Project Manager, Asset Solutions
Adelaide, Australia
In this position I was responsible for managing a suite of projects from initiation through to concept design and financial approval. Projects I developed included Water Treatment Plant upgrades, water main relays on networks and major pipelines, waste water pumping station upgrades, dam safety investigations, wastewater reuse projects, land management projects and tank replacement and rehabilitation. Development of these projects required me to investigate solutions, identify stakeholder’s requirements, evaluate solutions, manage people and budgets, undertake risk assessments and develop business cases to support capital expenditure on projects, as well as having a thorough knowledge of the SA Water systems and processes for Capital Project Approval, Procurement, OHS management, risk management and environmental management. In developing these projects and undertaking the above tasks I was involved with managing a broad range of stakeholders both within and external to SA Water to negotiate project outcomes to meet the organisations objectives. Stakeholders often have competing views and objectives which need to be assessed and understood to negotiate a successful outcome. A key component of the development process was to understand water and wastewater treatment processes and to map the procurement path projects need to take through the delivery phase of the project.
