Matthew Ryan (MEng, ACGI, CMI)

I am an Engineering manager with a background in military and public sector, working in project management, resourcing and multidisciplinary engineering delivery. Founder of Fossil Works Projects. I hold a Masters Degree in Design Engineering from Imperial College London and passed out of the Defence Technical Officer Entry Scheme (DTOES). In addition, I founded and now sit as Director of Fossil Works Projects Ltd.

 

After passing Army Officer Selection in 2016, I have pursued a career as both an engineer and a leader. I promoted above my peers in reflection of my leadership skills, work ethic and personal drive. During my time I received awards from external bodies as well as formal military commendations. 

​

After seven years in the military, I left the army, and took my experience and skillset into civilian engineering management. I have spent the last two years managing capability pools of 500 civil engineers, project engineers and asset strategists at TfL, and now sit as the Senior Engineering Leader for Business Engineering. I oversee a portfolio of hundreds of engineering projects tasked with up to £90million of efficiencies across the London Underground, with my direct reports working across rolling stock, signalling, environmental and process engineering projects. 

 

Through my work, I have had the opportunity to prove myself in a variety of subjects, with chosen specialisms in:

​

• Computer Aided Design and Manufacture

  • Finite Element Analysis

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics

  • Automation & Mass Customisation
     

• Sustainable Engineering

  • Material Engineering​

  • Additive Manufacture Engineering

  • Sustainable Electrical Systems / Net Zero
     

• Engineering Management

  • Engineering Optimisation

  • Asset Management

  • Resourcing and Strategic
