Manage episode 337505366 series 3382174
In this episode I am joined by Jeremy Blackwell, General Manager of Building, Airports & Defence at Laing O’Rourke. Jeremy is a highly energetic and inquisitive leader and offers us advice, experience and ideas from a career that spans a diversity of roles, sectors and locations.
In this episode we talk about:
- How Jeremy went from being a Metropolitan Planner in the public service to working for a global building and infrastructure contractor.
- We talk about leadership and how authentic leadership principles are driven from the top in Laing O’Rourke.
- We talk about diversity, about Jeremys own personal experience, how far the industry has come and how much further we need to go in diversity to create a more sustainable industry.
- We talk about different contracting models and LOR’s successes with the W2B Delivery Partnership and the NSW Bushfires Make Safe and Clean Up Program. Including the benefits of collaboration, the opportunity in manufacturing and the legacy benefits these types of contracts generate for others.
- Finally, Jeremey tells us why he is excited by the future and the confluence of urbanisation, infrastructure and the digital world.
