Directors

Enecon is managed by its Executive Directors, Colin Stucley and Jim Bland. They are both professional engineers, and each has managed or worked on studies and projects throughout Australia and overseas for more than thirty-five years (including twenty years with Enecon). Importantly, Colin and Jim have had hands-on involvement with every assignment carried out by Enecon. When you consider our experience listings you can be assured that the managers or directors of every past project listed can actually contribute to your project too.
