We are 150CLD and this is our story, so far.

Team 150CLD-1

Bridging the gap between technical expertise and strong leadership

Ensuring that the industry’s best projects are not just well-designed but well-led.

At 150CLD, we equip construction and engineering professionals with the leadership, project management and problem-solving skills needed to build better, reduce waste and drive projects forward with confidence.

Whether you're stepping into a supervisory role, leading complex infrastructure projects, or transitioning from the military into the sector, our training and coaching help you navigate the industry's challenges with clarity and capability.

Most leadership training out there doesn’t reflect the realities of running a construction site, managing stakeholders or keeping teams aligned under pressure.
That’s where we come in.
What we do

Across all levels of leadership in construction and civil engineering

We work with construction firms, infrastructure projects, military leavers and engineering professionals who are ready to lead with confidence—because great projects don’t just need great plans, they need great people to bring them to life.

In-Company Training

Designed to align teams, improve performance and reduce project friction.
01
Practical Leadership, Not Theory

We believe that leadership isn’t about corporate jargon or textbook strategies—it’s about real-world decisions, made in real-time, under real pressure. Our training is built for the challenges of the construction and engineering industries, ensuring that every lesson translates directly to site and project management.

 

02
Building Capability, Not Just Compliance

Too often, leadership and project management training focus on ticking boxes. We focus on building competence, confidence, and capability, so leaders at all levels—whether supervisors, project managers or senior executives—can think critically, lead effectively and drive success on their projects.

03
No-Nonsense, Straight-Talking Training

Construction leaders don’t have time for fluff. We cut through the noise and deliver practical, actionable strategies that can be used immediately to improve leadership, decision-making and project outcomes.

 

04
Collaboration Over Hierarchy

The best construction leaders know that it’s not about telling people what to do—it’s about bringing people together. We help teams break down silos, improve communication and align towards common goals, reducing friction and project waste.

05
Bridging the Gap Between Technical & Human

Strong technical skills alone don’t make great leaders. Neither does charisma. Leadership in construction requires a blend of technical understanding, strategic thinking and people management—we help professionals master all three.

06
Resilience, Adaptability & Continuous Learning

Great leaders don’t just manage projects—they adapt to change, anticipate challenges and create environments where teams thrive under pressure. We embed adaptability and problem-solving into everything we teach, because construction is rarely predictable.

07
Helping Others Succeed

Leadership isn’t about individual success—it’s about developing others, fostering accountability and ensuring teams perform at their best. We equip leaders with the skills to inspire, guide and empower their teams to deliver outstanding results.

08
Military Precision Meets Construction Practicality

Founded by those who have led in both military and construction environments, our training is built on structured decision-making, strategic planning and leadership under pressure. We take the discipline and strategic thinking from military leadership and apply it to construction’s unique challenges.

Meet the team

At 150CLD, we don’t just train leaders—we shape them.
