The Executive Team
When you become a part of the Coffey Testing Executive Team, you oversee operations from all regions in Australia and have a substantial impact in the decision making process when it comes to the nature of the business.
Coffey Testing’s executive team is responsible for providing strategic and operational support to the greater team.
The team operates as an interdependent, collaborative decision-making body – strategically executing the company’s mission and vision throughout everything that they do.
Our Mission: “We work with the best because not only the best want what Coffey Testing can provide… peace of mind.”
Our Vision: To be the leading materials testing company, driving demand for quality results through the performance and expertise of our people.
Starting out at the company as a Clean Lab Manager in 2003, throughout the years, Dawn’s hard work and dedication to the company lead her to various roles in Operations Management, through to 2019, where she became the only female Chief Executive Officer in a Construction Materials Testing organisation.
Throughout her time working for the company, Dawn really appreciates the structure that the business has adopted to promote internally, “Anyone who is motivated to move through the ranks will be given a fair go.”
