ABOUT
With more than 30 years in the Civil Construction industry, I have gained a comprehensive, hands on knowledge of the day-to-day requirements of a construction site through to the implementation of operational project management. I have experience across a range of projects and activities within the Civil Engineering Sector including:
​
-
Subdivisional Land Development | Taking greenfield land development sites and providing overall project management and oversight to the successful delivery of residential housing packages
​​
-
Roading Network Maintenance | Managing the maintenance and upkeep of urban and rural roading networks
-
Civil Infrastructure | Project managing the construction and commissioning of complex (whole town) drainage schemes which provide healthier places to live in our communities and for our families
​
Based on this construction experience, I was easily able to transition my focus towards a commitment in health and safety. In the last eight years, this commitment has seen me fulfil three years in regional health and safety roles which subsequently lead to five years in a National Health and Safety Management role for a large National Civil Construction company
​
See the list of services I offer and contact me today to discuss how I can work with your organisation to support, develop and strengthen the Health and Safety in your workplace.

ENDORSEMENTS
"Gus combines years of construction experience with passion and skills in safety management. The result is a learned but practical approach that workers, supervisors and managers can all relate to"
John Turnbull
Executive Manager Operation Support & Innovation
I have known and worked with Gus professionally for the last 7+ years. Gus’ transition over that time from a H&S advisory role through to a senior H&S management role has been impressive; it has been great to witness the growth in his confidence and professional capability.
Gus’ significant operational construction experience translates into his H&S practice. This broad practical construction experience translates into a pragmatic approach to H&S challenges that equate to workable front-line solutions. Gus is a great person to work with. His humble, intelligent, and considered style means he is able to work productively with people at all levels in all sizes of organisations.
If you are looking to engage a competent construction H&S practitioner, Gus would be a safe pair of hands. His deep construction experience, coupled with his H&S capability equates to workable solutions that improve the safety of work people do every day.
