Project Cost Control · Finance · Change & Risk Management
Your next Senior Cost Controller. 16+ years across tier 1 mining, construction, and oil & gas — based in Perth and ready to deliver.
I bring 16 years of hands-on project cost control across Construction (Civil and Building), Mining Infrastructure, and Oil and Gas — with a track record of delivering financial clarity on complex, high-value projects for tier 1 contractors including ACCIONA, CPB Contractors, Thiess, and Leighton. I combine advanced numerical and analytical skills with strong systems capability (JDE, Power BI, Excel) and a deep understanding of how large-scale projects actually run.
Six years as a Contract Administrator at CPB gives me a commercial edge most cost controllers don't have — I understand how contracts are structured, how claims and variations are argued, and how to protect a project's financial position from both sides of the table. That depth makes my cost reporting sharper and my forecasts more defensible.
I manage multiple concurrent projects without dropping the ball, communicate cost performance clearly to project directors and clients alike, and build cost control frameworks that hold up under pressure. I hold a Postgraduate degree in Applied Finance from UNSW, I am Perth-based, FIFO-ready, and available now.
Leading cost control on major infrastructure delivery for ACCIONA Australia, based in Perth. ACCIONA is a global tier 1 contractor operating across water, transport, and civil infrastructure. Contributing to the Alkimos Seawater Alliance project — part of Western Australia's critical water security infrastructure.
Nearly six years managing the full commercial lifecycle of two landmark New Zealand projects for CPB Contractors (CIMIC Group). This role goes well beyond standard CA work — owning budget monitoring, subcontractor procurement and payment, variations and claims management, labour cost control, and purchasing negotiation across multi-hundred-million-dollar building programmes. The commercial depth gained here — understanding exactly how contract risk, cost, and schedule interact — makes my cost control practice significantly stronger than a conventional cost controller background.

The QGC secondment was the first direct exposure to Australian project delivery standards.
