3. Career History
Current Role
BAE Systems is engaged with the Australian Government to deliver the LHD (Landing helicopter
Dock). My roles at BAE have been in technical support project positions. Initially in ILS (Integrated
Logistic Support) collating data, building infrastructures and procedures to support maintenance,
logistics and sparing for the ships electrical and instrument requirements. Part of this process was
also preparing documents and data for the ships Through Life Support. Equipment ranges from High,
Low and Extra Low Voltage switchboards, communications, fire suppression and specialist
equipment like PODs Bow thrusters, desalination plants, weapons, cathodic and degaussing
protection system, control networks and many more.
I was later required to take a new position to manage the Connector Division for the electrical
production group. The requirement here was to manage and prepare, purchase, reclaim all ship
requirements for combat systems connectors.
When given the position, it was a very challenging role, as systems and processes were disjointed
and department was not operating well. It also required communication and planning with Combat
Engineers, Production, Purchasing and Planners to ascertain requirements, changes (EC), lead time
and retrieval arrangements, the setting up of stores and a logistic process to meet Production
requirements. While conducting this task I was required to assist in planning needs, EC review and
estimating, using data bases for creation of work orders, cable pull and term sheets while maintaining
data bases.
Pilkington Glass - Skilled Group-
I was Electrical Manager/Supervisor on the Pilkington Glass Line Installation Dandenong.

I was required to conduct costing and estimating for new projects in and out of the Glass project and
ascertain any new cost project variations, outside of the scope of the contracted project works. Part
of the management was to manage, implement and maintain for the Skilled Group, Pilkington and
Skilled site electrical standards and safety policy, while developing policy on the run to suit specific
site needs. I was required to meet with the client regularly to communicate scheduled progress
reports, ensuring to meet the customers contractual scheduling requirements and keeping good client
contractor relations for electrical work. I was required to motivate and keep the tradesman relations,
providing “on target” requirements, while maintaining individual tradesman needs and conducting
communication and Safety tool box discussions. I was also required to review standards meet with
Energy Safe Inspectors, develop documents and apply processes to meet industrial Electrical.
installation inspection standards for the project.

Boeing - Skilled Group

4. Managing Specialist contracted projects for the Skilled Groups outside of the contracted maintenance
division.
Godfrey Hirst - Skilled Group
Electrical/Instrument support team Leader at Godfrey Hirst in Geelong.
This role required planning of electrical preventative maintenance. To be the first point of call for
reactive maintenance, reviewing work orders to develop predictive requirements, leading, supporting
and prioritising the team to best meet production requirements, while developing flexibility in the
team.
The electronic maintenance management system used was S.A.P
Goodman Fielder
I was the Maintenance Co-ordinator for the packaging plant, packaging refined cooking oils.
My duties here were to support and monitor maintenance to further reduce reactive work. To meet
with production and review daily KPI’s, delegating labour resources, suggesting and implementing
project improvements and assisting with operator, tradesman training or procedures.
I controlled the daily reactive and preventative work requirements for maintenance and sourced the
required labour from a pool.
SAP was the electronic maintenance management system for maintenance and purchasing.
It was also in my task description to create procedures and train staff on safety. Some of the
processes I created and trained staff on Isolation, lockout tag out, CLAIR (Clean, Lubricate, Adjust,
Investigate and Repair) and Food Traders (operator/tradesman).
Various Project Roles
Boeing – Project management, Melbourne city council Bi–Centenary Bells, Nestle
Monsanto
Packaging process joint team leader, the plant manager allowed for a progressive group where the
team not only controlled, but also were accountable for production, maintenance and logistics. This
meant making the daily production requirements, maintaining, repairing or improving the equipment
and controlling the logistics of production requirements on and off site for the packaging plant. This
process was so successful that the KPI improvement for the plant improved by 80% after the first12
months. This plant had not had a recordable injury for 3 ½ years and maintained the highest levels of
safety.
I was then promoted to the Glyphosate Technical plant where I achieved level 4 in chemical process
plant operations certificate. This plant was a Continuous/Batch process operation requiring 24hr shift
roster.
PPG Paints- 1997-1999: Instrument/ Electrical Technician
Huntsman Chemicals 1986- 1996: (13 Years Experience between these two)
Both of these plants were where I gained my electrical/instrument trade grounding in the
Petrochemical Industry. These were large plants with and enormous variety of heavy industrial
equipment and instrumentation. The plants had continuous and batch processes that eventually end in
a packaging plant. This was also the grounding for my high level of training and knowledge of safety
processes and procedures and a tool that I draw from when creating my procedures or training.
Duties that were required of me at
both Huntsman and PPG Paints
Electrical
 Motor Varied- varied from 6.6KV to ½ HP
 Motor Repairs were from 1/2HP to 40 HP
 AC 1 Phase, 3 Phase, DC drives and synchronous motors including power factor
rotors

5.  AC and DC speed controls were also quite common in various plants
 3 – 4 furnace units (which regularly broke down)

 Converters valves were generally from Moore Ind
 I to P converters were of Fisher Type
 P release valves were of the Buneburg type
 Other Items worked on were pressure gauges, thermo couple and RTDS, all of
various types
 Most of the above items required fault finding skills and calibrations to ISO 9002
standards
 All cables were usually of the steel wired armoured or steel wired shielded type
cables respectively for both electrical and instrumentation
