TESTIMONIALS
“The QA Team under Keith’s management have worked tirelessly in achieving their goal of providing the related documentation in the composition, compilation and on time to fulfil and satisfy the client’s directives. To a man they have conducted themselves in a professional, congenial manner and approached their given workload with a sense of conscientious urgency.
Their continual assistance, collaboration and support has been a fundamental ingredient in the delivery of a challenging project.”
“Keith is motivated and forward thinking with lots of knowledge in his field and leads a highly motivated team. His hands-on approach, enthusiasm and being an inspiring team leader won him the respect of not only the team but also the client.
In my experience Keith and the team consistently met and often exceeded key date deliverables and therefore earn my highest recommendation.”
“During his time with the [Paddington Station – Elizabeth Line] project, Keith was responsible for the planning and execution of all Quality Assurance and Commissioning activities carried out by the various installation and specialist contractors. He performed this role with a high degree of professionalism, good technical expertise and in a manner that allowed him to develop effective relationships with all those who worked with him.
I worked with Keith at the Paddington Station – Elizabeth Line Project from December 17 to August 19 where we were met with a task of throwing away the idea of “it will be alright in the end” and restarting the Quality Assurance and Commissioning programmes. It soon became quite apparent Keith had some brilliant ideas across all the different disciplines and put them to work for an all discipline team successful conclusion and it was a pleasure being part of his team.”
“Keith put a system in place to manage the Quality Assurance for the Paddington Project, he managed not only the system but a large team of QA Engineers, delivering a high-quality end product, which was recognised by the client, to such an extent that he was invited to Bond Street to bring his system and team to deliver there too.”
“When I re-joined the team, Keith was already an established and valued member of the MEPH family. During my time at C405 Keith was fundamental to the formation of the IQAT (Integrated Quality Assurance Team), its implementation and the success it drove in the delivery of MEPH. An inspirational and driven person who leads by example, he engages and resolves the most difficult of situations with great confidence and dedication to delivery.”
TIM NEWPORT, HS2 QUALITY LEAD“I had the pleasure of working with Mr Keith McDaid as a Commissioning Manager at Paddington Station – Elizabeth Line from 2017 until 2019 where Keith was heading up approximately 30 assurance engineers who in turn were interfacing with myself to coordinate and handover packages of work through the IRN process to hand back to the client.
Keith is technically very competent and was instrumental in the early identification of design, scope and assurance deficiencies, proposing solutions in time to meet the construction team’s needs. Keith’s previous background experience of testing, commissioning and assurance processes had also proved invaluable as he led the assurance activities with due diligence and always with the final handover stage fully considered and objectives met.
I would not hesitate to work with Keith again in any future team or involvement.”
