Leslie was one of the founding members of the revitalised Infrastructure Division, joining as an Associate Director in May 2018. His enthusiasm for major transport-related projects is contagious and has been instrumental to the success in building this area of the business from a standing start, to where it is today. From an initial commission with Cross Yarra Partnership on the Melbourne Metro Project, Leslie has built relationships with clients in Government leading to successful commissions on projects such as the Suburban Road Upgrade Project (MRPV), the Caulfield to Rowville Light Rail Project (DEDJTR) and more recently the SSRIP project with Regional Roads Victoria. His bubbly and enthusiastic approach to everything he does, together with his professional approach to the delivery of each commission, has contributed significantly to the growth in the Infrastructure Division. These qualities make Leslie an ideal candidate for the position of Director and the future growth of this sector for DCWC as a whole. We congratulate him on his contributions to date and look forward to seeing more success stories from him for many years to come.
