Damien’s father, Kevin Taylor is an Aboriginal spokesperson within the community and wellknown sports identity throughout WA.

Damien’s Elders hold significant standing with the people and communities around New Norcia, Three Springs, and the Great Mid-West region of WA since the late 19th century and into the early 20th century.

Damien has been working in the industry for more than 15 years. He has the requisite skills and process knowledge to deliver quality business outcomes. Having worked “on the tools” and in a supervisory capacity in many Tier 1 project environments, he respects health and safety objectives balanced with clients’ productivity and quality expectations.
