Meet Fiji's new Country Manager - Ronil Raj
Ronil Raj has been appointed as Country Manager – Fiji, where he will support the continued growth of our business in the Pacific.
"Our office has a very inclusive and diverse team, which contributes to the strength of GHD’s capabilities in Fiji. Taking on this role, my aims are to drive strategic and sustainable growth in the country, enhance the client experience and help our people develop professionally in their careers,” Ronil says.
GHD in Fiji consists of 16 people, delivering projects in the defence, transport, water, international development assistance, and environmental sectors. During the pandemic, our Fiji team has collaborated on projects with our regional teams from New Zealand Australia and the Philippines.
"GHD has long experience in partnering with regional clients in the Pacific to deliver infrastructure and developmental outcomes that leave a lasting community benefit. Along with our other Pacific offices in Papua New Guinea, Guam, Hawaii, and larger operations in Australia, New Zealand and the Americas, our Fiji team are an integral part of GHD’s regional capability. Ronil’s experience will clearly help us to strengthen and build our market position and client delivery in the South Pacific” says Ben White, Operations Manager, APAC who has been supporting the emerging markets growth strategy and regional operations over the past five years.
Ronil is the first Fijian to lead our team in Fiji. “Born and raised in Tavua, Fiji, coming from an agricultural family background, it was challenge growing up to think that there were other possibilities in life. But with a strong sense of ambition, I applied myself and studied hard which opened up new opportunities. My previous roles in Tenix New Zealand, Water Authority of Fiji, Palladium, GRM International and the University of the South Pacific gave me the experience to be part of, and contribute to, GHD as we continue to grow in Fiji.”
Since joining GHD, Ronil has worked as a Senior Engineer and then as the Infrastructure Delivery Team Leader on projects for aviation, defence, public and private clients in Fiji and the South Pacific region.
