our promise

We deliver step-change outcomes where it matters most.


At HCE Advisory, we don’t offer theoretical advice. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients to design and implement strategies that unlock real, measurable performance. From major project turnarounds to board-level strategic repositioning, our promise is simple:

We help you navigate complexity, remove roadblocks, and deliver outcomes that stand the test of time.

Whether it's resetting a troubled infrastructure megaproject, strengthening delivery partnerships, or supporting a business to win its first renewable contract, we apply deep industry expertise with urgency and precision.


We don’t just advise. We lead, we deliver, and we stand with you—every step of the way.

how we work

Our model is built on experience, integrity, and trusted relationships.

  • Tailored Engagements: We customise our support—from discreet strategic reviews to long-term embedded partnerships.
  • Senior-Led Expertise: All advisory work is led by seasoned executives with decades of lived experience across infrastructure, energy, defence, health, justice, and more.
  • Deep Integration: We become part of your team, often engaged by CEOs, Boards, or major project sponsors to work inside the business, not beside it.
  • Outcomes First: We don't over-service. We define the goal, align the team, and stay only as long as we add real value.
  • Trust Is Earned: Our clients bring us in when the stakes are high and delivery confidence is critical. We’ve been trusted with multi-billion-dollar challenges, and delivered every time.

our purpose and story

Born from hard-won experience. Driven by purpose. Powered by people.


HCE Advisory was founded by Trevor Hall and Struan Collins, two leaders with decades of hands-on delivery experience across some of Australia and New Zealand’s most complex infrastructure and energy projects. From tunnels and wind farms to hospitals and defence facilities, our team has delivered outcomes in the most demanding environments, regional and urban, public and private, planned and in crisis.


We’ve built and reset businesses. We’ve turned troubled projects into industry benchmarks. And we’ve earned our place as trusted advisors to boards, CEOs, and major clients who know we bring more than advice, we bring clarity, conviction, and the capability to deliver.


Our purpose is simple:
To help people and projects succeed where it really counts.

what our clients say

"It is rare to encounter someone like Trevor, with such a complete understanding of the industry/market, coupled with the ability to clearly articulate and efficiently drive solutions in the most complex of project environments. With a great eye for detail and an ‘always on’ approach to contract administration and management, he brings a balanced demeanour to even the most fraught negotiation. Having worked with Trevor over several years on one of Australia’s largest and most complex infrastructure matters/disputes, I say without hesitation that he is a formidable player on the field (and you want him on your side).”
