About

Accomplished mechanical engineer specialising in the design, inspection, modification, project management, supervision, maintenance and commissioning of process plants, power stations, refineries and large infra-structure projects including the provision of feasibility and definitive studies for the same. Areas of expertise include boilers, materials handling plants, coal fired power generation facilities, hydro power generation facilities, pollution control facilities, automated production lines, minerals processing plants, petrochemical refineries, pipelines, dams, bridges, water & wastewater treatment facilities, railways and roads. A rare breed equally at home in the office as on the site with an excellent track record in the provision of clever solutions to complex problems. Has significant construction, experience and supervisory experience. Due to a decline in larger Mechanical projects focus has increasingly shifted to civil and structural projects.

I live on a small farm in North East Victoria whenever possible to spend time with my children during school holidays and alternate weekends. Generally I rent a property close to my work-place or use my caravan. Happy to Travel.
