As part of this role, I regularly prepare and submit estimates to the Australian Government for Commonwealth funding, and manage the application of funding caps to the forecast budget.In this role I liaise with the heads of schools, PVC (I&Q) and marketing and external engagement teams and use course data to build a knowledge base around the university's programs that is used to parametrise the model with current trends for preferences, applications and enrolments, taking into account student behaviour within each program. Once the forecast targets have been set, I am also responsible for managing the QTAC offer rounds by adjusting the thresholds through consultation with the Heads of School to achieve the intake targets set for the load model. As an information analyst, the role requires significant collaboration throughout the university. I work closely with Marketing and External Engagements to assess trends, build market intelligence to assess USC’s performance and identify future opportunities, and contribute to the delivery of the University’s strategic and operational planning by providing high quality information, statistics and analysis to stakeholders throughout the university including leadership and executive teams. Additional responsibilities include: building and publishing BI reports, UAT testing for new data warehouse fact tables, building data models and developing tools to performing analyses and provide insights on the full range of data available.

This includes liaising with the departments to extract their business requirements and implement processes and solutions to meet these needs, while also working with various contractors and civil supervisors to strategically prioritise inspection campaigns based on up to date data and in accordance with the organisations strategic plan.I was responsible for the management and operation of the pavement management system, including the predictive modelling of deterioration and generation of future works programs with the input of the civil operations team. This involved transforming and collating the collected road survey data for import, and reviewing and analysing it to produce reports and dashboards to inform the Council and produce the 5 year reseal program. In order to address a requirement for more efficient use of resources in our stormwater inspection campaign, I developed a spatial risk-based model of the stormwater pipe network. This took into account environmental factors, the construction and structural data of the pipe, land usage, and preliminary pipe surveys to identify key hotspots for risk of pipe or pit failure, visualising these risks overlaid as a heat map over the network in order to better prioritise inspection campaigns.I operated as works liaison for the council's Disaster Management Group, and as part of this role I undertook a project to update and implement the disaster information collection process for the National Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements to reflect new legislation and ensure Council would obtain it's correct disaster funding. I went on to present this process at the Technology One user group conference in Sydney in 2017 Show less

I have been involved in all aspects of the Civil Engineering development process, from the initial concept and discussions with the client, the preparation of engineering reports and plans for lodgement with development applications to Council, through to preparation of Construction Certificate plans and then overseeing works to ensure that appropriate construction procedures are being undertaken to result in the best outcome for the client as well as the local community.As an engineer… Show more I have been involved in all aspects of the Civil Engineering development process, from the initial concept and discussions with the client, the preparation of engineering reports and plans for lodgement with development applications to Council, through to preparation of Construction Certificate plans and then overseeing works to ensure that appropriate construction procedures are being undertaken to result in the best outcome for the client as well as the local community.As an engineer with NDC, my areas of development have been extensive, covering all areas of the discipline. I have been trained in using the CivilCAD design software to undertake design of roads and intersections, drainage, sewerage and earthwork profiles, as well as gaining experience in AutoCAD for plan preparation and drafting. In addition to the design software, I have also been trained in the SIDRA Intersection software to undertake traffic modeling, as well as XP-Rafts and MUSIC (Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement), which is used to assess stormwater quality improvements resulting from various treatment devices. I have prepared detailed engineering reports to cover all aspects of the project in accordance with the Australian Standards and local Council regulations. In the process, I have received a lot of experience in developing good relationships with clients, contractors and Council officers and have been able to effectively manage their various needs and expectations, as well as mitigating any conflicts or issues that arise to ensure projects are able to take place as smoothly as possible. I have also been responsible for undertaking frequent site inspections to ensure construction is in accordance with the required documentation, as well as liaising with the contractors and project managers to resolve issues that arise as construction proceeds.
