Charlie Grigio

I commenced work in 1974 (PMG), completing an apprenticeship in 1978 as a telephone technician. In 2002, upon leaving Telstra, I qualified as a workplace trainer and assessor with Thornlie TAFE, lecturing in electronics and computer systems. In 2006, I commenced with Romea Training, obtaining qualifications up to certificate IV level in process plant and gas industry operations.

​

Working with Romea Training from 2006, I delivered training to numerous clients in gas operations, safety and technical courses, in the areas of upstream, midstream and downstream, up to certificate IV level. In 2008, I was instrumental in assisting Romea to become a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and was the compliance officer. Upon leaving Romea in 2015, I have developed training material for several companies, including training and assessment strategies for several Australian qualifications.

​

I am a technical writer, having developed course-ware for Romea Training and its clients, as well as developing units of competence for the UEG training package for E-Oz. I have a keen eye for business opportunities, identifying and investigating funding avenues in Australia, then converting the information into sales. I also helped develop Romea Training’s Learning Management System (LMS); this was a very significant cost saving that became a key part of blended learning for Romea Training and their clients.

​

My technical writing has given me a passion to write! What ever comes to mind, who knows, it may turn out interesting...
I have two books partially written to date, one loosely titled ‘A Job for Life’, and the other about life hacks that seem to work…after all, I am about making it better/easier for someone, even me.
