Brisbane-based insurance claims building and engineering consultant ICPS Australia has appointed five new employees.

CEO Brad Nicholls says the hires were prompted by growth, as the consultancy expands beyond Queensland.

“We’ve seen our workload increase as ICPS Australia’s name and reputation become better known across the insurance industry, so we need to have the personnel on board to ensure we can meet our clients’ quality requirements and tight timeframes,” he said.

The appointments are Meredith Williams, Assistant National Operations Manager;

Peter Smith, Senior Building Consultant; Josef Balanag, Consulting Civil and Structural Engineer; Peter McNamara, Licensed Builder; and Louisa Noffke, Professional Environmental Adviser/Environmental Health Officer.
