After High School I started work with a Freight Delivery company in NSW in an Operations Administration role. I then moved to a Logistics Supervisor with a Medical Waste company, scheduling up to 26 drivers to collect controlled waste throughout the Greater Sydney area.

After visiting Townsville on a holiday, I made the decision to move there as the city just had something that drew me in. In Townsville I joined a temp-agency and was placed with a Logistics Company as an Admin Assistant and progressed to Admin Manager.

An opportunity came about to assist with a transition project following Qube acquiring a North QLD based transport company, so I applied for the position of Admin Manager and was successful.This started my journey with Qube. There was a lot to be done and I sunk my teeth into every bit of it. It was a fantastic experience and an unmatched learning opportunity. I’d not had much to do with transitions so this was all new and very exciting.

And the rest I guess you would say is history.

Over the past 11 years with Qube, I’ve had the privilege to travel throughout QLD assisting with the start-up of new operations and assist other divisions who don’t have staff based in North Queensland. This has been great exposure to what Qube has to offer as a company and the limitlessness of the Transport & Logistics Industry.

I liaise daily between all different departments (customers, senior management, safety, compliance, planning etc) on the day-to-day Operations and on-going projects to do with the Train Services in North Queensland. You have to be a bit of a “jack” for this role (Jack of all trades).
