Major Infrastructure Delivery Requires a People Strategy That Can Scale at the Same Speed.

Infrastructure delivery organisations face a unique challenge: they must build the workforce and the operating model at the same time they are building the asset. Hiring 30 key roles in 12 months while maintaining engagement, establishing remuneration frameworks that attract top talent, and designing performance systems that link individual accountability to project KPIs — these are not HR problems. They are strategic execution problems. Loop Consulting Group has acted as Fractional Chief People Officer for major Australian infrastructure organisations, delivering the HR and operating infrastructure that enables rapid, sustainable growth.

Crafting the HR Blueprint to Enable a Rapid Growth Organisation

National Intermodal Corporation

National Intermodal Corporation is transforming Australia's future supply chains by developing modern intermodal precincts that allow freight to move seamlessly between transportation modes. As an infrastructure delivery organisation building precincts across Australia, they needed to scale rapidly — hiring 30+ key roles while establishing the HR infrastructure to support a 300%+ projected headcount increase.

Loop Consulting Group served as their Fractional Chief People Officer, designing a performance management framework directly linked to operational KPIs, implementing a remuneration policy with a fully mapped grading structure benchmarked against market standards, and developing a talent acquisition and onboarding strategy that reduced hiring time by 30%. The result was a robust HR framework that enabled National Intermodal to attract top-tier talent, maintain engagement at peak levels, and scale with confidence.
