Today Egis marked a significant milestone in its expansion across South Australia, reaffirming its commitment to sustainable growth and investment in the region.
The event, held in partnership with the French Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FACCI), welcomed the Honourable Joe Szakacs, South Australian Minister for Trade and Investment, who joined Egis in recognising the company's growing contribution to infrastructure, sustainability and economic development across the state.
Strengthening Egis' presence in South Australia
Egis, an international player active in architecture, consulting, engineering and mobility services, has been actively developing its presence in South Australia, working closely with the Department of State Development and establishing a presence at the Defence and Space Landing Pad on Lot Fourteen. In addition, Omada Rail Systems, part of the Egis Group, continues to contribute its rail signalling expertise from its Welland office.
Egis is already making a tangible impact in South Australia through key initiatives, including:
- Supporting the SA Housing Roadmap by developing greenfield engineering standards to accelerate housing delivery
- Conducting asset and service-level reviews for the South Australian Government and the Coober Pedy District Council
- Developing expertise in water, energy, urban design, systems engineering and asset management to drive sustainable infrastructure solutions
- Providing façade consulting services through Inhabit, an Egis subsidiary, for two major projects in Adelaide: the Sofitel and the GPO Hotel
- Improving rail safety with our team of signalling experts contributing to various rail and pedestrian crossing projects
Committed to South Australia's future
Egis is committed to long-term investment and collaboration in South Australia, with a focus on:
- Expanding our presence to support the state's thriving communities and fast-growing economy
- Partnering with local businesses to drive innovation and impactful solutions
- Investing in local talent through graduate program, employment opportunities and strategic acquisitions
- Driving sustainability by integrating solutions that balance quality of life, economic growth and carbon reduction – working towards net zero targets by 2050
Minister for Trade and Investment Joe Szakacs welcomes Egis to SA: "South Australia's leadership in renewable energy, defence and critical technologies continues to attract multinational companies to the state, with Egis one of the latest to locate in Adelaide. With South Australia ranked as the number one place to do business by the Business Council of Australia and previously ranked as the top-performing economy for three consecutive quarters in CommSec's State of the State Report, it is easy to see why companies want to be part of our thriving ecosystem. I welcome Egis and look forward to seeing their presence grow in South Australia."
Alex Yee, Egis in ANZ CEO, said: "Egis sees exciting opportunities in South Australia and with the warm welcome and support of the South Australian Government, Egis is expanding our current presence to establish a key hub in Adelaide where we will bring our global expertise in consulting, engineering and operations, together with our investment capabilities, to build further depth in South Australia."
