David Stewart stepped down from his role at Leighton last year after 25 years at the firm.
He has now joined O’Rourke in a senior executive role based at the firm’s head office in Dartford where Stewart will work with Roger Robinson, CEO of the Europe Hub, across major projects in the UK and Canada.
Ray O’Rourke, Chairman and Group Chief Executive said: “David will bring his wealth of heavy infrastructure experience gained over 35 years in the construction industry and, as a member of the Group’s senior team, will accelerate our ambitions to become a world-class engineering enterprise.”
Stewart is a civil engineer by profession with experience of managing large international contracting operations throughout Australia, South East Asia and the Middle East in mining, power and transportation.
