Bart Sedgwick's Email

I have direct experience in all stages of the project life cycle on both the owner and delivery sides of multi-disciplinary programmes that is backed up with study with both technical and commercial theory. Having delivered engineering solutions in six countries across four continents I have demonstrated capability in mobilising effective, engaged cross-functional teams in large organisations while dealing with a wide range of cultural hurdles. I enjoy nothing more than getting involved in an organisation as an agent of ordered enterprise when chaos and confusions reigns. If you think that your organisation or programme could use my attention, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. My professional field of interest is in the practical application of power system analysis techniques for project development, design and implementation in order to meet technical and commercial business objectives. Short term goal: To lead infrastructure project developments in the energy and resources industries. Long term goal: To leverage off my success in my short term goal to play a leading role in establishing new delivery competencies and capabilities in the energy and resources industries. Specialties: power system analysis, power system protection and control, project engineering, project evaluation & development, economic evaluation, business cases, project commissioning, project management, engineering design management, utility power systems, industrial power systems, traction power systems, generator governor and excitation control, protection scheme philosophies and coordination, engineering management, management consulting, strategic planning

Project Engineering Manager @ As part of the Major Project management team my role is to lead and facilitate activities through pre-implementation project phases that reflect the realities of delivery for major, complex projects and programmes from both the network initiated and customer initiated capital plans. After identifying a business need for an engineering group aligned with project effort, I deployed a competency model to establish a project engineering team through organisational restructure during a period of change and uncertainty. I am busy aligning this team of forty two engineers and para-professionals with providing rigorous engineering to support investment decisions. This team has demonstrated high levels of engagement (as surveyed) through periods of sustained organisational change. Provide project sponsorship through corporate governance, including all executive and board investment committees, for major network and customer initiated projects in a tightly restrained, regulated investment environment. From August 2014 to Present (1 year 5 months) Queensland, AustraliaEngineering management consultant to the Major Projects Group @ I was engaged in order to drive improved performance through a rapid, reactive and reiterative change programme. In order to do so I coached others onto the right approach, challenged process and identified issues that need resolution and, if unable to resolve directly, took action to elevate, justify resources or external service providers required to provide sure delivery. From October 2012 to August 2014 (1 year 11 months) Queensland, AustraliaGeneral Superintendent Expansion Planning @ Provide technical and project leadership for all electrical engineering associated with infrastructure projects including hoisting, crushers, conveyors and services associated with the Grasberg and Deep Mill Level Zone block cave mines, which included over five design and three construction parties. Owner’s engineer and project manager for the 115/34.5/13.8kV main high voltage substation programme associated with the underground mine development. Owner's engineer and site project manager for the 75k tonnes per day underground rail haulage system, electrified with a 750Vdc traction power system, including all rail, services and rolling stock aspects. Owner’s engineer and project manager for the water and compressed air utility services programme associated with the underground mine development. Maintained electrical infrastructure strategic plan for the Mine Expansion with an expected completion in January 2016. Manoeuvred during prolonged industrial relations dispute to engage contracted services to keep critical capital projects on schedule while not aggravating further a sensitive situation with labour force. Forecast requirements and negotiated period supply contracts for medium and high voltage switchgear, cables and transformers worth over US$250m by end 2016. Managing conflicting mine development plans with project schedules to minimise disruption to production and development while maintaining overall delivery schedule. Established, coached and mentored the Expansion Planning group of expatriate and Indonesian electrical and mechanical engineers required to support the activities listed above.  Administrator for the Mine Survey and Geotechnical QA/QC group during strategic restructuring of operating division to ensure critical operational functions were carried out. From July 2010 to September 2012 (2 years 3 months) Papua Province, IndonesiaSenior Engineer Transmission & Distribution @ Developed annual plan and coordinated business development activities within the Queensland Power and Energy group. Expanded exposure of business group into industrial power systems for mining and coal seam gas clients. Through collective effort the team was able to exceed financial targets despite downturn caused by the GFC. Managed internal bids and opportunities processes and coordinated project tender activities across multiple business lines. Acted as face to market for mining and industrial clients. Managed multicultural project teams for delivery of design, primarily for HV substations in industrial applications. Delivered projects to quality, cost and schedule targets and ensured ongoing work with clients by managing expectations of all parties. Provided professional power engineering services for key clients in the generation, transmission and distribution, mining, coal seam gas and railway environments. Managed conflicting workloads and deadlines of multiple ongoing projects and meeting project delivery requirements. Prepared and presented technical paper on industrial power system analysis techniques at CIGRE South East Asian Protection and Control Conference 2009. Established research and development project into railway traction power system modelling. Coached and mentored graduate engineers in power system analysis techniques enabling these graduates to take responsibility of projects from project award through to commissioning. From July 2008 to June 2010 (2 years) Brisbane, AustraliaElectrical Power Systems Engineer @ Worked with clients and project teams from diverse backgrounds and widely varying technical skills in Australia, Scotland, Fiji, the Philippines, South Africa and Belize to deliver projects in challenging technical and operating environments. Provided power engineering professional services to industry from pre-feasibility through to commissioning, primarily in industrial generation applications. Took responsibility for own business development to ensure sustainable pipeline of work across the market. Coordinated installation, testing and commissioning activities of protection and control upgrades of industrial generators subject to strict shutdown schedules. Provided engineering services to generation clients in negotiating network connections between network service providers, market operators and market regulators. Carried out all parts of design and construct projects for industrial generation applications. Developed, tested and implemented mathematical models of governor and excitation control systems required by industrial and utility generator clients to establish network connections to the national electricity market. From June 2006 to June 2008 (2 years 1 month) Brisbane, AustraliaElectrical Project Engineer @ Project Engineer responsible for electrical scope of Isis Central Sugar Mill Cogeneration project, which was awarded a High Commendation by the Institute of Engineers, Australia. Coordinated field testing of primary and secondary electrical power systems from 415V up to and 132kV. Developed detailed inspection and test plans and monitored quality to meet client acceptance criteria, primarily in the resources and utility industries. From January 2004 to June 2006 (2 years 6 months) Brisbane, Australia
