EXPANDED EXPERIENCE:
Chronik Entertainment, Akron Technical, RWTH Nov 2012 - Present
Set up of two companies and furthering of language and technical studies
NRW, Germany
Germany was selected as a central location to further personal cultural, language, and industry knowledge and contacts. This was
achieved through language courses and a Master's study at the RWTH top national technical university. Additionally, two companies
were set up with the intent of gaining knowledge and a long term aims of winning future contracts across the Aerospace, Maritime, and
Corporate fields in both the technical (Akron), and the entertainment sectors (Chronik). In the event further favorable opportunities
become available from established organizations, these companies can be mothballed or dissolved.
Project Control Costs: ~€30,000
Managing Up: Nil
Managing Level: Pilots, Business owners, Financiers, and Asset owners
Requirements included:
 Learning the language to C1 proficiency within four months prior to application
 Analysis and selection of appropriate business structures in Germany and wider Europe
 Networking with industry contacts and understanding of industry tender processes
 Commencement of a Masters in Economics and Aerospace Engineering
Aussie Invader Nov 2011 – Nov 2012
Contract Engineer
Aussie Invader 1000Mph Landspeed Record Team
Perth, Australia
The Aussie Invader team is attempting a world landspeed record attempt with the intent of breaking the current record held by the
British Thrust SSC team at 763 mph (Mach 1.002). Their intent is to attempt this using a 9 tonne hypergolic (self-igniting) rocket fuel
powered vehicle with a design speed of 1000 mph.
Personal Project Control Cost: Nil
Managing Up: 1 Person – Owner / driver
Managing Down: 4 peers at primary level
Responsibilities Included:
 Manual work on vehicle shaping
 Liaising with potential suppliers and sponsors in the Aerospace, Maritime and Airforce
 Analysis of axle design and suggestions of alternate designs
 Rough analysis of vehicular aerodynamics
Note: After significant time spent examining the project design and intent, disagreement over the reliability of the current axle set-
up resulted in an amicable separation from the team. (It was felt the project could not progress unless all team members were
aligned, and personal opinions unfortunately did not align with that of the current vehicle set-up from a safety point of view.).
Current tentative run scheduling is for 2015, and I wish them all the best.
Sandwell / Citic Pacific Feb 2008 – Jan 2012
Project Engineering - Breakwater & Pipelines
Cape Preston Project
Perth, Australia
Project Engineer
Responsible for mechanical design, preparation of tender packages and procurement, and project engineering for all items related to
design and construction to large (1.8m) diameter pipeline within a breakwater. Pipe and roadway was designed for extreme overhead
loads (100 Tonne Haul Trucks) in unpredictable soil and settlement conditions of the breakwater. Project was introduced after
construction start due to scheduling issues, and as such, dealt with dynamic project conditions and requirements.
Personal Project Control Cost: $~20 Mio AUD.
Managing Up: 2 Persons – CEO and Lead Project Engineer
Managing Down: 4-10 peers in Engineering team at corporate office + site
Responsibilities Included:
 Project Engineering of suitable pipe material, jointing methods, contractor selection, procurement of material

Note: After a late change in project management, materials selection recommendations were followed but supplier and installer
recommendations were not (for cost saving purposes). During initial pressure testing after breakwater construction, the pipeline
failed due to a missing sealing joint, and a breakwater section washed away.
