Clive Ross has been appointed as Aurecon’s Head of Asset Management. 

Reporting to Chief Business Development Officer, Stephen Wells, Clive is based in Aurecon’s Brisbane office and will be responsible for developing the company’s asset management capability in conjunction with leaders across the business.

Stephen Wells, Chief Business Development Officer, commented, “Aurecon already has a number of pockets of excellence in asset management across our global operations. A clear opportunity exists to consolidate these and develop an enhanced asset management offering that maximises our ability to delivery for clients and extends the services we offer beyond studies and project delivery into long term recurring asset management contracts.”

Clive joins Aurecon from Forge Group, where he was responsible for growing the Asset Management business in Australia, Africa and the USA.

Prior to this, Clive worked for many years with UGL, latterly as Executive General Manager, Asset Services Group, which provided maintenance, turnarounds and capital works services to a range of clients across the mining, minerals processing and hydrocarbons sectors.  This role followed several years in a number of other leadership roles within UGL. Clive has also worked extensively within the manufacturing sector having held maintenance and engineering leadership roles with PaperlinX, Silcar and CSR.

Clive said, “I am excited to be joining Aurecon - the work that has already been undertaken in the roads / pavements, water infrastructure and electrical distribution sectors provides a great platform to build and consolidate our asset management offering.  Asset Management will enhance our ability not only to deliver world class designs, but also to positively impact reliability and maintainability and improve the operational performance of these assets over their entire life cycle.”
