Leading international professional services company GHD has
appointed Lochlan Gibson as Operating Centre Manager, Tasmania,
which encompasses offices in Hobart and Launceston.
Gibson is an Environmental Consultant with over 12 years’
experience in the oil, gas and mining industries within Australia
and abroad. He has significant health, safety and environmental
consultancy and risk assessment skills, and considerable
international experience acquired in the Middle East, USA,
Indonesia and Trinidad. He joined GHD in 2004, and previously
managed GHD’s Environmental and Planning Business Group in Southern
Queensland. In this role he successfully introduced new Urban
Design/Landscape Architecture, Sustainability and Stakeholder
Consultation teams, creating significant business growth.
2007 marks the 70th year of GHD operations in Tasmania. Gibson
plans to capitalize on the company’s strong track record as well as
growth opportunities presented by the expansion of Tasmania’s
mining and industry sectors.
Says Gibson, "GHD’s 70th year in Tasmania is a milestone for our
business. I want to build on our position as the foremost
professional services provider in Tasmania, and expand into new
areas like management and environment consulting. Staff numbers in
Tasmania have tripled over the last three years, and we plan to
open a new regional office in North West Tasmania within the next
12 months. This gives us capabilities and additional staff
resources to better serve both public and private sector
clients."
Gibson takes over the role of David Kinniburgh, who moves onto a
new role as Operations Manager for GHD’s Sydney Operating
Centre.
GHD employs 6000 people in a network of offices throughout
Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas.
