Jodie Hawkes

Chief Executive Officer

As CEO of Bowhill Engineering, I’m passionate about leading a vibrant team dedicated to transforming our people & communities by building structures that matter. Having grown with Boweng since 2002, I’ve witnessed our incredible journey firsthand and remain committed to fostering innovation without too much red tape.

Known for being ridiculously organised (maybe with a dash of OCD!), my strength lies in strategically aligning teams to meet and surpass our goals. I thrive on seeing our people evolve from simply performing tasks to making substantial, meaningful contributions.

Projects close to my heart are those that make a tangible impact—like our locally built ferries, made by our community, for our community. I’m continually evolving my approach to leadership, turning learnings into clear, actionable paths for the next generation of leaders.

Outside of work, I’ve four amazing kids, my passion is exploring new destinations, and actively supporting our local community.  #TogetherWeThrive
