What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead operations or project-controls teams where I can improve cost, schedule, reporting, and performance across complex international portfolios.

Over 22 years of experience in management, capital projects, cost control, scheduling, and operations. Proven expertise in leading international and remote teams and managing multi-million-dollar portfolios and projects across diverse industries. Adept at aligning business strategy and objectives to optimise cost, schedule, and performance.

At Worley, I coordinated global project-controls teams supporting portfolios exceeding $500M in net revenue and rebuilt a client reporting framework that restored trust.

I’ve delivered AUD $60M in cost reduction at FMG, led 35 direct reports on the AUD $7B RTIO Port Upgrade, and founded a 3D Printing business.
