About

An accomplished Project Director, National Operations Manager and Electrical Engineer with over 25 years of successfully delivering complex multidisciplinary projects. These projects have been across major infrastructure including Utilities, Energy Generation, Rail and Roads in a variety of formats including Alliance, Incentivised Target Cost and Design and Construct programs and projects. I have been a leader in projects or programs that are in hundreds of millions of dollars to billions of dollars. I have delivered both Brownfield and Greenfield projects managing associated risks in the different environments while maintaining an commitment to ensuring Safety and Environmental challenges are managed at all times. As a transformational people leader, I have learnt that major projects teams require the removal of internal silos and the development of clear accountabilities which are measured by outcomes. I have consistently demonstrated the ability to create, mobilise, motivate and manage successful teams. I thrive on the strategic development of the team organisation structure and ensuring the teams success through a commitment to culture and inclusion. I am highly commercially focused and have a strong project management practice, with a track record of exceeding targets and expectations. As the project leader I am accountable and have used a wide range of strategy and project management tools to successfully support the project and organisational development. My experience working client side and as a contractor has enabled me to strategically identify challenges, manage interfaces, both internal and external, and bring all stakeholders together to enable teams and individuals to execute and ultimately deliver outcomes. I have exceptional relationship management skills and pride myself on instigating the appropriate conversations that will lead to a collaborative and open communation within the project. I have a strong down to earth approach to problem solving, and a disciplined approach to analysing challenges and developing an effective integrated solution. I am flexible and open minded, innovative and I encourage the team to challenge and improve on “the norm.” I thoroughly support a “work smarter” matra and strive for a positive work life balance.
