Gavin Mc Keown is NSWC Network Operations Delivery Manager with Murphy Ireland based at our Grange Hall Offices. 

What do you do at Murphy? 

I am responsible for all CAPEX projects that occur as part of the NSWC contract, from co-ordination of the pricing through mobilisation and construction through to close out.

What do you like most about your role?

I like the gas industry and in particular gas transmission. I like to see the results after a project has been undertaken and that every day is different and brings different challenges.

What has been your biggest challenge at Murphy?

As I transferred over via a TUPE process, the biggest challenge there was maintaining service and works for the client GNI, minimising the downtime between the end of the previous contract and the implementation of the new one.

What attracted you to the construction industry?

Being able to see things progress and develop into something worthwhile.

What is the most rewarding part of your job?

Getting projects closed out and knowing that the client is satisfied with a job well done.

What is your proudest achievement?

Having three healthy children.

What are your career aspirations? 

To do as good a job as I can.

On a typical weekend, what can we expect you to be doing?

Trying to entertain three small children. Otherwise, I like to do some hiking.
