Over the years, his dedication and expertise led to his recognition as Employee of the Year in 2017, followed by several promotions through the ranks with his focus on ensuring that all projects were delivered on time, met regulatory standards and maintained the highest levels of quality. Russell now plays a pivotal role in the strategic planning and delivery of projects across all regions as Technical Director.
