McIlwain

• 1 - 100 Employee

• Site Supervisor/ Major Projects/ Construction Manager

  • Jan 2007 - Dec 2010

  I began working with Mc Ilwains as a Civil Foreman and due to my studies and love of the industry quickly advanced to Supervisor of Major Projects and then Construction Manager until the GFC affected the company and was required to look else where and began my FIFO work. During the floods of 2010 I was then constructing Mc Ilwains flagship project, the Springfield Dams. Highly challenging as the floods began as the crest of the dam had just began and the horizontal sand chimney's had just been constructed. Essentially the dams were built twice. With the assistance of engineers from Connell Hatch many diversions techniques were tied and implemented. Clay core was required to be imported and laid at 3-4% over OMC. As the on-ground leader my learnings on dam construction under live creek conditions with the potential of loss of life and property downstream was vast and greatly assisted me in the many dams I went on to construct.

The MCQ Group

• Pipelayer/ Foreman

  • Jan 1997 - Dec 2001

  Directly after completing my University Engineering degrees I began working on the ground and not the office to get a better understanding of the constraints and issues of a job site. It was one of the best decisions I have made and the 12 years experience provided me with many positive skills and understandings that have helped me throughout my career, in particular once I entered the office and also upon reaching a Construction Managers role at Mc Ilwains. Being very inexperienced, for 12 months I worked as a pipelayer laying sewer, water and storm water including the construction of concrete insitu and pre-cast pits and manholes. After the initial 12 months I worked as a Supervisor but often gave the company a hand in creating safety, quality and cost tracking spread sheets. Not only did I learn the constraints and issues that a lot of design engineers do not understand or appreciate but more importantly I began to learn production rates for plant and the right plant was for the task. I quickly learnt how to communicate to the ground staff and the importance of the ground staff. I also learnt all the techniques and methods that contractors will use to their advantage to be able claim variations and extend day works. I learnt many aspects of a construction site that university cannot teach. Show less
