General Background
A highly skilled project planner and programmer whose work has covered a variety of civil infrastrucutre and a diverse range of building construction projects ranging up to and in excess of $350 million in value. Possessing professional qualifications and specialised training in risk management and project planning , I have built a strong insight into construction sequencing and timeframes.

Lastest Positions:

I perform a similar role within Watpac, however my duties now extend to the oversight of all programming carried out by project staff, including mentoring and training, as well as being senior planner/programmer for new business expressions of interest and co-ordinating programming, planning and methodologies for tenders.

I performed detailed programming for tenders and worked closely with a team of six full-time estimators and upwards of eight Project Managers to provide risk-averse planning advice on all tenders. I furnished advice to the construction teams for project- specific challenges and other programming, planning and scheduling requirements.
