KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
As a Consultantandpart of a teamof three,I wasinstrumental inre-designingthe layoutand
configurationof the GoroNickel projectinNew Caledonia. The re-designresultedinsignificant
capital cost reductionsandcontributedtothe seniormanagementof Incohavingthe confidenceto
re-startthe projectafterit washalteddue to constructioncost overruns.
I was appointedthe firstManagerof the Processand Industrial Divisionof Kinhill (now KBR) and
grewthe Divisionfromastaff of twoto 16 staff and 30 Contractors intwo years. Thiswas achieved
throughspecializingthe Divisionintodeliveringprojectsforthree keyQueenslandindustries(Sugar,
FertilizerandCoal SeamMethane).
I identifiedCoal SeamMethane asanemergingmarketinQueenslandin1996; employedstaff with
appropriate skills,negotiatedserviceagreementswithcompanies(suchasPGT for pipeline studies
and engineeringsupport) anddesignedandmanagedone of the firstCSMgatheringstationsfor
Tristar at Fairview(nearRoma) andoverlandpipeline.
I developedadatabase applicationtoenable the automationof the “Kinhill BusinessProcess”(KBP).
