Background & Experience  


 

Joining Rotation Solutions after 14 years in the travel industry, Emma has expanded on her already impressive skill set by adding several new strings to her bow.  

 

Originally from Merredin, a small farming community in WA’s Wheatbelt, Emma has come a long way from the town’s dusty plains and paddocks to her high-flying role with RS.  

 

After moving to Perth and landing her first city gig at a local Bottle Shop, Em then progressed into the world of travel. 

 

“Coming from Merredin, it was either go into farming or a family business, so as my first career path, travel held a lot of new options,” she said.  

 

“I had maybe ten different roles over my time in the travel industry, and we had a few crazy holidays, but at times I just felt like a cog in the machine.” 

 

 “During COVID, I went from standdown to redundancy with Flight Centre, and having been the flight booker for Dane and Steve at RS, they approached me and said, ‘we don’t actually have a job for you, and we don’t know what you’ll be doing, but we want you onboard’.” 

 

 “And the rest is history.” 

 

So, What Makes RS A Good Workplace? 


 

“I came onboard with RS as an Operations Specialist initially, and my job description has been changing ever since”, she laughed.  

 

“It was absolutely wild; it’s never happened to me before; it’s amazing to see how the guys recognise what they need and just go get it!” 

 

Em outlined the flexibility and openness of RS as a couple of the company’s strong points, with any roadblocks or issues always on the table for honest discussion.  

 

“Every day is different, and I’ve learned a lot on the fly,” she continued.  

 

“It took me a while to get out of the big business mindset, to roll with the punches and be more fluid.” 

 

“But, to be involved in high-level conversations now is great! You can have a direct impact on things here and make a difference – the role is your own.” 

 

“We’re a very inclusive team, and everyone is encouraged to point out recommendations for improvement and to pursue out-of-the-box thinking.”  

 

What’s On the Horizon for You?  


 

“For me, it’s been a natural progression into payroll and analysis of the numbers.”   

 

“I’d like to take the lead with finance and help with management reports – that would be cool – and people management would be interesting.”  

 

“RS is a business that really has the potential to grow, and I think big things are on the horizon.”  

 

“There is an amazing range of skills here; everyone gets along, we have fun and still get shit done; it’s one of the best teams I’ve been involved in.”
