Dylan Squires

Background

Dylan Squires is a former British Army Royal Engineers Officer with frontline operational experience in risk-critical environments. He holds the Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) qualification — the industry-recognised standard for construction site safety management — and has applied military-grade risk analysis frameworks to the demands of the UK construction sector.

After leaving the Army, Dylan founded RAMSGento solve a problem he encountered directly: construction contractors spending days on manual RAMS documentation that was simultaneously generic, non-compliant, and commercially costly. The platform combines the British Army's Combat Estimate decision-making framework with Generative AI to produce site-specific, CDM 2015-compliant Risk Assessment and Method Statements in minutes.

Expertise

• CDM 2015 compliance — authoring and reviewing RAMS for notifiable projects across civil engineering, groundworks, scaffolding, and specialist trades
• HSE regulatory frameworks — practical application of HSG47, HSG150, the Working at Height Regulations 2005, COSHH 2002, and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
• Safe systems of work — designing and auditing Safe Systems of Work for high-risk activities including confined space entry, lifting operations, hot works, and demolition
• AI in construction safety — applying generative AI to health and safety documentation pipelines while preserving human oversight, expert review, and legal defensibility

Speaking & Industry Engagement

Dylan is an active contributor to the UK construction technology community. He delivered the session “Command & Control: Using the Combat Estimate to Master AI for H&S” at Digital Construction Week 2026, the UK's premier event for digital construction and engineering. The session explored how military decision-making frameworks translate into defensible, AI-augmented safety documentation for civilian construction.

RAMSGen was selected to present to civil engineering contractor members at the CECA Wales Quick Supplier Connect webinar series — a programme run by the Civil Engineering Contractors Association to connect innovative suppliers with Tier 1 civil engineering contractors across Wales.
