  Project coordinator/manager

  The project Scope was to upgrade the entire Macquarie Campus network infrastructure. When the project manager left I was promoted to Project Manager to manage the project going forward. It covered all aspects of the installation from cabling to the Core to the end user. The project was in a situation where the PM was overloaded and as part of the ITS PMO, they required additional resourcing to assist with the project management, documentation, Business Analysis of Faculties and ensuring the new network would meet or better their current usage and future expectations and managing various discreet components such as management & training of the migration teams (18 staff), the Communications Plan and all communications to the user base and management of the IT representatives.This project allowed me to utilise the knowledge I was gaining and to extend myself from basic coordination tasks to managing discreet sub-projects of the project.

  Nokia siemens networks

  Jul 2009 - May 2010

  Project coordinator/manager

  In this role I began as the Project Coordinator on the BTS Split Project. The project Scope was to upgrade all existing 3G mobile base stations to separate Optus and Vodafone capability as well as upgrading the base station hardware. The project was a multimillion dollar and complex endeavour. The role expanded from generating reports and managing small components to managing various discreet components of the project. These components were varied and included managing infrastructure resources to meet the deliverables as well as management of Vendors to provide their contracted deliverables.Although I undertook project coordination activities as the programme was quite extensive, I was assigned several discreet project components to manage independently. One of the key tasks was creating and maintaining project reporting. The reporting for the project was very detailed and required extracting data from various sources then compiling it into various formats to suit the requirements of the major stakeholders. One area of reporting and management that was crucial was the invoicing. I was required to ensure invoicing milestones were met and to verify & report on invoicing progress. I was also required to ensure the project process was adhering to methodology and managing various project and department process through to completion.As the majority of the project was through Vendor contracts, the project had very high demands on reporting as there were many and varied stakeholders. This was a critical component of the role. Show less

  Infrastructure project manager - abw implementation

  As Infrastructure Project Manager, I was contracted to manage the IT components of a move to ABW incorporating new technologies such as: ► Meeting Room Management and integration ► Network Build VoIP telephony solution ► Unified Comms solution Projects were in the inception phase and required whole project lifecycle to deliver. The technology projects Goodman were originally discreet projects but I was hired to consolidate them to integrate with the office refit to ABW. This allowed me to work with the fitout team from the original gutting of the site to implementing "rough in" all the way through to the final commissioning of the integrated meeting room solution. The business benefits of this move to ABW included cost reductions in the way of floor space costs and reduction in power costs to efficiencies through better and easier collaboration as well as removing the silo mentality and encouraging more interaction between staff.

  Australian broadcasting corporation

  Apr 2013 - Apr 2014

  Radio and television project manager

  ABC was undertaking projects in the Radio and Television broadcasting areas to further move from analogue transmission to digital. The Capital Works Department provided project management for the broadcast business units and works with shared services and vendors to support ABC's broadcast capability. ► Project: Various Capital Works Projects. Capital Works is the central area for project delivery and allocation of capital funds. The project area covers projects from all Business areas (TV, Radio, iView, broadcasting) within the ABC and are centrally allocated. Within this role I liaised with all areas of the ABC and helped facilitate communication between the required business units. As broadcasting was moving away from the analogue transmission to digital, there was a high degree of “translation” and adaptation necessary to interface between the analogue and the digital mindsets. The projects completed were, upgrade of the digital radio playback systems, implementation of the iView application for Android and installation of a complex broadcast Central Ingest system for management of the television content. ► Project: Windows 7 rollout After two previous project managers attempted to rollout Windows 7 into the ABC (Approx. 6000 seats), I was asked to assume responsibility for the full rollout due to my involvement with the Digigram cards and the compatibility issues. This rollout was being conducted through vendors, internal staff and contractors that had already been put in place under the guise of a refresh. The project was expanded when I assumed responsibility, to incorporate all the workstations within the ABC and yet the timeline had not moved. This required a “rescue” mentality where proper project governance and communications needed to be put in place. Show less
