Our Spotlight Series recognises the people doing great things in our industry, giving you a behind-the-scenes look into what makes them tick.
We kick off with a post on our very own John Steyntjes, a recent addition to the Consultation Manager Business Development team, whose stakeholder engagement background and talent for building relationships have thrown him into the spotlight.
John Steyntjes | Account Manager & Business Development
John came to us from Water Corporation – where, after gaining solid corporate communication experience, he moved into the growing field of stakeholder engagement. His 20 years of high-level industry experience, combined with PR and Communications qualifications has equipped him with a wealth of knowledge.

Trivia
So here’s something you won’t find on his resume – John has always had a knack for making things “happen”.
A young and eager John was passionate about racing motocross. After he retired from the sport, he became Chairman of the Western Australian Motocross Committee to promote the sport and was a member of the marketing committee that promoted the first ever World Motocross des Nations event in Australia. Held in 1992, it was a huge success and it attracted around 20,000 spectators – the largest ever crowd at a motocross event in Australia.
