JO WINDEATT
Summary
Having grown up in the Snowy Monaro region, I have strong ties to this community and would be proud to work for an organisation that is so influential to this area.
Throughout my career, I have worked across a diverse range of customer-focused roles, building strong communication, problem-solving, and relationship-management skills.
I am currently a serving officer with the New South Wales Police Force, where I have gained extensive experience in communication and presentation, conflict resolution, decision-making under pressure, leadership, and community service and engagement. I am now seeking a career transition that will allow me to leverage my transferable skills.
Known for my professionalism, communication skills, approachability, adaptability, and calm approach to complex situations, I am eager to contribute my experience and strong work ethic to the Snowy Scheme.
