Project Planner, John Holland Pty Ltd, Sugarloaf pipeline, VIC

START Date: 
August, 2008
END Date: 
January, 2010

This role required me to step-up a gear in programme development, the co-ordination / integration of various parties and the collection and presentation of project schedule related information. Coming from a predominately claims background, an Alliance seemed a little foreign. Although design was on-going and changing throughout construction the same date for practical completion remained and thus the programme was highly dynamic.

Upon the completion of the Sugarloaf Pipeline Project, I was predominantly based in John Holland’s Melbourne head office, whilst also fulfilling a minor role on the GASP stations. During this period I have worked on a variety of project tenders over several construction disciplines, including rail, civil and building. Most notable tender wins, which I have been involved in, include a $60m extension to the Victoria State Coroner’s office and two $30m train stations.

START Date: 
May, 2011

The first of several RRL packages to be awarded and the timely
completion is critical in delivering the overall project to the client (MTM/DOT).
Being a design and construct project, the team had to hit the ground running in order
achieve the dates for PC. 
 
Since contract award, the team and myself have encountered many challenges, such as
producing documentation to get access to site and managing external interfaces.
Working around a busy, live rail environment requires careful pro-active planning
