Passionate Employees
The exemplary work for which
John Holland has regularly
been recognised—including
the NCE/ITA International
Tunnelling Contractor of the
Year award for work on the
Northern Sewerage Project—
wouldn’t have been nearly
as successful without the
dedication of John Holland’s
staff.
“A lot of people aspire to
work for John Holland,” said
Petersen. “People like to
be a part of the process of
providing solutions to tough
problems and following up
by completing those projects;
this is the basis of employee
engagement here.”
“We’re in a unique period of
our history at John Holland,”
Banger shared. “A person
interested in joining our
company has a range of
options across departments
and projects. We’re looking
to expand and grow a lot
in the next five years, and
we’re looking forward to the
team we can put together to
accomplish these goals.”
What’s Next?
John Holland will continue to
evolve going into the future.
Its acquisition by China
Communications Construction
Company International
Holdings (CCCI), a large
international infrastructure
and construction company
based in Hong Kong, has
given the company enormous
opportunity to export its
expertise, which the company
will do by leveraging its
heritage and strengths from
the past and setting a solid
strategic plan for the future.“The Australian marketplace
has its ups and downs, so
the secret to successful and
sustainable operations in our
sector is diversity. Our diverse
engineering skills across the
infrastructure, building, and
rail sectors along with the
global reach and resources
of our new parent company
gives us the diverse platform
we need to build the John
Holland business both in
Australia and other selected
countries around the world,”
said Petersen.June 2018 | VENTURE Innovation | 35
