INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE | E17 | John Basilisco on European work adventures and working with his hero’s.

In this episode I am joined by John Basilisco, NSW State Manager with ADCO Constructions. I’ve known John for quite some time and anyone who knows him, knows was a great guy he is. He is a true gentleman and infectiously positive. John spent his early career dedicated to the pursuit of the biggest and best projects, a purist that lead to some fantastic travels and experiences that John shares with us in this Podcast. In this episode we talk about: - John’s early career, his pivot from Architecture to site and how Lendlease gave him a fantastic grounding in the industry. - We talk about John’s willingness to push himself to look for new challenges that took him from Queanbeyan to Sydney, Perth and Melbourne. - The leaders and mentors that left an impression on John, fuelling his creativity and positive attitude. - His work travels around the UK and Italy, working with his hero’s Richard Rogers and Sir Nicholas Grimshaw, and driving speed boats on Lake Como. - How a breakfast meeting with Ray O’Rourke lead him to work with Laing O’Rourke on the iconic One Hyde Park and with the luxury developers Candy and Candy. - Why John thinks it’s so important to always be yourself and some great career advice in COVID times.
