Global engineering and technical services company Aurecon on Thursday announced the appointment of Deloitte Australia CEO Giam Swiegers as CEO of the company with effect from February 1, 2015.

Swiegers, who would be based in the company’s Sydney office, would succeed Aurecon CFO Anthony McCusker who had stepped in as acting CEO following the resignation of former CEO Paul Hardy in March.

“After an extensive global search for a new CEO, we are delighted that Giam will be joining Aurecon. He has an outstanding record as a CEO and is a great cultural fit for us as a business,” Aurecon chairperson Teddy Daka commented, adding that Swiegers’ South African background and experience in the US and Australia would tie in well with the company’s footprint in Australia and Africa.

“His record in building a great culture and an agile, growing business are a great strategic fit for us as an expanding global business,” Daka said.

“This is an exciting time to take a global role in a leading engineering company with the ability to be agile in the market. The sector is experiencing unparalleled change and offers immense opportunities for a company like Aurecon, which is already leading in technology-driven innovation and in tailoring its services to meet client needs around the entire infrastructure life cycle,” Swiegers commented.
