Recruiting since 2010

Ian came to Aptus in 2013 with recruitment experience already under his belt specifically in rail infrastructure from the UK market. That international perspective, combined with over 13 years embedded in the Australian civil and infrastructure space, has made him one of the most well-connected people in the sector.

He started as a Senior Consultant and worked his way up, Associate Director in 2019, Director in 2026. That kind of progression at one firm doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because you’re genuinely good at what you do, and the people around you; clients, candidates, and colleagues know it.

Ian covers the full spectrum of civil and infrastructure recruitment. Roads, rail, land development, project delivery, engineering and design consultancy if it’s in the civil space, he’s worked in it. He places professionals from graduate level right through to Director, across consultancies, contractors, and government-aligned delivery organisations.

With nearly 18,000 LinkedIn followers, Ian has one of the largest active networks in Australian civil infrastructure recruitment. But the size of the network is just a reflection of the relationships behind it built over more than a decade of knowing the market, knowing the people, and being straight with both.

If you’re a candidate, Ian will give you a clear read on where the market is at, what roles are worth your time, and how to make your next move count. Whether you’re fresh out of uni or looking to step into a leadership role, he’s got the connections and the knowledge to help.

If you’re hiring, Ian understands that civil infrastructure teams are hard to build and even harder to replace. He’ll take the time to understand what your project needs not just the job title, and find the right person for the long term.
