Sydney City Marine (SCM) has made two significant senior appointments aimed at reinforcing and expanding the facility’s focus in the Defence and Commercial segments.

“Sydney City Marine has the advantages of location, expertise and experience in servicing Defence and Commercial vessels,” said Brenton Fischer, SCM Director. “To bolster our direction in these divisions, we have sourced industry experts with the contacts and knowledge of the unique protocols in each sector.”

John Hickey, General Manager, has returned to SCM after a period of four years in Dubai, during which time he held senior positions in the composite superyacht industry, before moving into construction sector where he worked on diverse projects, most notably the Sustainability Pavilion for Expo 2020.

During his career, John has held Marina Manager roles, and owned boat building factories in Sydney and the NSW Central Coast. From 2009 to 2014, John was Business Development Manager, then Project Manager, overseeing major refits and build projects at SCM.

He returns to SCM with a brief to coordinate operations and optimise the facility’s resources to serve the existing client base and future partners in Defence and Commercial segments.

Warren Levin joins SCM as Director, Commercial & Defence. Warren brings a wealth of a distinctive professional knowledge of Defence Industry business and market know-how to SCM.

Warren served in the Royal Australian Navy for 20 years as a Clearance Diver, working with foreign Navies in the US, South East Asia, UK and Europe. One of the many highlights of his naval career was becoming one of the inaugural instructional staff to be trained in the UK and Germany to become a submarine rescue and escape instructor.
