Business Value Strategies for Infrastructure in Perth.
We partner with infrastructure organisations in Perth to overcome workforce planning gaps and misaligned project delivery teams and build a robust HR infrastructure and align project execution.
Market Context: Perth
Perth's resource-driven economy requires operating models that can handle both boom cycles and market volatility. We provide executive advisory to help Perth leaders navigate these unique challenges.
LoopBC Perth
Troy Cardoso-Vigors has worked with Perth-based organisations in the resources and infrastructure sectors — industries that define Perth's commercial identity and create its most distinctive operating model challenges. Perth businesses face a cyclical operating environment that most operating model frameworks are not designed to handle: the need to scale rapidly during boom cycles and contract efficiently during downturns, without losing the organisational capability that is needed for the next cycle. LoopBC's work in Perth focuses on designing operating models that are structurally resilient — capable of scaling up and down without the organisational damage that most Perth businesses experience when the commodity cycle turns.
Why This Matters for Infrastructure
Troy Cardoso-Vigors has spent a significant part of his executive career inside infrastructure organisations — including as a senior executive at National Intermodal Corporation, one of Australia's most significant infrastructure projects. He understands that infrastructure organisations face a unique talent challenge: they need to hire highly specialised roles quickly, in a market where that talent is scarce, while simultaneously building the HR infrastructure to manage and retain those people. Most infrastructure organisations are excellent at project delivery but underdeveloped in people systems. LoopBC closes that gap.
How LoopBC Delivers Results in Infrastructure
National Intermodal Corporation (NIC) engaged LoopBC to act as their Fractional Chief People Officer during a critical phase of organisational growth. Troy Cardoso-Vigors led the design of NIC's remuneration framework, performance management system, and workforce planning process — enabling the organisation to hire over 30 key roles in a competitive market while maintaining internal equity and alignment. The engagement also included the design of NIC's operating model for the people function, establishing the HR infrastructure required to support a rapidly scaling organisation delivering major national infrastructure projects.
Our Approach to Business Value Strategies in Infrastructure
Infrastructure organisations operate under intense delivery pressure with limited tolerance for organisational dysfunction. When project teams are misaligned, when decision rights between the corporate centre and project delivery are unclear, or when the HR infrastructure cannot support rapid hiring, the consequences are measured in project delays and cost overruns. LoopBC's work with infrastructure organisations focuses on building the people systems and operating model clarity that enable project delivery to proceed at pace — drawing directly on Troy's experience inside NIC and other major infrastructure programs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Fractional Chief People Officer and how does LoopBC provide this service?
A Fractional Chief People Officer is an experienced CPO who works with your organisation on a part-time or project basis, providing executive-level people leadership without the cost of a full-time hire. LoopBC's Troy Cardoso-Vigors has served in this capacity for infrastructure organisations including National Intermodal Corporation, designing remuneration frameworks, performance management systems, and workforce planning processes that enabled rapid, high-quality hiring.
How does LoopBC help infrastructure organisations scale their workforce quickly?
LoopBC combines operating model design with practical HR infrastructure development. For infrastructure organisations that need to hire 20-50 specialised roles in a short timeframe, this means designing a remuneration framework that is competitive in the market, a performance management system that sets clear expectations from day one, and an onboarding process that gets new hires productive quickly. Troy led this work at NIC, enabling 30+ key hires in a competitive talent market.
How does LoopBC align project delivery teams with corporate strategy in infrastructure organisations?
The most common misalignment in infrastructure organisations is between the corporate centre — which sets strategy, manages risk, and controls budget — and the project delivery teams who are accountable for execution. LoopBC designs governance frameworks that clarify decision rights at each level, establish clear escalation paths, and create a performance rhythm that keeps both sides of the organisation aligned without creating bureaucratic overhead.
