01 / WORK & SECTORSTECHNICAL DETAIL. PRACTICAL DELIVERY.
Different environments.
The same delivery mindset.
Explore the sectors I’ve worked in and the part I’ve played. Each snapshot draws on my professional experience.
Showing all 3 sectors.
WATER & WASTEWATERMoving essential
MODULAR HEALTHCARE & CONSTRUCTIONConnecting design,
manufacture and site.
Engineering coordination and team leadership for technically complex modular construction.
INDUSTRIAL & BUILDING SERVICESEngineering the detail.
Supporting the build.
Mechanical design, technical specifications and implementation support across capital works.
02 / HOW I WORKFROM CONCEPT DESIGN THROUGH CONSTRUCTION
Clarity at every stage.
Coordination all the way.
A project changes as it develops. My approach keeps the technical detail connected to the people and decisions that move it forward.
START WITH THE RIGHT QUESTIONSMake the brief clear.
Make the brief clear.
Make the next step practical.
Understand the requirements, define the scope and coordinate the specialist inputs that shape the design. I bring technical, operational and stakeholder needs into the conversation early.
- Scope development & optioneering
- Surveys & ground investigation coordination
- Stakeholder requirements & interfaces
- Early risks, actions & programme priorities
BRING THE DISCIPLINES TOGETHERResolve the interfaces.
Resolve the interfaces.
Keep the design moving.
Coordinate consultants and engineering disciplines, review technical information and challenge solutions for buildability, compliance and whole-life value.
- Multidisciplinary design reviews
- Drawings, models & specifications
- Technical assurance & constructability
- Design programmes & deliverable tracking
TURN DESIGN INTO DELIVERY READINESSConnect the programme.
Connect the programme.
Support informed decisions.
Bring design scope, supplier information and commercial inputs together. I support procurement and target costing, with awareness of NEC principles, early warnings and change processes.
- Procurement scopes & tender support
- Consultant fees & target-cost inputs
- Supplier reviews & technical clarifications
- Risk, change & NEC principles awareness
KEEP THE SOLUTION PRACTICAL ON SITESupport the build.
Support the build.
Close out the detail.
Work with manufacturing and construction teams to resolve technical queries and installation constraints, while coordinating the information needed for completion and handover.
- Manufacturing & installation coordination
- Construction-stage technical queries
- Inspection & quality information
- Completion records & handover readiness
These stages connect and overlap. Collaboration runs through all of them.

04 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME
An engineer’s curiosity.
A delivery mindset.
Jaiyeola Jaiyesimi MIET
Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, UK
I’m a mechanical engineer who enjoys connecting the detail to the bigger picture.
Over seven years, I’ve worked across water, wastewater, modular healthcare, construction and industrial capital works. That experience has shaped a practical, collaborative approach to engineering and project delivery.
Today, I manage multidisciplinary design and project delivery at Farrans Construction within Northumbrian Water’s Living Water Enterprise, bringing consultants, contractors, commercial teams and client stakeholders together.
I’m continuing my professional development towards Chartered Engineer status, with an ongoing focus on project delivery, technical coordination and awareness of NEC principles.
