Jan 1988 - Dec 1999
Held various positions during my time at the Department. Commenced as a data entry person in Toowoomba, and worked my way up, to Systems Analyst (Road Maintenance) in George Street, Brisbane. During this time, I managed the departments ARMIS program for North District based in Townsville. The skills gained included supervising staff, data analysis, road asset management, fundamental maintenance engineering, strategic planning and project management. The final position was to assist senior management in the analysis of the current road network to aid in the appropriate distribution of funds based on assets management methodology, to gain the best cost/benefit return on public funds. During this time, it there was a major change in the methodology for road asset management and the data analysis provided critical information for the implementation of the new method of determining where and when road maintenance would occur.
