Roger Gough

Operations Manager

Operations Department

I have worked for G&H Technical Services Ltd for over 10 years, starting as a site technician, testing soils, aggregates, concrete, but mostly asphalt. This has also involved working on the production side in plants supplying aggregates and asphalt, mostly with the testing of these products. For the last 6 years, I have been working for G&H in the role of Operations Manager.

As Operations Manager, I am responsible for organising the work that we cover. This will involve consulting with our client base to arrange and agree upon testing procedures and tasks that are required on schemes and shifts, and then conveying those instructions to the relevant staff who will be assigned to cover that work.

Maciej Jaworski

Quality Manager

Quality & Compliance

With nearly twenty years of experience in civil engineering, I have had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, from small-scale investigations and earthworks to large infrastructure developments such as highways and railways, across various roles. My experience includes working as a technician in both permanent and site laboratories, and I enjoyed the hands-on role of a site technician. Over the years, I advanced from a technician to a senior technician, then to an engineer, and ultimately to a Quality Manager position.

My responsibilities include overseeing the upkeep of UKAS accreditation and ensuring the proper maintenance of the QMS. I assist the team with technical issues and actively contribute to research and development initiatives.

Projects I have worked on have been the Channel Tunnel, the Medway Tunnel, Heathrow, Stansted and Gatwick airports, plus various BAA projects.

I currently take job bookings from Clients, then allocate technicians to these projects to produce testing reports for soils and asphalt then issue the reports to the Clients. I conduct equipment calibration, train new field technicians.
