Contact Murray Raubenheimer
"The capital investment needed to meet water and energy demand will only increase in scale and pace over the next decade, and ambition alone won’t deliver it. I help organisations turn strategic plans into programmes their teams can execute, connecting capabilities, new delivery models and digital tools to enable more predictable outcomes in an increasingly complex delivery landscape."
Helping water and energy utilities and infrastructure owners plan, develop and deliver major capital investment portfolios across the full project lifecycle in complex regulatory environments.
Murray works with senior leaders in water, energy networks and infrastructure to deliver major capital programmes with confidence. He helps clients strengthen governance and controls, turn project data into decision-ready performance insight, and build the delivery capability needed to scale investment.
His expertise includes delivery readiness and target operating models, PMO and project controls, risk management and capital allocation, and capital delivery models, underpinned by technical engineering expertise. He is known for pairing engineering depth with strategic advice and for embedding delivery capability that stays with client teams.
Impact highlights
- Transformed a £3bn+ major UK transmission owner’s capital portfolio, designing and embedding governance, performance reporting and change management capabilities.
- Led the design and implementation of a project lifecycle framework across a RIIO-T3 capital programme comprising more than 750 projects, standardising delivery execution and introducing progressive governance and assurance controls.
- Strengthened delivery control on an £80m capital transformation programme at a global agrichemicals company, designing risk management and change control capabilities.
- Led the redesign of asset management strategies for critical telecommunications and flexible energy infrastructure operators, using condition-based monitoring and risk-based maintenance planning to prioritise investment and improve capex and opex efficiency.
- Shaped AMP8 delivery readiness for a UK tier-one contractor, advising on the supply chain capabilities and associated delivery models needed to scale its market offering across the water sector.
How Murray works with clients
Capital delivery transformation
Murray helps owners of large capital portfolios strengthen how programmes are governed, controlled and delivered. He designs and embeds portfolio governance, performance reporting, project controls and lifecycle frameworks, helping client teams manage increasing investment with greater consistency and confidence.
Clients typically come to Murray when:
- fragmented data and reporting make it difficult to see how programmes are performing;
- project controls and governance are applied inconsistently; or
- existing delivery models are struggling to scale with increasing programme size.
What clients value: practical frameworks that improve delivery and control, alongside the coaching and capability transfer that enables client teams to sustain them.
Delivery readiness, operating models and supply chain capability
Murray helps asset owners and their supply chains prepare for step-changes in capital investment. He works across project lifecycles, governance, operating and delivery models, and supply chain capability to ensure organisations have the structures and capabilities needed to turn investment plans into deliverable programmes.
Clients typically come to Murray when:
- their investment programme is growing faster than their delivery model, processes and capabilities;
- project lifecycles, stage gates and governance are applied inconsistently across large numbers of projects; or
- they need to understand whether supply chain capacity and delivery models can support their next capital investment programme, such as AMP8 or RIIO-T3.
What clients value: practical engineering judgement, frameworks that stay with the client team, and an understanding of both the owner and supply chain sides of delivery.
Murray helps owners and operators of critical infrastructure make more informed investment decisions across ageing, high-consequence asset bases. He connects asset condition, criticality and consequence of failure with intervention and maintenance planning, helping clients prioritise investment based on risk and value.
Clients typically come to Murray when:
- they have limited visibility of asset condition and risk;
- capital allocation is driven by precedent rather than risk and value; or
- they struggle to evidence trade-offs between cost, performance and risk.
What clients value: a clear, defensible line of sight from asset risk to investment decisions, combining practical engineering judgement with analysis that can be communicated clearly to executives.
