Watson has been with the resource sector company since 2010, responsible for the Australia West, Africa and Americas regions.

“His depth of experience and proven leadership in running both our Australian and international regions over the last four years provides a strong foundation to continue to deliver Sedgman’s position as a leading provider of solutions to the global resources industry,” he says.

Watson says he looks forward to leading the next stage of the company’s development.

He commences the new role at the start of June, replacing Nick Jukes who is retiring from the company.

“To ensure a seamless transition a comprehensive handover process will occur during May and Nick will remain available to assist until his retirement at the end of June,” Kempnich says.
