Growing Beca's transport and infrastructure leadership team
28 November 2017
Beca continues to invest in its
transport and infrastructure business with the strategic
hire of four
senior business leaders, completing their client-focussed
leadership
structure.
Headed by Group Director – Transport, Damian Pedreschi, the team now
includes the following people alongside existing General Manager,
Transport and Infrastructure, Stuart Tucker and Operations Manager –
New
Zealand, Clive Richardson:
-
Tracey Ryan, Business Director – Clients and Markets
-
Rachel Fowler, Operations Manager – Australia
-
Connon Andrews, Operations Manager – International
-
Eric Whitfield, Commercial Manager.
With a full team in place, Beca is even better positioned to focus on
bringing the best to their clients, and to continue driving the growth
and success the team has experienced across transport and infrastructure
in New Zealand, Australian and the Pacific.
“We are committed to our clients – we want them to feel supported by the
right team, every time, and to know we are right there beside them
helping to meet their objectives and needs,” said Damian.
He adds Beca has big dreams for making things happen, “Fundamental to
this is the way in which we work together. A solid leadership structure
that reflects the needs of a globally aligned business model allows us
to protect and nurture one of our greatest assets – our people and
culture. We believe introducing this new leadership structure will help
us do this.”
For almost 100 years Beca has transformed the way we fly, drive, train
and boat around our major regions. One of five globally aligned business
groups, Transport and Infrastructure is home to around 600 people
delivering transport and infrastructure solutions across the
Asia-Pacific – from
highways to
bridges and
tunnels to
airports.
Together Beca looks after our operations in New Zealand, Australia,
Fiji, Samoa, Vanuatu, Belize and beyond.
