My professional background

I help my clients to achieve practical, well-balanced mechanical engineering solutions for their projects. Clients tell me that I have an innate consideration for balancing upfront costs, ongoing costs, and overall system quality and longevity.

My experience is quite diverse, including:

• Mechanical HVAC Consulting and Contracting
• Building Automation Consulting and Contracting
• Energy Consulting
• Mechanical HVAC Servicing
• Refrigeration Product Lines of Business.

My role is not just about delivering great technical solutions, but about having empathy for all stakeholders involved in my projects, and being able to effectively communicate with everyone, no matter their role.

My specialisations

• Robust Mechanical Design
• Complex Energy Modelling of Mechanical Systems and Optimisation of Components
• Whole of Life Analysis
• Building Management and Control Systems (BMCS) Design
• Chilled Water Systems
• Healthcare

My key project experience

• Coffs Harbour Hospital HVAC and Energy Upgrade:
  I was the mechanical design engineer and energy engineer on this project. It included the replacement of sixty-two (62) split ducted AC units with Chilled Water / Heating Hot Water Fan Coil Units, and the installation of a new Chiller and Heat Pump Plant, as well as the installation of rooftop solar PV and retrofit of existing Fluorescent and Incandescent light fixtures with LED fixtures. This project was delivered as an Energy Performance Contract managed by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage on behalf of NSW Health.
• Shoalhaven Hospital Chilled Water Upgrade and Centralisation:
  I was the mechanical design engineer and energy engineer on this project. It included the upgrade, replacement, and centralisation of four (4) existing standalone cooling systems distributed throughout the different ages of buildings on site, including air cooled chiller, reciprocating DX chillers, and condenserless chilled water systems. The final solution was a variable primary / variable secondary hydronic system serviced by variable speed air cooled chiller. This project was delivered as an Energy Performance Contract managed by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage on behalf of NSW Health. It also included the installation of Rooftop Solar PV and LED Lighting Upgrades.
• Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital and the Central Energy Plant Building Management System (BMS):
  I was the lead BMCS Design Engineer for the BMCS contractor on the Central Energy Plant at Lady Cilento Childrens Hospital. I was responsible for control system design, construction, programming, documentation, commissioning, and tuning.
• Cairns School of Arts Tenancy Fitouts:
  I was the mechanical design engineer for the design and construct tenancy fitout works at Cairns School of Arts. This included several tenancies within the heritage listed School of Arts building. My role included design development with the client from both a functional and aesthetic perspective, as well as design and implementation of the technical solution.

What creating inner beauty means to me

Inner beauty is timeless. A building with inner beauty has a well-engineered and considered design, executed with precision and care.
