A CONTRACTS management professional, I have gained substantial experience in managing multi-hundred million dollar projects in Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific, S.E. Asia and Africa. I have primarily been involved in large-scale construction projects. During this time I have developed an acute awareness of Health, Safety and Environmental requirements. My professional career began with a firm of quantity surveyors in New Zealand. This provided the raw skills needed to move into contracts management. My initial experience was on the USD 1.8 billion expansion of an oil refinery in New Zealand. Since then I have gained extensive experience in the resource and commercial construction arenas. My strengths include excellent organisational skills, a natural talent for mounting and defending construction claims and effective communication skills.
