Lycopodium Non Executive Recruitment

Board Direction, on behalf of Lycopodium Limited (ASX: LYL) is seeking to appoint an Independent Non-Executive Director with Resource Industry or Project Delivery experience from the Operator’s or Owner’s side.

ABOUT LYCOPODIUM LIMITED

Lycopodium is a leader in its field, working with clients to provide integrated engineering, construction and asset management solutions since 1992.  Headquartered in Perth, Western Australia they listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX: LYL) in 2004.

Operating across the resources, industrial processes and infrastructure sectors, they deliver feasibility studies and advisory services through to the detailed engineering, construction and project management of complex, multidisciplinary projects within Australia and internationally.

More specifically:

  • Within resources, they cover all commodities and minerals and are recognised globally for their capability in gold, copper, diamonds, iron ore and battery minerals.
  • Within industrial processes, they cover markets such as pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, food and beverage, chemicals and energy, sustainability and environment.
  • Within infrastructure, they cover predominantly rail and asset management services to private and public infrastructure.

They operate globally primarily through the following subsidiary companies:

  • Lycopodium Minerals APAC
  • Lycopodium Minerals Americas
  • ADP – predominantly servicing Southern Africa
  • Lycopodium Process Industries – Pharmaceutical/Specialty Chemicals
  • Lycopodium Infrastructure – Rail
  • OMC (Orway Mineral Consultants)
  • Mondium (JV with Monadelphous)

Whilst measured in approach, they have seen steady growth and have been reliably profitable. As a result, they are highly respected by their long-term shareholders (and they have never looked to them for top-up capital). With a very strong balance sheet and negligible debt, the business does not rely on banks for financing, and their intention remains to maintain this approach in the future.

Measuring them against their $349 million turnover and $50 million profit in FY2024, and the vision for continued steady growth borne upon the objective to ‘be the best’ and to continue to service ‘clients who trust them’, their success is undeniable.

  • FY24 Revenue of $349 million,
  • 1300 FTE & Contract staff,
