Growth in Water Infrastructure

Growth continues with our leading national Water Waste Water partners as infrastructure projects lead the way across the country.

Over the coming months Hugo Lang will have a number of opportunities for leaders at the corporate level and project management level with specialist technical knowledge in design, construction, operations and maintenance in water and civil infrastructure works from small to large scale projects.

Projects are likely to be across resources industry developments as well as the utilities and authorities.

Our industry partners are successful in this sector with a strategic growth plan led by quality leaders with depth and breadth in the industry nationally.  They are focused on building on this success with an effective succession and career development plan with people who fit the company’s culture of maximizing the potential of their best performers.

We will require primarily Civil and Mechanical engineers with in depth end to end project delivery leadership experience in design and construction, from small to large scale projects.  You will need a solution based focus, excellent interpersonal skills for effective negotiations and well developed client relationships, and will likely have participated in alliance leadership teams.  You will have financial management skills from bid process, project budget/s across one or more simultaneous projects, and possibly at a business unit budget or P&L management level. We are looking for future leaders with a focus on career development for succession planning on national management teams, therefore a certain mobility will be expected for some positions.

Knowledge and connections within the local (state) market, and/or the national marketplace within Australia is essential.

If this sounds like you, please email Lois at lois.lange@hli.com.au in the first instance, or call me on 0409 901 480 for a confidential discussion about what you can bring to assist this growth,  how you want your career to develop, and when you are likely to be available during 2010/2011.  We will work with you for mutual timing and fit.

HUGO LANG launches website

Hugo Lang International was formed in 2007 to respond to client needs for a dedicated and tailored executive search service with the objectivity of research and process rigour.

We believe that a bespoke boutique environment enables us to have dedicated systems and to focus on this specialized service.  We are able to optimize performance and consultative service  by providing a high degree of iterative flexibility in delivery to achieve the successful outcomes with our business partners.

Our new website has been developed in response to our clients’ requests for access to information about Hugo Lang when referring our services to their business associates and colleagues, and we thank our clients for their business, their input to our Case Studies and their loyalty.

In response to market conditions, Hugo Lang is targeting new business in the resources and energy sector, including coal seam gas, oil and gas, power, water and infrastructure.

We are aware that demographic trends, skill shortages and sourcing specialized executives are again becoming the human capital focus with the launch of a number of large projects in these sectors, and our services are highly suited to the challenges inherent in identifying and sourcing these executives.

Executives, managers and technical professionals who are able to make cross sector transitions, particularly from other resource areas into the oil and gas, and coal seam gas and water sectors within Australia, will be highly regarded.   Initiatives to facilitate cross sector training and transitions will require the cooperation of industry, industry bodies, tertiary institutions and executive search firms, in order to recognize and respond the shifts in our current workforce and optimize these opportunities.
