David plays a critical role in Altrad Australia’s success as our Commercial Director. With over 30 years of experience, including nearly 20 in Australia, he brings extensive industry knowledge and strategic insight. His unwavering commitment to compliance ensures that Altrad operates with the highest ethical standards and adheres to all regulations.

Drawing from his specialism in providing contractual and commercial advice across sectors such as civil engineering, resources, and marine, David focuses on maximising revenue and identifying opportunities, while effectively minimising costs and risks. By fostering a unified approach across all divisions, he creates strong synergies that enhance overall profitability.

Beyond his role, David is a respected expert in his field. He provides specialist opinions on complex cost matters (including quantum) and has served as an Expert Witness and Adjudicator in over 50 disputes in Australia, demonstrating his deep understanding of construction conflicts – an understanding he now uses within Altrad Australia for the purpose of dispute avoidance rather than dispute resolution.
