20+ years of
getting it done

Hamish founded HGM Construction in 2006 at the age of 19. With 4 years in the industry already under his belt, he recognised an opportunity to deliver more practical, simple, yet innovative solutions to some of the toughest civil construction challenges.

25 years on, Hamish’s passion for the industry remains as strong as ever. What he loves most is the variety of work, the epic places construction has taken him to and the incredible people he has had the opportunity to meet along the way. Building lasting relationships while delivering meaningful projects is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.

A huge highlight has been HGM reaching its 20th anniversary in business. Hamish enjoys taking projects from the initial enquiry/ request for tender through to planning and execution and delivering a high quality finished product to our clients.

Outside of work, Hamish (aka the Big Cheese) enjoys spending time with his wife, Katy and two children tackling projects around the house and traveling.

Ben manages our team of dedicated staff ensuring our projects are adequately resourced and our team are equipped with the tools required to get the job done. He is also a talented and driven project manager carrying our projects through the project life cycle and delivering high quality outcomes for our clients.

After completing his certificate in carpentry in residential construction, he was craving a bit more work variety and HGM was the perfect fit to be able to deliver on this. After 11 years working in the Construction industry (6 with HGM), there are numerous memorable projects he is proud of however stepping away from the tools and in to the Operations & Project Management role has been a huge highlight.

Outside of work Ben enjoys keeping fit at the gym, fishing, camping and being outdoors with his two Jack Russells at his side.

After completing a degree in finance and working 5 years in the financial services industry, Katy traded in her high heels and joined HGM bringing a wealth of expertise to the business. Over the past decade, she has played a pivotel role across finance, health and safety, human resources, quality assurance and environmental compliance.

With additional qualifications in Health and Safety and HR Management, Katy has developed and implemented the systems and processes to underpin the smooth day-to-day operation and continued growth of HGM.

One of her proudest achievements has been building HGM’s health and safety framework, providing the foundation for the team to safely deliver such a diverse range of complex civil construction projects.

Outside of work, Katy is a busy Mum and enjoys spending time with her Husband, Hamish and their two children. She loves keeping active though the gym and Crossfit and when she’s not there, you’ll often find her in the vege garden or enjoying the outdoors.

Johanna is the glue that holds the team together and someone the team can rely on to keep things organised. She enjoys supporting the team, solving problems and helping with bringing projects together behind the scenes.

With over 8 year’s experience in the industry, particularly in the field of health and safety, Johanna plays a key role in project planning, administration and operational support. Her proactive approach helps maintain the high standards the business is known for.

Outside of work Johanna enjoys going for bush walks and spending time outdoors.

Mike says he was born with diesel in his veins so it isn’t surprising he has pursued a career in transport and machinery operation. Mike has 20+ years in the heavy transport industry driving trucks up to 60 tonnes and since joining HGM , has thrived on the variety of work and breath taking scenery his role has taken him to.

He takes pride in ensuring our large fleet is well maintained and looking sharp, making sure vehicles are reliable, safe and well presented.

Outside of work he enjoys spending time with his partner, getting outdoors and tending to his vege garden. He also enjoys mountain biking and surf casting.

Joseph has a reputation for solving problems others can’t. A natural “ fix- it” person, he is a qualified Engineer, skilled in fabrication, machinery maintenance and keeping the fleet operating at peak performance.

He got in to engineering to learn how to weld and pickup practical skills that can be used both in and outside of work and found HGM to be a great place to expand on these skills and develop new ones. He thrives on using a practical, hands on approach to keep the wheels turning and get the job done. He also enjoys the variety the role offers and the split between time on site and time in the workshop.

Outside of work he enjoys getting out in the garden, going tramping and making coffee at home.
