    Hello, I’m Mike O’Malley, a Senior Project Manager working in construction/developemnt in the Public Sector. I lead resdiential, educational and public realm developments ensuring each project is aligned with and delivering on the objectives of the client at all times. I firmly believe that the ‘devil is in the detail’ and each project manager should seek out the detail across each workflow and project and if the effort is deployed at the earliest stages in terms of resourcing, scoping and procurement this will pay dividends at the delivery/implementation stage.

    Community Development Manager at IPM,07 Jan 2026 at 09:01 am

    Hi Mike, great to have you here. Your focus on early-stage detail, scoping, and procurement really resonates. I’m sure your practical approach to early planning will spark great conversations.

    I’m here for the content and I prefer to keep things professional and not share personal details. Thank you for your understanding. 131 characters were not enough, despite the hint for the box, so I added a useless sentence.
