Project Services Recruitment·Brisbane & Queensland

For twenty-five years I've placed project, programme and transformation talent across Queensland. The work changes constantly. The way I do it doesn't. Honestly, practically, and with the kind of market knowledge that only comes from showing up for the same people for a very long time.

How I work

The value is in the advice, the judgement and the network, not just the shortlist.

I'm not interested in sending a stack of CVs and hoping one sticks. The real value comes from understanding what you're trying to achieve, who will succeed in your environment and where the risks sit in a hiring decision.

01

A trusted advisor, not a CV machine

Over the years, my network has grown alongside my career. Many of the relationships I've built span decades and extend well beyond hiring conversations. People come to me for perspective, introductions and honest advice because they know the relationship isn't transactional.

02

An informed view of the market

Long-standing relationships across Queensland's project and transformation community provide a clear view of the market: who's genuinely available, what motivates them, where demand is emerging and what it takes to secure the right person.

03

Looking beyond the position description

Successful hiring is rarely about matching skills to a job description. It's about understanding the delivery environment, leadership style, stakeholder landscape and challenges that sit behind the role. That's the difference between a good hire and a great one.

04

A practitioner's perspective

Having worked through organisational restructures, transformation initiatives and periods of significant change, I understand the pressures leaders face when building teams. That experience helps me assess not only if someone can do the job, but whether they'll succeed.

Work with me if you want someone who will tell you the truth, represent your brand properly, and treat your hiring need like it matters.

Why Project Services

The pace and the people.

I've always been drawn to Project Services. Organisations are constantly evolving, transforming, adapting and delivering change. There are complex problems to solve, competing priorities to navigate and meaningful outcomes at stake.

It's also a market I connect with naturally. The people who succeed in Project Services tend to be practical, resilient and outcome-focused. They thrive in ambiguity, bring people together and find a way forward when others see obstacles.

That's why I enjoy working in this space. I don't just understand the job titles; I understand the environments these professionals operate in, the challenges they face and the impact they have on the organisations they support.

Programme, project and PMO talent for environments that are always changing.
