Background

About Shaun Watson

I am a seasoned state operations manager with over eight years of corporate leadership experience in both the transport and manufacturing sectors. Recognised for demonstrating a natural aptitude for health and safety practices to manage risk, as well as participation in the development and execution of growth and diversification strategies. Professional focal points include safety, compliance, and process improvement; managing subcontractor drivers and independent fleet owners in highly regulated industries; financial acumen & commercial awareness; and an MBA which has allowed me to not only understand the keystones of effective business management but has also helped me to look objectively at challenging situations to pinpoint where the opportunity lies and how it can be exploited to create a competitive advantage for the business. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilisation of effective communication skills, negotiation skills, as well as project management and resource management to support efficiency and maximum returns.Recently, I was engaged as the State Operations Manager with Lantrak Resource Management. Under my leadership, I managed an extensive team of professional and blue-collar roles tasked with facilitating the safe and successful execution of transport and site activities associated with large scale civil projects, and commercial construction throughout Victoria. I have also engineered and enacted strategic action plans for business units with a concentration on employee engagement, brand development and financial growth. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, managerial and financial expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget.I am interested in contacting former colleagues and managers, as well as other professionals in my field.
