Asia Pacific engineering consultancy Aurecon has appointed John Anderson as Market Director, Manufacturing & Industry, Asia. In this newly established regional leadership role, John will lead Aurecon’s Manufacturing & Industry sector across the region, helping clients deliver resilient, efficient facilities that can adapt to changing operational and market demands.
With over 30 years of consulting engineering experience in Asia since relocating to Thailand in 1995, John brings deep technical expertise and proven project execution capability. His extensive portfolio spans industrial and manufacturing facilities, high-rise developments, healthcare and education, hospitality data centres and major infrastructure.
This broad cross-sector experience provides a strategic advantage to industrial clients whose facilities increasingly demand the resilience of mission-critical buildings, the precision of controlled environments and the quality of modern workplaces.
“John’s appointment reinforces Aurecon’s commitment to attracting top industry talent who share our passion for engineering a better future. His deep technical expertise, strong client relationships and proven leadership in managing complex industrial projects will be invaluable as we help our clients navigate an evolving market,” said Gabe Carter, Chief Executive, Asia.
Operating as an integrated regional business across Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia, Aurecon leverages shared leadership, digital tools and consistent quality standards. Clients expanding across Asia can work with one integrated team to access coordinated expertise and bring high-performance facilities to market faster.
“I am excited to join Aurecon at such a pivotal time for manufacturing and industry in Asia,” said Anderson.
“Having worked across almost every building type, I have seen how the best industrial facilities draw on lessons from across diverse sectors. I look forward to bringing those perspectives to our clients and collaborating with Aurecon’s integrated teams across the region.”
In addition to his leadership roles in the engineering industry, John has been active in the regional business community, including serving as former President of AustCham Thailand.
As manufacturing investment accelerates across the region, Aurecon continues to strengthen its leadership and capability to support long-term, sustainable industrial growth.
