Employed initially as the Project Manager overseeing the construction of large flat bottom silos for the on-site storage of grains. This role included the managing of our clients earthworks to ensure sufficiently constructed pads for the silo construction, ordering and scheduling of reo and mesh for the concrete pad to be on site as well as our required formwork. I was also in charge of the scheduling of our numerous field crews for the concrete base and silo construction, quite often managing up to 5 crews over various parts of Australia. During this period I spent a lot of time on site learning the technique of correct installation procedures as well as trouble shooting any future issues that may arise so as to be able to guide clients through these problems.

Over a period of time I also evolved into the role of Victorian salesman for our flat bottom silo range and began to create a great report with my clients. This role required me to site visit with potential clients, discuss their current and future on farm storage needs and advise them of our range of options available as well as completing budgets and quotes for these clients.

Employed as a sheet metal laborer by Maurice Jaeschke, I was able to work my way up in the business to become the Production Manager.
