Episode 5 of our Adelaide Connected podcast, powered by the Committee for Adelaide is now LIVE and features Spencer McKinney, Principal Project Controller at Mott MacDonald.
Originally from the US, Spencer has lived and worked in Fiji, England and Wales before moving to Adelaide in late 2025, with his wife and young family, to work in project management as part of Mott MacDonald’s defence team.
In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and kids, learning the piano, hitting the gym, playing basketball and spending time at the beach and the great outdoors.
We chat to Spencer about his experience moving to Adelaide, settling into life by the beach, exploring the Adelaide Central Markets and what he loves about his new hone time.

The Adelaide Connected Podcast is powered by the Committee for Adelaide, where hosts Naomi Marsh and Ali Chatburn speak with Boomerangs* and Arrows* from various industries who are now based in Adelaide, South Australia. We hear about their time abroad and delve into key topics about their move to Adelaide, how important networking is, how we attract key talent, and how our state fares on a global scale.
Adelaide Connected is proudly delivered by the Committee for Adelaide, with the support of a grant from the Department of State Development’s, ‘Skilled Migration Talent and Industry Connection Program’.
*Arrow – someone that is not originally from South Australia, but now lives and works here.
*Boomerang – someone that is originally from South Australia, has lived interstate or abroad and returned.
