Jardine Engineering Corporation (JEC) has shuffled its leadership as Thomas Ho, chief executive of Gammon Construction, retires on 12 October.

He was appointed Chief Executive of JEC in 2018.

With O’Brien moving to a new position, Noky Wong is set to be JEC’s new chief executive in an earlier date. Noky will start his new role as Chief Executive (Designate) of JEC on 1 July. He joined JSG in July 2003 and has since held a number of leadership roles in Hong Kong, Vietnam and Malaysia before being appointed Deputy Chief Executive of JSG in January 2020.
