Curriculum Vitae For

William Spragg CEng BTech MIET

(Call me Bill Spragg)

 

Professional Profile

 

I am a mature chartered engineer with a long and successful career in the pharmaceutical industry. Maintenance management is my major field of experience. I have led and influenced many Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) projects with highly complex software such as Maximo. I have also helped companies review and improve their maintenance operations and develop maintenance policies and strategies. I was part of the team that helped my employer of the time achieve an AMIS World Class Maintenance Award.

Career experience also includes: work study, project management, production planning, computerised system validation (CSV) and equipment qualification (IQ and OQ).

I have recently qualified as an accredited Energy Assessor for commercial and industrial buildings. My long and deep experience of industrial plant maintenance and asset life cycle records enables me to bring an extra dimension to the role of the energy assessments.

I am a strong advocate of the principle that lifetime ownership of an asset and how to minimize its cost whilst maximising its output and energy efficiency is an important and professionally challenging opportunity.
