Critical hires we've secured

Senior Director of Construction - Executive & C-Level - Mining & Metals - Brisbane Australia

Senior Director of Construction - Executive & C-Level - Mining & Metals - Brisbane, Australia

A leading player in the Australian resources sector sought a Senior Director of Construction to spearhead executive leadership across large-scale mining and metals projects. The role demanded deep expertise in mineral processing, advanced engineering, and managing complex construction within the sector. Our search targeted candidates with proven success in delivering industrial projects from conception to completion, particularly those adept at operational optimisation and navigating evolving technical requirements.
 
After a focused headhunting process, we identified and secured a senior executive with over fifteen years’ experience in global mining and large capital projects. This candidate demonstrated exceptional capabilities in project delivery, team leadership, and stakeholder engagement, aligning with the client’s strategic vision for sustainable growth. Their impact was immediate—driving innovation in project execution, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and fostering collaboration between technical teams and executive leadership to support ongoing business objectives.

Testimonials

We have been partnering with Airswift for our workforce solutions service and we are very satisfied with their dedications and efficiency.
I was only with Airswift for 6 months and I lost count of how many calls I received from them to see how I was going. I was lucky to get a call from other recruiters. My new job will be direct but I would definitely use Airswift again in the future.
All the people I was in contact with were outstanding, friendly and always helpful, I made my life a lot easier. I would most definitely want to work with Airswift in the future. Cheers.
Airswift was very helpful and communications were always prompt, I could not find any fault with the Airswift operation.
