Arup looks to Tanner for infrastructure leadership

Bruce Tanner has been made leader of Arup’s 650-strong Australasian infrastructure department. Formerly in charge of the Queensland team, he took over from the retiring Frank Vromans at the end on March.

Vromans said, “In his new role, Bruce will draw on his strong leadership ability and in-depth knowledge and understanding of infrastructure’s role in economic and social development. Bruce has made an enormous contribution to the industry over the years and I have every confidence that he will take infrastructure to the next level.”

An Arup spokesman added, “Bruce has been with Arup for more than 20 years and in that time has gained extensive experience in developing and driving large multidisciplinary teams carrying out complex studies for major infrastructure projects.

“He has a strong technical background based on direct design experience in all aspects of infrastructure works including highways, rail, aviation and development.”
