In environmental services, land management and NRM, and civil, water and infrastructure work, the jobs happen on site but the pressure lands in the office: crew schedules, field data, progress claims and reports to clients, funders and regulators. I've spent over 20 years working across these industries. Now I help organisations of about 10 to 150 staff, including not-for-profits, fix how the work flows and put in practical AI and automation, so the owner or GM isn't the only one who knows where everything is.
Your biggest time drain, and the fix I'd start with.
Start with the one that costs you the most time. Add more as you grow.
Who's where, with what gear, on one schedule the team can see on their phones, with changes sent to the crew straight away.
Short forms on the phone for readings, photos, site notes and sign-offs, so the data lands in one place the same day.
Client, funder and regulator reports drafted from the data you already collect, ready for a person to check and send.
Quotes from your templates, extra work logged and approved in writing, and progress claims drafted at each stage.
Pre-starts, inductions, licences and permits tracked, with reminders before anything expires.
Milestones, spend and outcomes tracked against each grant, so the acquittal report isn't a scramble.
A weekly operating rhythm, a clear owner for each area and one report the team trusts, so decisions don't wait on one person.
Your job, accounting and document tools connected, so details are entered once.
What's possible depends on the software you already use. We confirm it on the discovery day, before you commit to anything.
This shows what a setup can look like. Yours is built around how your business runs and the software you already use.
30 minutes by phone or video. You tell me where the work gets stuck. I tell you where I'd start.
FreeA day inside your organisation, on site or by video call, then a written report with every fix, in order.
From $1,950Fixed-price builds for the fixes you choose, or about one day a week as your fractional COO, working through the plan with your managers.
Quoted after the discovery dayMonitoring, fixes and small changes as your projects and team change.
Optional care plan, from $290 a monthYes. I've spent over 20 years in operations and commercial leadership, as a general manager, executive and CEO, across environmental services, water, infrastructure and industrial markets, including a not-for-profit. I don't share details of past employers, their clients or their results.
Yes. Land management, bush regeneration and other not-for-profit organisations are part of who I work with. Funded projects and grant reporting are often a big part of the admin load, so they're a common place to start.
No. I set it up around the tools you already use and keep it working. Your team learns the new way of working, not the technology behind it. People still check and approve anything that goes to a client, funder or regulator.
It usually fits organisations of about 10 to 150 staff. If you're smaller, the same kind of fixes work at a smaller scale, and I'll tell you on the call what fits.
Yes. I'm based in Brisbane and work on site across South East Queensland, or by video call.
The first call is free. The discovery day is from $1,950, credited to your build if you go ahead within 60 days. Builds are a fixed price, and fractional COO work is quoted after the discovery day, with a minimum of 3 months.
