Most recently, he served as Executive General Manager, Infrastructure at John Holland, leading a team of 2,000 professionals on large-scale projects.

APA Group CEO Adam Watson highlighted Evans’ strong leadership, customer focus, and commitment to safety as essential qualities for executing APA’s ambitious growth strategy. “Rob’s track record of successful project delivery across various contracting models will be invaluable as we continue to expand,” Watson said.

Evans expressed enthusiasm about joining APA at a pivotal moment for Australia’s energy landscape. “I’m honored to help drive APA’s strategy and contribute to sustainable and impactful energy infrastructure for future generations,” he stated.

Evans will officially join APA in June 2025, ensuring a smooth transition with Lester before his departure.
