Miles Alexander has been appointed Communications, Marketing and Public Affairs Lead - Infrastructure, Australia at global engineering, construction, and project management firm, Bechtel. He made the move after more than five and a half years at Thrive PR + Communications, where he was most recently Group Account Director.
In the newly created role for the region, Miles will help promote and build Bechtel's reputation within Australia's infrastructure and engineering sector. His remit will span the full marketing communications gamut including media relations, executive thought leadership, owned and paid media strategy, strategic partnerships, and industry engagement.
On the new role, Miles said: "I'm incredibly excited to be stepping into this new role within Bechtel's global Infrastructure business. Few companies can point to a legacy of shaping nations through infrastructure, and in Australia that legacy began more than 70 years ago and includes some of the country’s most transformative projects in energy and mining as well as the soon-to-be-opened Western Sydney International Airport.
"For a communications professional, the opportunity to help tell the stories behind projects of such scale and significance is a privilege.
"I'm looking forward to shining a spotlight on the extraordinary people across Bechtel whose expertise is helping customers deliver critical infrastructure that creates jobs, strengthens economies, enhances resilience, expands access to energy and essential services, and leaves a lasting positive impact for communities."
