The Sydney architecture and design practice has announced two promotions within the senior team.

James Lauman has been appointed an Associate Director, while Milena Grbovic is now a Senior Associate (BIM Lead).

The promotions signal a strategic strengthening of the practice’s senior team.

TURNER’s Head of People & Culture Sika Fernandez says the practice is poised to continue delivering exceptional design for its clients.

"The promotions highlight our dedication to designing and delivering to the highest standards. They are a testament to the commitment and outstanding contribution of these staff," she says.
“Our goal is to be an employer of choice. We have a great team and we love what we do. We want to make sure the talents of our team are recognised.”

Lauman joined TURNER in 2017 after working at practices in Australia and in the United States.

He co-leads the Design Culture Panel at TURNER, advocating for ever-strengthening schemes through design reviews and design talk symposia.

Grbovic has been a valued member of TURNER’s team for 14 years. As BIM leader, she oversees the architectural and office standards. 

Her promotion highlights the importance of BIM at TURNER, and its critical role in the built environment.
