Founder · Chartered Construction Manager

Fiachra is one of the youngest Chartered Members of the CIOB in the world, and still on site every week. He is now a Contracts Manager at P&A Contracts, working in a new Main Contracts division across multiple live projects.

He has worked his way up through every level of site and project delivery. He started as a Contracts Apprentice on a £15m hospital scheme, then moved to Assistant Site Manager on a £38m academy build and Assistant Project Manager on a £7m college project under an NEC3 contract. As Project Manager, he took on the challenge of building and running an entire construction division from the ground up, setting up the systems, team and processes that turned it into a working business while delivering multiple live projects from £650k to £2.5m.

Business Process Analysis & Optimisation · Electrical Procurement

Conal's main focus is business process analysis and optimisation. He maps how work really flows through procurement, construction projects and between departments, using AS-IS and TO-BE process mapping (BPMN). He then finds the bottlenecks and puts better processes, KPIs, SOPs and approval workflows in place. He has turned business needs into clear requirements for a new purchasing system, then rolled it out with staff training and commercial reporting dashboards. He focuses on getting teams to adopt new ways of working.

He also provides technical electrical procurement, supply chain and electrical estimating assistance. He has 7+ years of experience in purchasing, procurement, stock control and management, with hands-on knowledge of how procurement supports every stage of a project, from estimating and tendering through design, site operations, commissioning and handover. He has led electrical procurement for European data centre projects, coordinating with site teams in Frankfurt, Amsterdam and the UK. He has also managed end-to-end procurement of major plant and specialist packages on large MEP projects, with M&E packages up to £150m.

Conal is always learning how AI can help construction companies and contractors day to day. That ranges from building new systems and adding AI to automated workflows, to putting it to work in each department to increase productivity.
