I’m Sean McNeill, a hands-on energy and construction leader with 20+ years’ experience spanning offshore/marine systems, sustainable energy, and offsite construction delivery. I specialise in taking complex concepts from early design through proof-of-concept, de-risking delivery, and building teams that execute.
Strengths;
Concept-to-POC development: turning ideas into validated designs, test plans, and deployable solutions.
Offsite and sustainable construction: MMC delivery, supply chain coordination, compliance, and programme execution.
Energy systems and infrastructure: offshore/coastal environments, integration challenges, and practical deployment.
Commercially-minded technical leadership: scope, risk, cost, and delivery planning that supports funding and customer traction.
Team leadership: building and leading cross-functional teams across engineering, science, operations, and partners.
Selected achievements;
Founded and scaled an MMC/offsite construction business to £1m+ annual turnover, securing £14m in contracts and building a £230m sales pipeline.
Designed, tested, and validated offshore platform concepts with naval architects and marine engineers, progressing from design to sign-off for commercial deployment.
Built and led ventures across renewables (solar, hydrogen, marine systems) and circular bioeconomy products, including regulatory/compliance pathway planning (RED II, ISCC, ISO).
Consistently delivered technical sales and business development outcomes, converting complex requirements into clear proposals and executable delivery plans.
How I help;
I support founders, operators, and investors who need an experienced executive to set technical direction, validate feasibility, strengthen delivery discipline, and lead teams through build, test, and scale—especially in energy, infrastructure, climate-tech, MMC and Prop-techMore...
