David Giles

Our humble Dave is one of the longest standing staff, originally hired in 2003 to improve computer equipment, systems and mentor staff in IT. Now Dave is our essential ‘jack of all trades’  with no task too big or small – solving a crashing computer system or fixing the seal on the fridge.

Hailing from the UK, Dave has worked in the corporate sector for names such as Coles Myer, Telstra and Honeywell, as well as for the UK Navy Army Air Force Institutes (N.A.A.F.I). Dave’s Certificate IV in Assessment & Workplace Training, advanced MS Office and data processing skills and tireless trouble-shooting, make him a key component of the EcoCentres’ operations. Dave fulfils valuable data monitoring, analysis and presentation of both the organisation’s internal energy performance and for numerous project reports and research.

When Dave isn’t solving a problem, you can find him winning a game of pool down at the local pub.

The EcoCentre acknowledges the Kulin Nations, including the Yalukut Weelam clan of the Boon Wurrung language group, traditional owners of the land on which we are located.

We pay respects to their Elders past and present, and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Elder members of our multicultural community.
