HYDER

“We moved to Australia from the UK to enjoy a better lifestyle. Being fortunate enough to be sponsored by Hyder Consulting, with visa and relocation looked after, we settled in with ease. Sydney allows the family to enjoy our new outdoor life of beach and barbecues.” Hyder Consulting is a leading engineering consultancy providing advisory, engineering and environmental services worldwide. The Sydney office is experiencing significant growth in the transportation sector. The business hired Mark as its ‘Technical Director Rail’ to lead, develop and grow the rail design, advisory and planning business.

Hyder is a UK-based company with a global network of 19 offices. Their Australian offices attended the 2006 event – where Mark met Hyder. “It all happened quickly. Three months later I started work in my North Sydney office with a view of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House from my office window!”

"I had a lot of support from the company and team I work with. That made the transition so much easier. Everybody works exceptionally hard throughout the business, but the social scene at work is very active and the location is reward in itself!”

“We have now been in Sydney almost two years and love it here – so much so that my wife now works for Hyder, advising and helping new arrivals on life and living in Sydney!”
