International recognition for Australian Project Manager

Steve Gibson is the first Australian to be named on the list in the 29-year history of the awards.

Mr Gibson is the first Australian to be named on the list in the 29-year history of the awards. “I’ve been working in project management for more than a decade and this is far and away my number one career highlight,” he said. Mr Gibson made it to the final round after winning the Queensland, Australian and South Pacific titles, where he competed against at least 70 other candidates. Winners will be announced at the International Project Management Association World Conference in Panama on 28-30 September. Mr Gibson will be competing against project managers from South Korea and Hungary. “I can’t wait to mix with project managers from around the globe and even if I don’t win the award, top three in the world is still pretty good!” He received the accolade as recognition for his work on sewage network rehabilitation in Wooloongabba. This project also recently won the Australasian Society for Trenchless Technology’s New Installation Project of the Year award at No-Dig Down Under. The rehabilitation work was part of Queensland Urban Utilities $82 million flagship project, which was delivered ahead of schedule and $3.7 million under budget.
