Matter Expert for Design and Project Delivery underscores my commitment to excellence. I am the go-to person for both colleagues and clients, leveraging my passion for innovation and sustainable, user-focused, and revolutionary design and build. This commitment is reflected in my hands-on approach to knowledge transfer, where I share insights, skills, and a keen attention to detail to drive success for myself, my team, and the company.

I have attended many leadership training courses and have learned about “The Four Types of Human Behaviour,” allowing me to recognise my personality and identify those around me, providing them with the right tools to deliver success with reduced stress and pressure. As a Chartered Engineer from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) mentor and a full member of the Association for Project Management (APM), I have mentored engineers to gain their Chartered and Incorporated status and become a full member of the APM. 

 

Education

During my four-year Telecommunications Engineering MEng degree at King's College London, I built a strong foundation in the fundamentals of engineering, with a focus on addressing the challenges of the 21st century. The program integrated experimental and practical skills with mathematical and analytical approaches, emphasising project-based design work from the outset.

Key themes of the course included systems thinking, sustainability, modelling and simulation, software and programming, engineering design, engineering management, project management and entrepreneurship. These themes were embedded in the technical modules, which established core scientific and engineering principles across electrical, telecommunications and software programming domains.

In the later years of the degree, I specialised in Telecommunications Engineering. I participated in a group-based project in the third year and completed an individual project in my final year, allowing me to apply my knowledge and skills in practical and collaborative settings.

These experiences have been instrumental in my career as an engineer and a project manager. The emphasis on project-based learning had honed my ability to manage complex projects, work effectively in teams, and apply innovative solutions to real-world problems. My strong foundation in systems thinking and sustainability equips me to approach engineering challenges holistically, ensuring that solutions are efficient and environmentally responsible.

Moreover, my skills in software, programming, and simulation enable me to leverage the latest technological advancements in telecommunications. The focus on engineering design, management, and entrepreneurship has prepared me to lead projects with a strategic mindset, balancing technical requirements with business considerations. This comprehensive skill set positions me well to drive technological innovation and effectively manage engineering projects in a dynamic and rapidly evolving industry.
