Ilan Sebban • November 18, 2025
Context
The Wyaralong upgrade expanded a critical water treatment facility to meet population growth and regional supply demands. The project required multidisciplinary design integration between mechanical, civil, and process engineering teams.
The Challenge
The principal contractor required a Design Manager with experience bridging engineering design, compliance and construction interface. The ideal profile needed both technical depth and the ability to manage stakeholder alignment across multiple delivery partners.
Our Engagement
Rec-Partners conducted a focused search using AI-assisted sourcing and behavioural assessment to identify candidates with proven water-sector design experience. Advisory involvement refined technical scope and supported a transparent selection process.
Outcome
- Strategic appointment of Design Manager within 4 weeks
- Strengthened coordination between engineering and construction
- Enhanced design governance and program delivery confidence
