Career Overview
Alex is a Chartered Professional Engineer with more than a decade of experience delivering complex, multidisciplinary infrastructure projects across transport, healthcare, Defence, industrial and government sectors. She has spent over ten years as a practicing electrical designer within Tier 1 consultancy environments, developing deep technical capability in building services systems across high consequence and operationally sensitive facilities including rail stations, hospitals, explosive ordnance facilities, manufacturing plants and major public infrastructure.
She brings extensive building services design expertise combined with strong integration, technical coordination and stakeholder interface management capability developed across complex, fast paced project environments.
Alex currently acts as a Technical Advisor within the Wave 3 Civil Infrastructure Program, embedded within the Transaction Advisory and Delivery and Assurance streams. She supports Expression of Interest preparation, technical knowledge sharing, risk framework inputs and scope refinement, and has been involved in the program since its formative packaging phase. She interfaces regularly with internal subject matter experts, design consultants and program leadership, contributing to engineering assurance activities and supporting progression of design to agreed maturity prior to alliance development.
Alex represents a rare opportunity to embed a senior building services specialist within the TMR stations and precincts package, bringing Tier 1 multidisciplinary coordination experience across civil, structural, architectural, utilities and operational systems to an environment where integration, constructability, program control and stakeholder alignment are critical to success.
Her previous experience includes detailed design of Exhibition Station as part of the Cross River Rail program and early phase advisory for Olympic venue infrastructure, where she balanced competing stakeholder, program, budget and legacy requirements within high profile government environments. She understands that major public infrastructure projects require disciplined scope management, structured coordination and alignment between operational needs, funding constraints and long-term community outcomes, not solely technical delivery.
