Meet the Annual Connection Team

 

Warren Hedley, Line Mechanic Competition Manager

Warren’s history with Annual Connection dates back 20 years to 2004 when he competed in the line mechanic competition, taking out a couple of first places in different contests.

He then took on a judging role for eight years, before stepping up to line mechanic competition manager.

“I’m thoroughly loving this role, firstly because I’m very passionate about the industry and, secondly, it gives me endless exposure and opportunities to meet and work with such a great team of people.

“That’s in the organising committee, but also in the companies and the people involved, as well as the industry sponsors,” Warren says.

“My role is to design the events our teams are competing in, but I do have a very valuable support network who keep me grounded and make sure I don’t get carried away!”

Warren has worked in the electricity supply industry for more than 30 years, starting as a trainee before moving on to a wide range of roles including running line crews as well as “planning and overseeing all types of everyday and project tasks we come across in the industry”.

His current role is Field Operations Manager with Omexom, where he has been for the past 11 years.

“Annual Connection is a great event and a great way for the industry to get together each year to learn from each other. I’m very grateful to be such a big part of it.

“Don’t be shy. If you see me there and want a chat, just call out. I’m also known as Woz or Big Fulla.”
