About our utilities team

Our team offer expertise in strategic planning, ECI/Toc/Alliance collaborative contracting models to design and deliver water and wastewater asset reliability and renewals, bulk water asset upgrades, capital infrastructure projects and network rehabilitation and replacement services in regional and metropolitan areas.

It is an exciting time for our team in Melbourne and nationally, we have won several large framework contacts including the ABK JV where we have been appointed as one of two Integrated Capital Works Planning and Delivery Partners for South East Water’s record AUD$1.5 billion investment in major capital projects.

Additionally, we are involved in Yarra Valley Water’s Delivery Reliability Program and have ongoing work with Barwon Water and other clients. With a strong pipeline of projects ahead, it’s a great time to join our growing Melbourne team as we continue building a team that will help to drive our continued success.
