entering the engineering workforce in 1972, I have occupied
a range of positions in both private practice and Local
Government in several locations around New South Wales,
culminating in my move to Lithgow in 1986 as Council’s
Deputy City Engineer. The positions covered the fields
of design, works, water & sewerage, emergency management
and environmental management, as well as the overall management
of staff and functions that executive staff is required
to perform.
Since
leaving Council in 1998, I have produced Environmental
Impact Statements, REF's, subdivision designs, and various
civil engineering tasks, such as the project management
of smaller projects.

the Local Government Engineer, and the techniques
available to solve them. |
