I work across pumped hydro and represent WaterNSW internationally on hydropower matters. My work spans capital programs from $72M to $20B across civil, water, structural and renewable energy infrastructure. I’ve delivered with Tier 1 contractors and governed assets for major utilities, translating delivery realities into board- and regulator-ready reporting. At Downer, I directed a portfolio of Sydney Water infrastructure projects, with accountability for budgets, resource allocation and financial sustainability. I also reported performance to clients and stakeholders and addressed commercial and delivery risks. Earlier, at CPB Contractors, I managed delivery across three concurrent project packages, maintaining time, cost, quality and contractual parameters. At DECMIL, I led a 50-person delivery team and managed reporting, quality compliance and field cost variations. ``` ## Experience ### Manager - Renewable Energy and Long Duration Storage Programs (current) WaterNSW.
