INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE | E12 | Ish Ahuja on Infrastructure Investment, Project Controls and some wise words.

In this episode I am joined by Ish Ahuja, Planning and Project Controls Manager NSW & ACT, National Infrastructure Team at John Holland. Ish is passionate about infrastructure and a trailblazer in the Project Controls space. In this episode we talk about: - How Ish came to Australia with Laing O’Rourke in 2010 when Project Controls was in its infancy in as a discipline. - The incredible outlook for infrastructure investment and some wise words around balancing getting the right projects to market at the right speed to help lift us out of the current recession. - Why he expects the end of 2020 to be incredibly busy with a backlog of projects coming to market. - The shortage of skills in the planning and project controls space and the opportunity to develop up and coming engineers for the future. - How John Holland is creating a culture where complex project challenges are seen as opportunities rather than problems. - The difference between Scheduling, Planning and Project Controls. - Why he is excited about building the project for the next generation and his own children.
