Ross has been the inaugural CEO of Sydney Anglican Property since September 2019. Previously, Ross worked for 29 years in major infrastructure development – 8 years in Government followed by 21 years in engineering consulting with both Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) and global consultancy Jacobs, after it acquired SKM. Ross is one of the NSW Government’s Mentally Healthy Workplace Ambassadors due to the work he has done in changing attitudes and practices towards mental illness in the engineering and construction sectors.
Ross has held a range of domestic, regional and global business leadership, operational, client and project management roles and was a Company Director of Jacobs. He has worked in project management and project governance roles, predominantly on major energy, road and rail transport design and environmental projects, along the full life cycle of the projects, from strategic business case, through concept to detailed design and then construction.
Ross joined Sydney Anglican Property in the hope that the skills and background built up in his secular career might make a difference to the way the Diocese plans, designs, funds and utilises its property assets to have a positive impact on ministry and the communities in which it operates. To this end, Sydney Anglican Property strategically oversees the property portfolio with a view to planning, acquiring, designing and constructing new churches to meet the needs of the growing population of Greater Sydney and the Illawarra. Ross is also progressing initiatives to better utilise existing church assets to include social infrastructure such as social & affordable housing and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) while retaining land ownership.
He is a firm believer that business leaders have an integral role to play in caring for their people in setting the environment for effective mentally healthy workplaces.
