BAM Nuttall
senior project manager
Yan graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2004 with a Master’s degree in civil and structural engineering. He began his career in Yorkshire with John Mowlem PLC (later Carillion), working on a range of civil engineering projects before relocating to the South West in 2008.
Following the move, he continued with Carillion, delivering a wide variety of predominantly railway projects across the region. After 12 years, he joined BAM in late 2016 to work closer to home, initially contributing to the Bristol Parkway Capacity Enhancement scheme.
Towards the end of this project, Yan was given the opportunity to lead BAM’s tender for the first phase of the South West Rail Resilience Programme, successfully securing the Marine Parade section in early 2019. This marked the beginning of almost seven years working in Dawlish, delivering three phases of seawall construction and one phase of cliff stabilisation along this iconic and critical stretch of railway.
