One of the largest construction groups in the region with over 20,000 employees, Habtoor Leighton Group is part of Australia’s largest project development and contracting company, Leighton Group. HLG focuses on five core areas including infrastructure, building, rail, oil and gas, and mining. The group has an extensive track record of undertaking large-scale projects in the region since 2007. The group was formed through a merger between UAE’s Al Habtoor Engineering and Leighton Group’s regional company Gulf Leighton.
CEO and MD José Antonio López-Monís joined HLG in 2012 with an extensive experience in international construction and previously worked for one of the world’s largest construction companies, Dragados, S.A.
HLG’s presence has been growing the GCC region and this year the group was awarded two largescale projects in Qatar including a road project and the construction of Mega Reservoir PRPS 3. López-Monís said that Qatar’s a key market for HLG.
He said: “Securing repeat business from key government clients demonstrates that HLG remains a preferred contractor for clients to whom we have demonstrated our ability to deliver complex projects, safely, on time and on budget.”
