- I’ve worked at Viva Energysince June 2018.
- My first jobwas as a Lifeguard.
- My role at Viva Energyis as a Key Account Manager, Resources West.
- I help people reach their destination byensuring that our Mining customers have fuel and lubricants when they need it.
- The best part of my job islearning about the strategy and challenges of our customer’s businesses and understanding where Viva Energy can play a role in this. I enjoy working with colleagues to drive efficiencies and better service our customers. This could be providing training on a mine site, helping to coordinate a last minute order, or providing robust contingency planning when weather conditions prevent fuel deliveries.
- The biggest misconception people have about my role isit is much broader than just selling fuel and lubricants, this year I had the opportunity to work with a customer on a community initiative to celebrate NAIDOC week at a local high school. It was a great event and showed how Viva Energy can collaborate with customers on multiple levels to reach a shared goal.
- I was led to this careerbecause before this I worked for a power generation company in a number of roles including pricing, sales and strategy. I like to have variety on a day-to-day basis and I enjoy working with people. The Key Account Manager role is great because I can continue to use these skills and learn about a new industry.
- I am energised bya flat white and the sunshine.
- The one behaviorI attribute my success to is being positive. I really believe that if you approach a task in a positive and confident manner you are much more likely to get the result you want.
- The one thing that surprises meabout working at Viva Energy is all the offices have really beautiful views. Viva Energy is a great place to work, I feel empowered and trusted to make the right decisions in my role and I have the freedom to work flexibly when I need to.
- The most memorable momentI had at work was seeing a large open cut mine site for the first time. Coming from the UK I hadn’t appreciated the size and scale of some of the diggers, haul trucks and other mining equipment!
- The greatest career adviceI was given is that your career is a marathon not a sprint. It is important to take time for yourself, reflect, stay energised, and enjoy it – all of this will help the longevity and success of your career.
- The most important skillevery person should have is empathy. I think it is important to be able to view the world from someone else’s perspective.
- The one topic我希望我能知道更多关于AFL -我一直living in Australia for over a year and have just about learnt the rules and some of the Fremantle Dockers players!
