Engineering, design and construction contractor Decmil Australia has appointed Jonathan Holmes as executive general manager, as current managing director Ray Sputore prepares to exit the business.
Mr Holmes will commence in the newly-created role from July. He was formerly operations manager east for John Holland Minerals and Industrial, based in Brisbane.
The appointment is part of a succession plan developed by Decmil after Mr Sputore informed the board he would like to “transition out of the business”.
Mr Sputore will remain as a director of Decmil Australia.
“Under Ray Sputore’s leadership over the past two years, Decmil Australia has achieved revenue growth and profitability,” Decmil chief executive Scott Criddle said.
“Ray’s experience, abilities, and industry network have been invaluable in taking Decmil Australia to the next level.”
At close of trade today, Decmil shares were up 2.1 per cent, trading at $1.67.
