Marcus Wood Work Experience Details
  • Ortech Industries
    Business Development Manager
    Ortech Industries Jan 2022 - Present
    Unit 18, 1-7 Canterbury Road, Braeside Vic 3195 Australia
  • Ausmart International (Commercial Fixtures & Fittings - Retail)
    Key Account Project Manager
    Ausmart International (Commercial Fixtures & Fittings - Retail) Sep 2020 - Jan 2022
    Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
    𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: As a national account manager, I work closely with some of Ausmarts key customers (IGA, Ritchies, The Reject Shop and Baby Bunting) to conceptualise and deliver shopfitting solutions within the retail environment. My role in the project delivery arm requires implementation of efficient communication channels (internal and external) and support our customers to maximise their sales results through cost-effective fixture strategies and innovative solutions. e.g., full store fit outs, front of store counters and service areas, on-site artisan bakeries and sushi stations. I am the key contact for the 400+ stores that sit within my portfolio, suppliers, contractors, and internal departments (finance, logistics, store design, and procurement). I am responsible for releasing final pricing, tenders and project delivery / operations communications.𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: • Managed the delivery of 20 commercial fit-out projects (18 new stores and 2 renovations) from the planning phase through to handover and completion. • Successfully facilitated the national rollout of new store concepts for Ritchies IGA (basket and bag stands) and The Reject Shop (6-way fixtures). • In an endeavour to become more customer-centric (a core focus for Ausmart in 2020-2021), the design team and I have invited our key customers into the office to see their design concepts (plans) in 3D. Historically, they have received them in 2D via email.
  • Primed Services (Commercial Joinery & Manufacturing - Retail)
    Senior Project Manager & Operations
    Primed Services (Commercial Joinery & Manufacturing - Retail) Jan 2017 - Aug 2020
    Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
    𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬:As the senior project manager in a start-up business, I worked closely with the two company directors and was heavily involved with growing the business from the ground up. My primary focus was to facilitate agreed works and manage the delivery of commercial fit-out projects from contract through to handover and completion, e.g., work with the architect, write up the project scope, costs, scheduling, variants and lead the onsite project delivery. I was also responsible for day-to-day operations, e.g., recruitment and onboarding of our internal team of shopfitters and cabinet makers, plus all OH&S matters.𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: • Successfully grew the company from the foundation contracts to employing 6 staff in a full-time capacity and multiple contractors (when required to complete agreed projects) within two years. • Ensuring compliance with industry best practice and exceeding client expectations, we became one of the preferred suppliers for commercial joinery for FDC and INTREC Constructions. • Implemented systems to efficiently perform complete takeoffs (measuring and costing plans) for the materials required for the internal store fitouts for Aldi (store refresh program). • I decreased installation time for Aldi shop fronts by pre-manufacturing the shopfronts off-site and delivering them in a modular system (ensuring consistency and a neater finish across all stores).
  • Ausmart International (Commercial Fixtures & Fittings - Retail)
    Senior Project Manager
    Ausmart International (Commercial Fixtures & Fittings - Retail) Oct 2011 - Jan 2017
    Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
    𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: Not too dissimilar to my current role, as a senior project manager within the Ausmart Project Team, I worked closely with project team leaders, project managers and project coordinators to deliver agreed-upon commercial fit-out projects. As a senior project manager, I was responsible for the dedicated management of our key clients (Daiso Japan, The Reject Shop, Coles, Kmart and Aldi) and provided both the team leader and client support throughout the fit-out process.𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: •Chosen to lead and execute the newly won contract for Ausmart to provide third party project management for Kmart store refurbishments (many were conducted at night, allowing the stores to trade during the day to minimise lost revenue). • Working closely with the Westfield Scentre Group, I secured Ausmart as the preferred supplier and contractor for their centre and mall pop up solutions (Brandspace), delivering a new revenue stream to Ausmart. • Along with the Ausmart design team, I created a new fixture system enabling the backlit LED lighting bays at Daiso to be connected post installation, reducing overall installation time.
  • Spotlight Retail Group (Srg) (Commercial Shopfitting - Retail)
    Project Manager
    Spotlight Retail Group (Srg) (Commercial Shopfitting - Retail) Jan 2007 - Oct 2011
    Australia, Nz, Hong Kong And Singapore
    𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: As the Project Manager, my primary focus was to facilitate agreed works and manage the commercial fit-out projects from contract through to handover and completion for Spotlight, Anaconda, and RSEA brands across Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore. I travelled frequently, was the primary contact for commercial property managers, architects, subcontractors and suppliers and was responsible for all project tenders locally and internationally.𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: • Negotiated an unattainable make good clause on behalf of Spotlight and had their commercial lease deposit refunded in full (after Spotlight had reached their walkaway point). • Developed a custom ordering system that saw excess shelving wastage decrease per site, removing the need for excess fixtures being packed and stored (or relocated to third party storage) once the fit-out was completed, eliminating unnecessary costs. • Further reduced project costs by altering the existing shelving fixture system to have fewer components, which also meant a quicker installation time. • Worked closely with the Spotlight risk management team to develop and roll out an on-site OH&S induction program for both internal employees and contractors and played a pivotal role in changing the safety culture. • Delivering consistent results and demonstrating excellent values and behaviours saw me be awarded the internal 'high achiever' award four times within four years.
