Mahesh brings a highly skilled approach to his work. His experience working with construction teams, coupled with a strong technical background means he can ensure the delivery teams understand their obligations under contract and specification requirements and can track their progress throughout the project phases. Most recently in my role as Project Director on Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport SBT Project I saw first hand Mahesh’s ability to work with multiple external stakeholders including the follow on contractor (SSTOM), adjacent projects (SCAW) as well as the Independent Safety Assessor and NAC to achieve a successful project completion

It has been my pleasure to know Mahesh for circa 20 years where we first met on the Lane Cove Tunnel project. His role at the time was tunnel design manager, reporting to me as the Project Construction Director. During this time Mahesh always displayed a thorough and in-depth knowledge of design/ engineering principles that spearheaded the timely delivery of design ahead of construction and ..
Terry Sleiman
Exec Project Director -CPB Contractors
Mahesh worked directly for me on Canberra Light Rail Stage 2A project from early 2024 until late 2025, leading the Systems and Safety Assurance team. Under his leadership, he has ensured that all relevant SESA requirements have been included as part of the design process which have then been migrated, where relevant, into the construction process to enable an efficient project close out process.
This has set up the project for success.
