Sean brings over 15 years of experience in the fields of Occupational Hygiene, Environmental Health, Safety Management and organisational leadership. Much of Sean’s experience is derived from a 17 year Military career as an Officer with the Royal Australian Air Force and consulting roles. Sean has worked within many different organisational contexts both domestically and internationally. In the early stages of his career, he acted in several roles as an independent practitioner and team leader at major military installations throughout Australia and Malaysia, providing Occupational and Environmental Health services to a range of stakeholders. Whilst in Malaysia, Sean implemented a successful surveillance program for monitoring levels of hazardous Transboundary Haze for which he was received an Achievement Award from the Surgeon General of the Australian Defence Force.

Sean also deployed as an Occupational, Environmental, and Workplace Health and Safety Manger on Operations Catalyst, Slipper and Resolute providing assessments, program management, audits and investigations, training and advisory services throughout complex conflict zones. Sean was awarded a Task Group Commendation for his work in Safety Risk Management and Health Prevention programs in support of deployed Australian Forces. Later in his career Sean has worked in project, policy and program management roles within operational and strategic level headquarters in the Royal Australian Air Force and Navy. He final role in military was on secondment to the Royal Australian Navy as the organisation's Senior Occupational Hygienist. Outside of his core vocational setting, Sean has also worked as a successful Project Manager for start-up ventures in Vanuatu for tourism and plantation operations.
Sean's extensive experience in Government, the Aviation and Maritime industries, maintenance authorities, the Health sector and leadership and management led to a natural shift into consulting during which he joined the Hibbs' management team in 2019. Since joining Hibbs, he has worked to expand the organisation's permanent operations in Victoria and Queensland, provided operations management, business development and program directorship for tier one clients in the Infrastructure, Government and the Energy sectors.

Sean’s approach to his craft is framed by a foundation of trade practice in complex and non-standard vocational settings, which have refined key attributes in practicality and pragmatism. His success and passion are found in enhancing collaboration and relationships (both top down and bottom up) to integrate practical business improvement and capacity development initiatives for Occupational Health and Hygiene within the context of the business setting.
