At BABCOCK INTERNATIONAL GROUP over the years I had a number of roles. Firstly I was employed at the company as a quality coordinator which required me to work closely with the mechanical fitters on a number of sites developing work packs from the start making sure the work scope was correct. I was the OHS rep for the company in WA I would conduct audits in the workshop the office, and onsite where the other fitter were located. As the company did not have the best process for OHS i created a data base which included all relevant information required for everyone.I progressed to a mechanical fitter working the workshop and on all the ships and submarines. My role then expanded to be water front support leading were I was in charge of working on the surface fleet conducting tasks and was responsible for ensuring timely work deliver. I trained other tradesmen in systems diagnoses and repair (mainly ANZAC & Collins class) at HMAS Stirling, and I was also asked to train BAE personnel in South Australia on the testing of air reducing stations.

Started with the ROYAL AUSTRALIAN NAVY to become as MARINE TECHNICIAN. I was directly responsible for the discipline and morale of 13 junior ranks (marine engineers), I ensured effective workplace relationships (in harbour and at sea) and contributed to their ongoing development through technical training and mentoring. Maintenance Coordination: As second in command of Marine Engineering I developed and executed maintenance action plans for portable and fixed equipment systems (80 ton air-conditioning plant; 7.2 ton refrigeration plant, water makers, sewage systems and a 125 – 3000 psi air- pressure units). Refit/Major Works Coordination: Managing the majority of contracted work packages across all trade disciplines, including coordinating civilian contractors, supplier/contractor relationship management, and ensuring that value added maintenance and repair solutions are being implemented. Safety Leadership: Reviewing, updating and implementing safety policies, including training junior ranks, and conducting internal safety inspections. I implemented a simple drop-down interface allowing quicker and more intuitive access to the OHS documents database for all personnel; my section has successfully passed multiple Naval Ship Safety Assurance audits conducted by Lloyd’s Marine Auditors
