Nicholas Perrott

General Manager - Commercial

At the heart of great engineering projects are strong partnerships, and Nick Perrott believes contractors, clients and communities can achieve more, together.

'We like building tangible things and being part of projects that work towards the betterment of society. Working alongside people who are passionate about what they do, leaders in their field, within a cohesive team establishes a platform where great things can be achieved. Our desire is to leave the communities in which we work better for the work that we do.'

Nick has 20 years of experience across engineering projects and more recently renewables. Nick was drawn to the sector because of the opportunity to affect long-term change for a better future - for the environment, for more affordable and efficient energy, and for jobs.
