After 15 years as a Civil Engineering Designer and Drafter, now self-employed in the waste management industry and loving it. Working in the Brisbane and Melbourne markets I have been responsible for the design and drafting for Water Supply, Sewage Infrastructure, Gravity Main Design, Treatment Plants, Pumping Stations, Intersections and Subdivision (Residential and Industrial) Design and Road Upgrade Works encompassing earthworks, erosion and sediment control, storm water drainage, road design, sewerage infrastructure design and water design.

In addition to design roles, I have also mentored cadets and graduates along with being responsible for QA in the form of auditing drafting and design standards. I have experience using software programmes such as AutoCAD, 12D Model, PC Drain, MapInfo and some Civil 3D. I have a wide project portfolio having worked on some notable developments such as Gold Coast Water: Pimpama WWTP Alliance, Brisbane Water: Water Main Renewal and Robina Fire Tunnel System: Trackstar Alliance and the DTAP (Domestic Terminal Access Project) to name but a few. Specialties: Project Management, 12D Civil Design, Advanced AutoCAD Drafting (2D and 3D), PC Drain Road Design, Stormwater Design, Sewer and Water Design, Bulk Earthworks Coordination of drafting resources, mentoring.
