Hamilton joined Macmahon's construction business in 2005 as the Queensland state manager and recently held the position of construction east executive general manager.

Mark has more than 30 years experience in the construction and resources services sector, having held roles with companies including Walter Construction, Leighton Contractors and Shell Gabon Limited, both in Australia and overseas.

Reporting directly to the chief executive officer, the position will mirror the structure currently in place for Macmahon’s mining business.

A decision has also been made to appoint a senior Macmahon manager to the role of Mongolia general manager.

Neil Wilson has accepted the position of Mongolia GM and will transfer to the international mining business.

"The resulting simplification of the group executive structure will provide operational efficiencies without compromising the company's focus on safety in delivering its diverse range of projects," Macmahon CEO Nick Bowen said.
