Senior Contracts Consultant
Cornerstone Contracts Consultants International
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
With 29 years of hands-on experience managing Contracts, Purchase Orders, & Subcontracts from cradle to grave, I have managed a wide variety of different types of contracts including but not limited to Firm Fixed Price, Cost Type, Time & Materials and more. I have procured everything from services and materials to multimillion dollar construction contracts upon which I utilized different regulations including but not limited to the FAR, AIDAR and FIDIC. I spent several years assisting the US Government and a variety of US Government contractors on projects in Iraq and Afghanistan where I managed the procurement for a variety of construction projects and services. Some of the projects that I have supported include multimillion dollar developments that have had major impacts on the principal country and supporting countries.Working with internal auditors, I have also participated in multiple contract audits to ensure the proper paperwork, signatures, approvals and procedures were followed during the lifecycle of the contracts’ performance. Some of the proper paperwork I am referring to include but is not limited to: A fully signed requisition, Market Research, Cost Estimates, RFP/Qs, Bid Tabs, Close Out Docs, etc. I enjoy the negotiations phase and I’ve been known to save my company/organization a lot of money. At the time, I am currently seeking a new opportunity with an organization (Government or Commercial) where I can utilize my skills to support my team. Although I prefer longer-term opportunities, at this point, I also remain open to “interesting” short-term opportunities as well.
