I work in project delivery and have seen how much time teams lose on reporting, meetings, and chasing updates. I’m currently exploring simple AI workflows to reduce admin load and improve project visibility. If you’re dealing with delays or reporting inefficiencies, happy to compare notes. help industrial businesses deliver complex, high-value projects with speed, structure, and strategic clarity—especially in high-stakes environments where every hour counts. As a National Project Lead at O'Brien Energy, I’ve successfully led multimillion-dollar project portfolios across Australia in industries like manufacturing, mining, energy, renewables, and food processing. I specialize in managing multidisciplinary teams, driving stakeholder alignment, and delivering under pressure—whether that’s during tight plant shutdowns or large-scale infrastructure upgrades. I’ve led project delivery teams across culturally diverse regions, streamlined PMO workflows, and implemented systems that increased visibility across cost, scope, and schedule. From containerized rental steam plants to complex regulated boiler system upgrades, I’ve delivered outcomes that saved clients time, budget, and compliance risks. What I bring to every project: ✅ Clear project governance and process visibility ✅ Transparent communication across all stakeholders ✅ Speed without sacrificing safety or quality ✅ Structure that eliminates firefighting and boosts team morale Some of my recent work includes: – Leading the rapid installation of a 2,000kW steam system at a remote Queensland plant, completed in under four weeks – Overseeing the installation of a 5MW Firetube Boiler system with full electrical, mechanical, and instrumentation integration – Delivering energy system upgrades for top-tier clients like Cleanaway, IXOM, and major food producers under tight regulatory conditions I'm deeply passionate about the intersection of engineering, systems thinking, and emerging technology—especially AI-powered solutions that simplify project management, enhance decision-making, and unlock visibility across the project lifecycle. Looking ahead, I’m focused on driving strategic, cross-functional projects where innovation, compliance, and stakeholder outcomes all matter. If you're building something ambitious—and want to deliver it without chaos—I'd love to connect. 📬 Let’s talk if you're tackling challenges in: – Project delivery transformation – Industrial process upgrades – Energy and decarbonization roadmaps – PMO optimization and digital workflows – Implementing AI in capital project execution
As the head of project delivery at O’Brien Energy, I lead national-level engineering and execution for complex industrial boiler and energy systems across Australia. My focus is on delivering high-stakes projects with speed, safety, and systemized execution — all while reshaping how we manage risk, cost, and handovers. 🔹 Core Responsibilities: Lead the full project lifecycle from sales handover to commissioning across multi-million dollar installations Oversee national PMO operations, engineering scoping, compliance, QA, and subcontractor governance Manage a portfolio of projects across VIC, QLD, and WA with weekly executive reporting and performance visibility Implement governance frameworks (RASCI, PMO SOPs, Cost Controls) tailored to high-pressure brownfield environments Guide a multidisciplinary team of project managers, engineers, site supervisors, and drafters Act as direct interface with COO for strategic resourcing, planning, and margin optimization 🔹 Strategic Highlights: Restructured PMO operations to achieve 95% on-time delivery targets with 2–3% margin lift under cost pressure Spearheaded AI and automation trials (ClickUp, Notion AI, ChatGPT) to reduce reporting time and streamline project status visibility Delivered national projects including dual-fuel biogas systems, rapid boiler deployment (Orica), and high-efficiency plant upgrades Standardized variation approval process and cost transparency using dashboards + field feedback integration Mentored junior PMs and built a scalable handover system that reduced post-commissioning issues by 40% 🔹 Vision-Driven Work: This role is more than execution — it’s where I began experimenting with how AI and systems thinking could reshape industrial project delivery. That’s become the foundation for what I’m quietly building now — a lean, AI-powered project system to help other teams simplify, track, and automate delivery without getting buried in tools.
Led complex project delivery across energy, gas, and steam system installations, managing every phase of execution — from scoping and procurement through to commissioning and handover. This role served as the operational foundation for building scalable project systems — blending hands-on delivery with documentation, quality, and commercial control. 🔹 Key Responsibilities Managed complete project schedules using MS Project across all active jobs Delivered projects on-time and under budget through cost control and variation management Coordinated procurement, vendor negotiations, and specification of key equipment and components Oversaw field team scheduling and engagement, ensuring clarity and accountability at all stages Produced stakeholder-facing progress reports and performance summaries Led quality control across site execution, commissioning, and handover using structured checklists Created, tracked, and implemented variation quotes with margin protection Facilitated client and internal kickoff meetings, system design reviews, and drawing approvals Co-developed and finalized P&IDs, layout drawings, gas submissions, and as-built sets Drove site safety adherence for employees and contractors across multiple concurrent sites Closed projects using formal checklists, lessons learned documentation, and PMO file storage conventions 🔹 Key Achievements Streamlined client handover process, reducing documentation gaps by 40% Built repeatable templates for scope, variation, and QA workflows now used across other project teams Identified process delays and implemented resource scheduling controls that reduced field rework Supported PMO development initiatives including better version control, reporting, and delivery governance
