Senior Engineer, Civil And Water
CurrentI have worked cumulatively with Ekistika (formerly CAT Projects) for over ten years on engineering projects in regional and remote Central and Northern Australia, Far North Queensland, the Pilbara region of Western Australia, Tasmania, The Cook Islands and Nauru. Across this time, I have provided design engineering and project management services to local government agencies, Indigenous corporations, utilities and commercial firms for a variety of large remote and regional infrastructure projects including a remote community swimming pool, a water park, a CBD redevelopment, a regional aquatic centre, community housing programs, solar farms and Granville Harbour wind farm, the latter with an aggregate construction value in excess of $280 million. I am experienced in waste management facility design, refurbishing and upgrades to potable water storage and supply networks and civil design works related to renewable energy solar PV ground-mounted systems and wind farms. My experience in the water industry extends to cost engineering for preliminary economic assessments and detailed design for projects. In addition to power system engineering, my capabilities also include business management system development, compliance, auditing and monitoring. As a Senior Engineer with Ekistica, I provide clients with a range of services including civil and hydraulic engineering design, community water safety planning, stormwater management and remote area project and construction management. I have a keen understanding of the critical interrelation of people, place and technology and, as a design engineer, am very conscious that while cost and quality are critical aspects, that they must also be contextualized by consideration for the intellectual, labour and logistical supply chains available to support their delivery.
