Fulton Hogan is pleased to formally announce the return of Graeme Johnson to New Zealand, as he assumes the role of Group Chief Executive Officer. This follows an earlier industry update in late 2024 regarding his appointment.

Graeme is a familiar and respected figure across the infrastructure sector on both sides of the Tasman, with a long-standing track record of strong delivery, relationships and collaboration. A Chartered Professional Engineer and Fellow of both Engineering New Zealand and Engineers Australia, Graeme brings substantial expertise and credentials recognised on both sides of the Tasman. In addition to several company directorships, Graeme has served on the Boards of key industry bodies, including Infrastructure New Zealand, Australian Constructors Association, Cement Concrete & Aggregates Australia and the University of Canterbury Civil and Natural Resources Engineering Professional Advisory Board.

Graeme’s connection with Fulton Hogan began on the front line in 2003, progressing through operational, management and executive roles in New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific, contributing to a number of significant infrastructure projects, asset management undertakings and the development of related construction material supply chains.

Graeme was previously CEO of NZ and, most recently, CEO of Australia and will continue in his new capacity as Group CEO to lead Fulton Hogan’s strategic direction and contributions to the infrastructure landscape on both sides of the Tasman.

Passionate about the infrastructure sector,  Graeme will continue to be a leading contributor in shaping industry capability, actively championing initiatives that build skills, foster innovation, and enhance sector resilience for the long term.
