David Paterson commences as Built’s CEO, Construction

18 September 2024​

Australian-owned construction and development group, Built, is pleased to announce David Paterson has officially commenced in the newly created role of CEO, Construction.  

Having most recently served as Managing Director of Lendlease Construction Australia, Mr. Paterson brings extensive industry knowledge and leadership from over 30 years’ experience. 

Executive Chairman and Group CEO, Marco Rossi, welcomed Mr. Paterson to the executive team and said his appointment strengthens Built’s commitment to delivering Australia’s critical infrastructure as the company enters its next phase of growth.  

“As CEO of Construction, David will play a critical part in supporting the delivery of Built’s expanding pipeline, which includes over $7.5 billion of work-in-hand, by enhancing operational excellence, optimising project delivery, and driving innovation to enable our business to continue to grow,” he said. 

“With recent changes to our group structure, coupled with our market leading digital-first approach, we are well-positioned to deliver new ways that modernise and rejuvenate the construction industry and deliver a more productive, cost efficient, and safer way to build,” added Mr. Rossi.  

Mr. Paterson said it was an exciting time to join Built during an important period of the company’s growth.  

“The culture of Built is a culture of growth, a culture of excellence, and a culture of innovation. The vision of Marco and the Board is clear and there is no other organisation that has as much potential as Built to become the number one contractor in Australia,” said Mr. Paterson.  

“The opportunity to deliver on this vision and lead an Australian-owned organisation with such a rich heritage is therefore an honour and more importantly, a real privilege,” he added.
