In January 2020, a relocation to Sydney was the commencement of employment as Technical Manager at the National Electrical and Communications Association. The role was extensive, providing advice to over six thousand electrical and communication companies. The total number of electricians was over one hundred thousand. The role encompassed being responsible for the industry in New South Wales, Queensland, Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania. Many hours were spent on the road to advise state and federal regulators and sat on many committees relating to the electrical and communications industry. The role provided up to date information for the industry on a continual basis using professional relationships with all stakeholders to help achieve this including extensive reading and research.
