Lead technical delivery of SCADA and control system integration workstreams across utility-scale BESS projects in Australia and Taiwan, covering projects from 20MW to 300MW+. • Worked across the full project lifecycle, including design review, system configuration, technical documentation, integration planning, FAT/SAT readiness, commissioning support, troubleshooting and handover. • Resolved design gaps, integration issues and site-driven technical problems across internal engineering teams, subcontractors, OEM interfaces and client-facing scopes. • Supported projects including Mortlake, Dong Hai Jing, Latrobe Valley, Lincoln Gap and Hazelwood, helping move systems toward testing, commissioning and operational readiness. • Combined technical leadership with hands-on problem-solving to support delivery across complex, multi-stakeholder BESS environments.

Delivered end-to-end SCADA systems for renewable and hybrid energy projects, covering design, testing, commissioning, documentation and handover. • Worked across the full project lifecycles for Esperance and Kathleen Valley windfarms, including SCADA design, FAT/SAT, site implementation, commissioning, troubleshooting and client training. • Produced and updated key technical documentation, including functional descriptions, as-built drawings, network topologies and communications points lists. • Completed a full SCADA audit and documentation rebuild for White Rock windfarm, comparing legacy files against the implemented system and rebuilding a usable delivery baseline. • Developed Python-based tools to streamline file management and automate monthly performance reporting, including the recovery of a long-dormant reporting workflow.

Delivered PLC, SCADA and functional safety work for heavy industrial mobile machine projects, covering design, development, testing, commissioning and handover. • Worked on PLC/SCADA systems and functional safety upgrades for BHP assets, including Reclaimer 10, Reclaimer 11 and Stacker 7, with involvement in FAT/SAT, site commissioning and compliance documentation. • Reviewed software logic, system functionality and testing outcomes to diagnose faults, resolve technical issues and improve delivery quality across complex control system packages. • Produced technical documentation, testing protocols and handover material to help ensure systems were commissioning-ready and aligned with project requirements. • Built 3,000+ lines of Python automation to streamline PLC/SCADA development and testing workflows, lifting coding and checking accuracy from below 60% to above 95%.

Delivered PLC, HMI and SCADA work across mining projects, covering design, testing, FAT/SAT, commissioning and technical documentation. • Developed and commissioned the PLC and SCADA system for FMG Eliwana NPI, taking ownership of technical delivery across key project stages. • Completed PLC/HMI development and FAT for Rio Tinto Koodaideri NPI under a tight delivery timeframe after rapidly coming up to speed on new software tools. • Supported commissioning of PLC and SCADA systems for FMG Christmas Creek V-WHIMS upgrade works. • Worked across troubleshooting, testing, documentation and client-facing delivery, with strong project feedback and recommendation outcomes.

Led a Melbourne townhouse development business, managing feasibility, financing and end-to-end delivery across 10+ projects. This period strengthened my commercial judgement, ownership mindset and end-to-end project thinking.

Worked on process control systems within a large-scale iron ore operation, supporting PLC, SCADA and control system troubleshooting across critical mining assets. • Supported control systems for conveyor systems, sample stations, train loading systems, reclaimers and stackers at Christmas Creek Mine. • Worked on GE and Schneider PLC programming, GE SCADA design and operational troubleshooting in a live mining environment.

Built early control systems engineering experience across PLC, SCADA, system integration and on-site commissioning for mining and port automation projects. • Supported PLC programming, SCADA design and integration work for projects including anti-collision systems (ACS), Historian, conveyor systems and stockpile management systems (SMS). • Contributed to commissioning support, technical support and 3D simulation/visualisation work for industrial automation applications.
