Environmental management
I’ll be taking a break from Greenbriar Consulting and taking on a full-time contract at TAFE NSW-Illawarra Institute as Environmental Sustainability Coordinator. It’ll be fun to have ownership of a site ( or 14) again, rather then just advising.
My existing contracts are being completed.
