Mark moved to Alice Springs in 1975 as an 8 year old and, outside work commitments, has remained in the Northern Territory. Mark has extensive experience in most aspects of civil construction projects and is well respected within the industry.

Mark commenced his career as a labourer on various roadwork operations in the Alice Springs Region. He went on to plant operating including final trim grader operator then to supervision and for the past 10 years project management.

Mark is self-motivated and his recent experience includes leadership roles and project delivery of a range of infrastructure projects for international banking, government, oil, gas and mining clients over many years in Northern Australia, UAE and SE Asia.

In leading up to his current level of senior construction management, Mark has worked extensively over the years as client superintendent on site supervising construction, but obviously likes to be in on the project at the start for planning and development, feasibility, design, costing and procurement input.
