Adam McIntyre

With over 23 years of trade qualification experience and a proven track record as a Technical Manager at GDM, I specialize in problem-solving, staff training, and managing key accounts. I excel in contract negotiation, ensuring projects meet deadlines and client expectations, and my hands-on experience spans the entire design and build process. I have successfully managed significant accounts such as Miter 10, The Warehouse, and Dick Smith Australia. My strengths include influencing external contractors, improving efficiency, and maintaining strong internal and external relationships. I am committed to mentoring new staff and fostering a solution-focused mindset. Adept at managing budgets and project costs, I thrive under pressure and consistently meet tight deadlines. I am now seeking new challenges to leverage my engineering and lean manufacturing expertise in a dynamic environment that values hard work and determination. Seasoned Engineering Manager adept at seamlessly integrating project technical aspects and making information relatable to non-technical personnel. Experienced leader and program manager with 20+-year history in field. Clear communicator, decision maker and problem solver.
