Practical Support. Strategic Insight. No Fluff.

Hands-on help for councils and infrastructure partners under pressure.

Whether you’re facing a leadership gap, falling behind on reform deadlines, or need fresh eyes on a stalled project, I’m here to step in and deliver.

I don’t hand over glossy reports that sit on shelves. I embed, take responsibility, and move things forward – fast.

1. Interim Executive Placement
Need a capable, experienced leader to step into a critical vacancy? I offer short to medium-term placements (remote or on-site) in roles such as:

Director Infrastructure
Director Operations
Manager Operations
Manager Infrastructure

What you get: Stability, momentum, and a calm pair of hands when it matters most.

2. FOGO & Glass Rollout Support
The 2027 deadline is looming – and many councils are still mapping options. I can lead or support:

Service and contract design
Opt-out policy development
Internal readiness assessments
Project planning and delivery
Community communications

I’ve studied what’s worked (and failed) in other councils – and bring practical solutions, not theory.

3. Asset & Road Management Plans
Struggling with deadlines or under-resourced teams? I can work with your existing data and teams to:

Review or rewrite RMPs and AMPs
Align with legislation and council strategy
Integrate with TechOne, Assetic, or other platforms
Assist with community consultation and reporting

I speak the language of engineers and executives.

4. Infrastructure & Waste Projects
Need a project sorted, scoped, or salvaged? I can support:

Procurement & contract reviews
Landfill & transfer station planning
Civil infrastructure upgrades
Operational audits and reporting

From tendering through to implementation – I’ll keep it moving.

5. Council Capability Boost
Sometimes you just need a second brain or steady partner. I also offer:

Mentoring for new or acting managers
Governance and compliance reviews
Stakeholder engagement advice
Change management support

Flexible support. Clear outcomes. Zero waffle.
