    Brilliant storytelling by Kiri and Sean. Beyond sad and angry that this has occurred on such a massive scale.

  • Enjoyable listening!

    The recent episode about green arbitration (featuring Lucy Greenwood) was great, highlighting a key issue in an accessible and relevant way (especially for an industry that is often slow to change!).

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The future of infrastructure leadership and wellbeing with Salam Al-Mulla
Q: Can you describe the Wellness in Infrastructure program and its impact on the industry so far?
The initiative started from alarming mental health statistics and has since implemented mentoring, psychosocial tools, and audit methods that reduced depression, anxiety, and burnout, while promoting a culture shift toward wellbeing on projects.
The future of infrastructure leadership and wellbeing with Salam Al-Mulla
Q: What are the three key on-site applications of contract knowledge you mentioned, and why are they important?
Clear scope and change management, keeping contemporaneous records, and fostering a collaborative, fair contract administration approach that aligns with project delivery goals.
The future of infrastructure leadership and wellbeing with Salam Al-Mulla
Q: How important is contractual literacy for engineers and how has it evolved as you moved into leadership?
Contract literacy is crucial for informed decision-making and risk management; over time, leadership exposure and mentor guidance helped broaden understanding from individual task focus to whole-project contract implications and collaboration.
Inside wind energy contracting models with Andrew Davies
Q: What are the traditional contracting models used in onshore wind farms, and how are you seeing a shift toward split-scope models?
He explains that the typical model in Australia has been an EBC structure with a wind turbine supplier and a balance of plant package, but emerging practices in Europe and the US show two- to five-party structures (split-scope) to improve price competition and enable tailored risk allocation.
Inside wind energy contracting models with Andrew Davies
Q: What attracted you to the wind sector and how did your career evolve into techno-commercial roles?
Davies describes transitioning from the automotive industry to wind after a downturn, combining mechanical engineering with hands-on project exposure, which led to a focus on due diligence, risk allocation, and the interface between design and commercial terms.
