Senior Project Manager

About Me

A dedicated Senior Project Manager and Civil Engineer with more than a decade of experience delivering complex infrastructure and energy projects in the UK and Greece. Starting in civil/structural engineering and progressing into project leadership, Anastasia manages programmes end-to-end—shaping scope and strategy, aligning multi-disciplinary teams, and safeguarding time, cost, and quality. She brings deep commercial acumen to delivery, including procurement strategy, change control, and contract administration under NEC/JCT, supported by clear reporting and risk management. Her professional track record includes major public-sector and regulated clients, with recent work across energy transition and large civils (tunnels, rail, marine). She chairs progress and commercial meetings, provide concise dashboards to senior leadership/Boards, and build trusted, long-standing relationships with clients, partners, and suppliers. Colleagues know her for structured thinking, calm execution under pressure, and a collaborative style that unblocks decisions and accelerates outcomes. Beyond delivery, she is keen contributing to the profession through STEM engagement and initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion—helping broaden access to engineering careers and bring different voices to the table.
