Strauss, a Principal Civil Engineer with over 13 years’
experience, has a forward-thinking approach to management that
embraces the region’s economic climate, and is excited by the
prospects in the region.
Says Strauss, "These are exciting times for Bunbury, as it is one
of the fastest growing regions in Western Australia (WA), and
boasts a wealth of opportunities. GHD is currently involved in
several major projects including the New Perth to Bunbury Highway,
Bunbury Business Park, MillBridge Private Estate and the Harvey
Pipe Project. We also have a continued involvement in several
upgrade projects in the residue drying area at Worsley
Alumina."
GHD is pursuing an active growth strategy as part of the company’s
commitment to meeting the increasing needs of clients in the
region, both in the public and private sector.
"We are ideally positioned to continue providing multidisciplinary
services to our existing clients, whilst expanding into new
horizons," Strauss says.
"By building on our existing presence in the region, the needs of
our clients will be better serviced. This will involve an expansion
in capabilities and additional staff resources."
Strauss had worked in GHD’s Perth office for over two years in the
Geotechnical group managing a range of multidisciplinary projects,
before being appointed as Office Manager for GHD’s Bunbury
office.
"It is my objective to continue to build on the company’s position
as the foremost professional services provider in the region. I
look forward to leading this fantastic team in Bunbury, backed by
our network of offices throughout WA, into a thriving future and
providing a greater range of services to the region and to our
