24 June 2019
Arup Australasia has recognised
the expertise and experience of its people,
appointing three as new
Region Board members and promoting five others to the senior position of
Principal.
Region Chair Peter Chamley congratulated the group as leaders with
strong reputations, committed to excellence and integrity.
The new Board members are Kate West who leads Arup’s Consulting Group in
Western Australia and manages major
transport projects; Kerryn Coker, a
Sydney-based project director who heads the Building Specialists team;
and Joseph Correnza, the
Melbourne Office Leader and an experienced project leader and
structural designer.
“Kate West, Kerryn Coker and Joseph Correnza join the Board as highly
regarded professionals who have worked on complex city-shaping projects
locally and internationally,” Mr Chamley said.
“They will bring diversity of thought, and a wide range of personal and
professional skills and experiences to the Board.”
Arup is unique among large consulting firms: it is independent with a
trust structure and no individual shareholders or external investors.
All Region Board members are chosen from within the organisation.
“At Arup, we value our independence. It allows us to set our own
direction and choose work that aligns with our values. We thrive on
collaborating with clients on ambitious projects that will set new
standards and have positive societal impacts,” Mr Chamley said.
“ The Board will provide strong strategic direction-setting and
decision-making to ensure exceptional quality of service to clients as
we develop and deliver their projects, and the well-being and
development of staff. ”
“We are working on plans that consider, and respond to, future market
conditions and our direction includes aligning our activities with the
United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals both across the business
and in the work we do with our clients.”
Mr Chamley congratulated the new Principals, who play important
leadership roles across the Region. They are Ryan Andriessen,
who has led the multidisciplinary design of many complex building and
transport projects; David Harding, who heads major
urban transport and precinct developments, working with multiple
stakeholders; Andrew Lewis whose speciality is digital engineering and
information management for major projects; Joyanne Manning,
best known for her expertise in the increasingly important resource and
waste management sector; and JingFeng Xu, an
experienced project director who heads the successful specialist
technical group in Singapore.
Arup’s expertise is the
built environment – cities, buildings,
transport, energy and
water – employing designers, planners, engineers, consultants and
technical specialists.
The Region encompasses Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Indonesia and
Malaysia.
