Project Information

I manage projects well, have an excellent success rate and teach others the skills necessary to manage their own elements of projects. I learnt Project Management at BHP Engineering through internal training and enhanced this with training from Deakin university. I am a past member of the Australian Institute of Project Management.
I manage projects in the following domains: Asset management, payroll, GIS, CRM, CMS, EDMS, Telecommunications, WAN / LAN, Defence, Data warehousing, eCommerce, Industrial Automation, Software development, DR/BC, and Printing.

The entire project was developed under secrecy agreements.
• PDS Wiring System – a comprehensive cabling system to support both data and voice needs using analogue and digital signalling. This project involved selecting the appropriate equipment and Installation Company as well as supervising the actual installation.
