8 years with the Wesfarmers Group

“The future always looks EXCITING. Anything could happen and you have to be prepared for the challenges.”

I started off my Wesfarmers career with Bunnings, before moving onto the Coles acquisition and integration projects, then transferring from Melbourne to Brisbane to take up my role as Financial Controller with Wesfarmers Resources. 

I’ve had a wealth of developmental and employment opportunities within the Group, across multiple industries.  No one day is the same.  There are great challenges we face each day, great people we work with both at site and in the divisional office, we’re a part of an exciting and interesting industry.

Working within a Resources industry, things are not always predictable and you need to be prepared for many outcomes.  Projects are large and varied, and there are different variables at each mine site that need to be understood.   This makes working at Resources more challenging and rewarding.  

The future always looks exciting.  Anything could happen, and you have to be prepared for the challenges ahead.
