Andrew Rampton
A Mechanical Engineer by training, Andy’s career in real estate and infrastructure is characterised by three themes:
- Large-scale, complex, project and programme management
- Business transformation and change management
- A passion for shared learning.
Starting out in the rather niche environment of nuclear weapons development, Andy initially spent 10-years in various roles managing the development and procurement of research and manufacturing facilities for one of the UK’s biggest Defence contractors.
Subsequently, Andy spent 6 years working in the emerging Public Finance Initiative / Public Private Partnership marketplace with Skanska and Amey (now Ferrovial), principally involved in the front-end development of programmes in the healthcare and education sectors. During this time Andy was instrumental in developing new business practices that enabled his companies to operate successfully within the evolving PFI/PPP sector.
With more schools and hospitals looming, Andy decided to change tack and joined Lendlease in Sydney in 2007, gaining his first experience of large-scale business transformation. As part of a small team, Andy was responsible for creating new methodologies and tools to modernise Lendlease’s construction businesses. The lure of a big project was too much, however, and Andy returned to the UK in Jan 2008 to be the Head of Governance for Lendlease on the Athletes Village project in support of the London 2012 Olympic Games and the subsequent Stratford City development programme.
Returning to Australia in 2014, Andy became interested in the potential digital disruption of property and construction, something which has stayed with him to today.
Some time in the desert followed, at Neom in KSA where Andy was Director of Operations for the futuristic city called The LINE; something which he refers to lovingly as an “insane” experience.
Earlier this year Andy returned to Australia to become Procore’s Industry Transformation Leader, a role which aims to connect Procore better with the construction industry and use the insights gained to influence Procore’s product development direction. It’s a role that reacquaints Andy with his passion for digitisation and disruption and provides a platform for influencing change across the AEC sector.
