Brett Hicks
Raised in the small country town of Donald, Victoria, my career commenced with a move to Melbourne as warehouse administrator, moving on to sales and then to production control and supervisor roles in manufacturing.
This led me to a career in Procurement in the Automotive sector for a large USA based corporation, which gave me fantastic skills base in Planning, Project management, Procurement, Continuous Improvement and management.
These core skills have allowed me to easily move across industries ranging from Consumer products, Hardware, Food packaging machinery and Aged Care.
Always keen to learn new skills I have completed courses or experiences in: Kanban, Six Sigma, BOM Cost analysis, OHS&E, Advance Product Quality Planning (APQP), Material Requirement Planning (MRP) and Quality Systems: ISO9001, QS9000, TS16949
I returned to major study at RMIT university to achieve a Masters in Strategic Procurement in 2015.
