My role manages several distinct teams on the BGIS Department of Defence EMOS contract. They are the services streams of Project Delivery, Project Support Services, Estate Appraisal, and Data Management service. I currently lead a large team to deliver these services and have an excellent relationship with our numerous client representatives from many different branches of Defence.I have managed and improved the relationship with our client to ensure that we benefit from the increase to the EWP, and we were the first EMOS to be issued Projects outside of our contractual boundaries. We now have PM’s in NT, SA, QLD and are looking at opportunities elsewhere. We have increased this team from $18m 4 years ago to forecast over $200m in project delivery in 2021. I have recently designed an innovation for in house data delivery services for our BGIS project delivery services, which will improve the accuracy and timeliness of data being captured, and also save our client, the Department of Defence significant costs to the Estate Works Program. It also provides an additional income stream, and a product that we can onset to other project delivery agents. Our Project Support Services (PSS) provide a service similar to an in-house development management service, overseeing and supporting the significant portfolio of projects being delivered on our Bases. This program is currently expected to be over $500m in project value. Each of these needs to be transitioned into the Defence estate, and meet the requirements of Defence’s HOTO process.Our Data management services team manages the interface between the Defence system GEMS, our own in-house system, and the multitude of changes that occur due to the Projects and asset lifecycle changes. This includes Spatial data updates and management of the Master Site Plans (MSP’s) for each site.
