Brodie’s career commenced while studying Engineering at the University of Technology Sydney, where he obtained on-the-job experience at Warringah Council, Pavement Management Services and Leighton Contractors. Brodie was instantly drawn to the vibrant and fast pace of the Construction industry while working on the initial Sydney Casino Project (1996). After completing his Bachelor of Engineering, Brodie commenced his on-site construction career and worked on 4 major building projects for Baulderstone Hornibrook.
At the end of the 4th project with Baulderstone, Brodie focussed his efforts on Client Side Project Management and started at APP Corporation. Brodie was at APP for several years and during this time progressed from Assistant Project Manager to Senior Project Manager and subsequently Project Director and Business Unit Manager. Brodie worked across a broad variety of projects including: CUSCAL Workplace, Marsh Mercer Workplace, Australian Technology Park Building D and Infrastructure, Sydney Water Security Upgrade Programme as well as some smaller development projects for private clients.
Brodie temporarily relocated to London, UK where he worked for Deloitte Touche and was dedicated to Deutsche Bank’s Global Markets Accommodation Programme. Brodie also spent some time with Confluence (formally APP International) as Project Director and worked on the Mandarin Oriental Hotel – London. Upon returning to Sydney Australia, Brodie worked on a major industrial manufacturing project that obtained Development Approval via the Department of Planning Part 3A (now known as the State Significant Development) in record time.
Brodie spent 7 years at Broadspectrum and held multiple General Management roles in the resources, Property and Assets and Services sectors. Brodie was quickly recognised for his ability to excel across a variety of roles. Brodie returned to APP Corporation as Project Director/Business Unit Manager and managed the Sydney Showgrounds to convert to AFL for GWS, he was then offered the opportunity to transfer to APP’s parent company Transfield Services (subsequently changed to Broadspectrum and acquired by Ventia).
