NRW appoints new CFO
NRW Holdings has appointed Peter Bryant as its new chief financial officer (CFO), which will take effect on May 5.
Holding strong experience in accounting, Bryant has a strong focus on people and safety and is known for driving innovation within large-scale businesses.
Bryant most recently served as CFO for Perth Airport Corporation, and prior to that was the long-term CFO of Perenti, a role in which he gained extensive experience across the mining sector.
With a career spanning roles in Australia, the UK, and the US, Bryant has worked across mining, renewables and media industries in both private and public companies.
“I am delighted to welcome Peter to NRW,” NRW Holdings managing director Jules Pemberton said.
“Peter brings a wealth of experience across the global mining services markets through his service at Perenti and prior to that at Barminco and GRD Minproc.”
Bryant is a Fellow of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand and a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD).
Outside of his professional career, he is a long-serving volunteer with the Cottesloe Surf Club and has contributed to charitable organisations such as the Starlight Children’s Foundation and the Telethon Trust.
His appointment comes as NRW Holdings continues to expand its presence in the mining and civil contracting industries, with the help of Bryant’s extensive experience in financial leadership and operational strategy.
NWR was awarded a major contract by Evolution Mining for its Castle Hill gold deposit in Western Australia in October 2024.
The project is located in the heart of the WA goldfields, 50km northwest of Kalgoorlie and 40km north of Coolgardie, ideally situated to allow NRW to engage with local businesses and further develop the local community partnerships established by the Mungari operations.
The works to be performed include load and haul, drill and blast and construction of site supporting facilities, with the drill and blast component undertaken by Action Drill & Blast, a subsidiary of NRW.
The anticipated value of the contract is tipped to be around $360 million and works are expected to be completed by mid-2030.
