I am a Professional Engineer

Some of the work that I carried out with the Building Service Agency included, Civil Engineering, Fire service and water supply, Sanitary Engineering and stormwater drainage. Some great experience gained with a good employer.

I really enjoyed my time with the Building Service Agency (BSA). Working in the city and traveling to many sites in Victoria. I further improvement my knowledge with Sanitary Engineering

I was with the Council for only 3 months and it was the start of my Career in Local Government. My main duties included Design an easement drain in a lane way as a Drainage scheme. This included taking levels on site. I also was given a design and  construction project. The project was the construction of a car park and access road. Other duties included investigation of drainage and traffic complaints.Also I did some drafting and feature survey.

Working with the City of Caulfield was my first Local Government work. I previously applied for a position there and I did not get it. But a Senior Engineer took Long Service Leave and that gave me an opportunity to work temporarily for 3 months. City of Caulfield was amalgamated with neighbouring Councils in the mid 1990's and is now know as City of Glen Eira. I was there in from 18 March 1985 to 28 June 1985. Just over 3 months. I left there to work on a permanent position with the City of Mordialloc as Engineer Grade 1

Thank You Box Hill MFB 👍😀👍😀

I had a lot of drawing by Alexandra and had a a favourite quote of mine on the desk - No Involvement , No Commitment. I also had a plant that I looked after.

I worked for the Maroondah Council for a short time, but enjoyed it there. I had to adjust working in a smaller office with not as many people.  I was Coming from Brimbank and Whitehorse Councils where there were a lot more staff to do work. It was reminiscent of my Mordialloc days where you had to do pretty much everything. This builds character and good knowledge and experience.

(1) Asset Management (2) Emergency Management (3) Development Stormwater Drainage (4) Public Lighting (5) Structured team thinking (6) management studies and (7) Documentation of Procedures.

Thank you so much Ian.

I was just over 2 years with the Brimbank Council. I started as a contractor first and I applied and go an ongoing positions as a subdivision Engineer.

I learned a lot with my time at Brimbank Council. I learned about the subdivision process. And what better way to learn by being the Subdivisions Engineer for the creation of a new suburb. I also learnt first hand what happens when large stormwater drains structurally fail and the many ways you can repair them. I am very thankful at the opportunity given to me by Brimbank Council and the support of my colleagues there.

I learnt a lot and my career benefited from this learning.
