Fulton Hogan is realigning its senior leadership team into two streams following the departure of former chief executive officer Robert Jones who left the company in June after two years at the helm.
The company’s managing director Nick Miller says Fulton Hogan is appointing Graeme Johnson to the position of chief executive officer – NZ regional business and Domenic De-Fazio to the position of chief executive officer – NZ Construction.
Miller says that Johnson and De-Fazio are Fulton Hogan employees with nearly 30 years’ collective experience within the company.
“Fulton Hogan is realigning its New Zealand leadership into two streams – regional business, and construction,” says Miller.
“Working closely together, Johnson and De-Fazio will deliver an integrated end to end service and innovative technologies that meet the needs of customers today and in the future,” he says.
According to Miller, Johnson has held several senior management roles within Fulton Hogan, most recently as South Island general manager responsible for six of the companies South Island regional businesses and a staff of more than 1600 people.
“He has worked across many parts of the firm in New Zealand and Fiji, giving him a solid understanding of Fulton Hogan’s different operations,” says Miller.
“Graeme Johnson is well known for his ability to develop collaborative teams which have strong relationships with Fulton Hogan’s customers and the community,” he says.
De-Fazio was most recently the general manager – Southern Construction (Victoria and Tasmania) where he led the business’ diversification into rail, water and airports.
“Under his leadership, Fulton Hogan secured many significant projects, including over A$1 billion of rail work. Dominic also led Fulton Hogan’s first major project in Queensland, expanding the company’s construction footprint beyond Victoria, and was one of the companies’ first Australian alliance leaders,” says Miller.
“During his 16 years with Fulton Hogan, Dominic has worked on diverse projects that have given him a keen understanding of the value of working together as one collaborative team,” he says.
