In 2008 I relocated to WYG Dublin office and asa senior environmental consultant.I continued to work on
hydrogeological projects and also became involved with a number of small and large contaminated land site
investigations and remediation projects.My roles on these contaminated land projects involved project
management, technical report writing and supervising site scientist.
Below is an outline of several of key projects I have worked on and my role on each project:
Public Transport Infrastructure Development:I have been involved in the geotechnical and environmental
investigation works for two major rail infrastructure developments in Melbourne. My role in both projects was to
project manage site access, permits and sib-contractors for investigation works. This involved liaising with a number
of stakeholders including the client, sub-contractors, local councils, road owners, asset owners and local residents. I
also prepared and reviewed technical environmental reports including Phase 1 Desktop reviews and detailed
Environmental Assessment Reports.
Contaminated Land Site Investigations:I have been involved in numerous contaminated land site investigations and
pre-purchase due diligence contamination assessments in the UK, Republic of Ireland and Australia. These
investigations have covered a broad range of scales and contaminants, including domestic oil spills, active and
disused service stations,large scale site investigation and remediation works for industrial and commercial sites. My
main duties involvedproject management, supervising site investigations, site access and permitting, soil and
groundwater sampling, technical report writing and remediation design.
Closed Landfill Investigation and Management:I was the project manager for a large closed landfill located southeast of Melbourne. The project involved the assessment of the landfill cap, hydrogeological assessment and
modelling and developing remediation strategies for the ongoing management of the landfill which operated as a
park. My role in the project was scheduling, developing scope, costing, scheduling, budget control and managing
the communication and expectations of the project stakeholders which included four local authorities, the EPA and

for the Private Water Supplies monitoring programme and EPA Groundwater Monitoring programme. My main
responsibilities were managing logistical operations and field resources, liasing with laboratories, collating, verifying,
and reporting results, and budget control.
Soil and Water Assessments: I have undertaken numerous soil and water assessments in UK andIrelandto be
submitted as part of an EIA. The majority of these reports have been undertaken for a range of developments
including wind farm developments and road schemes. Once an initial site assessment is undertaken an impact
assessment is then completed within the relevant legislation and guidelines. This assessment determines the
potential risks the development poses during construction and operation and what mitigation measures can be put
in place to best minimise these risks.
Environmental Impact Assessments: I have been involved in project managing a number of Environmental Impact
Assessments. The largest project was for the construction of breakwater at a commercial harbour in Northern
Ireland. My responsibilities included co-ordinating various sub-consultants, stakeholder engagement in the public
and private sector, client liasonand compiling environmental impact matrices.
