We’re pleased to announce the appointment of James Kelly as our SA Senior Project Manager.
James brings extensive commercial, project, and leadership experience to the Carrabay team, with a strong track record delivering complex projects and leading significant business transformation initiatives.
Most recently, James was in the final stages of delivering a complex, whole-of-business transformation project valued at almost $50 million, following a career spanning senior management and project leadership roles across the construction, manufacturing, and business sectors.
He also brings significant experience from his time leading a major Adelaide-based precast operation, giving him a strong understanding of the South Australian construction industry, as well as the commercial, operational and delivery challenges involved in large-scale projects.
A highly qualified project and commercial professional, James holds an MBA and Master of Project Management from UniSA and is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. Having also studied at the University of Adelaide, James brings strong local knowledge and connections, alongside his extensive commercial experience.
His highly developed business acumen and ability to confidently navigate contracts, budgets, clients, and suppliers will be a valuable addition to our growing South Australian operations.
Our Director described James’s appointment as “a pivotal appointment for the business in South Australia”, particularly as Carrabay continues to build momentum across several significant opportunities in the state.
We’re excited to have James on board and look forward to the experience, leadership, and capability he will bring as Carrabay continues to grow across South Australia.
Welcome to the team, James!
