He became a foreman in the Buildings Branch of the Queensland Public Works Department from March 1873 and had a varied career on court, police, school and defence buildings until 1881 when he seems to have briefly gone in to business on his own account at West End, Brisbane, applying to the Works Department for re-employment in April 1884.
