Commenting on her appointment, Jessica said, "It's an honour to be returning to CCF SA and to lead an organisation that plays such an important role in supporting and representing our industry."

"I'm passionate about the civil construction sector and look forward to working closely with our members, Board, and stakeholders to ensure the Federation continues to deliver strong advocacy, high-quality training, and meaningful value to the people and businesses that build South Australia."
