McConnell Dowell Group Annual Review 2021 1 1961 Jim Dowell and Malcolm McConnell, two talented, creative individuals with a powerful drive to make things better and so began the construction company, McConnell Dowell. When two young entrepreneurial engineers began work on their first project in New Zealand 60 years ago this year, they were armed with a small cache of tools and a big vision. As they laid those first drains, footpaths and roads, Malcolm McConnell and Jim Dowell may not have realised it at the time, but they were also laying the foundations of what would become a multi-national, multi-disciplinary contracting organisation - and a six-decade journey of innovation, growth and success. Today, McConnell Dowell has a network of offices across more than 15 countries, employs over 3500 people, and has capabilities in building, civil, fabrication, marine, mechanical, pipelines, rail, and tunnelling construction.
