Versatile Group expands public sector offering with appointment of National Education Lead

Versatile Construction, part of end-to-end property development business Versatile Group, is pleased to announce the appointment of Simon Herbert as National Education Lead, as it expands its capabilities within the public sector.  

With more than 30 years of experience, Simon has a successful track record in construction, project management and architecture.  

Simon brings a wealth of expertise from his previous roles, including time as Principal of Program & Project Management at Aurecon, where he led the team responsible for delivering the engineering design of the new Western Sydney Airport Terminal. 

Most recently, he served as Executive at Conscia, where he focused on delivering improved facilities and outcomes for clients across a range of projects.  

In his new role as National Education Lead at Versatile Construction, Simon will lead the strategic development of a world-class education portfolio, with a focus on primary and secondary schools, universities and trade schools across Australia.  

Fabrizio Perilli, Managing Director of Versatile Group, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Simon to the team as National Education Lead. His extensive knowledge and leadership will be crucial in shaping the future of educational infrastructure across Australia.” 

The appointment signifies a further step as Versatile Group strengthens its capabilities within the public sector space, appointing Michael Bridger as National Defence Lead earlier this year. 

Perilli continued: “These appointments reflect our commitment to building a team of best-in-class experts, with the depth of knowledge required to deliver excellence in every project we undertake.”
