Our People

We have taken the time and care to build a talented and dedicated team, and to cultivate a culture based on genuinely held values.

Our brand represents the collective talent and commitment of a large and diverse group of people across an extensive range of disciplines.

Our related companies provide us with the ability to draw upon a pool of almost 200 talented employees. This gives us the capacity to deliver large-scale projects that demand big project teams and a depth of experience, expertise and skill.

We employ some of the best people in the industry and are exceptionally good at retaining them - our unplanned staff turnover rate is 2% - this enables us to resource our projects with a very stable, loyal and reliable workforce.
