If a packed room is a measure of success, then our recent event with our Victorian clients and partners was a triumph! CEO Mark Baker, Victoria Manager Greg Di Blasi, and the rest of our local team took the opportunity to thank our guests for their ongoing partnership. 👏 Our panel discussion on social infrastructure opportunities, economics, and construction challenges in Victoria was the absolute highlight. The Hon. Christopher Pyne led a fascinating and entertaining panel featuring the Chair of the Standing Committee on Economics Dr Daniel Mulino MP, alongside BESIX Watpac General Manager for Vic & SA, Alistair Crosby, and General Manager of Design & Engineering, Sandra Nilsen. Thanks Victoria, we look forward to building the best together! ✨ #BuildingTheBestTogether #Collaboration #VictoriaConstruction

Construction is Australia’s third-largest employer – and it’s such an exciting field to be a part of. Inspiring the next generation to pursue a career in construction is key to the future of our industry. Who better to show what a rewarding career in construction looks like than our young professionals currently delivering the St George Hospital Redevelopment? They had the chance to speak with local high school students, sharing candid insights into the day-to-day life on-site and the diversity of career pathways. 🏥 🔨 We look forward to seeing these students back again one day, helping to deliver critical social infrastructure, just like this project! ✨ #BuildingTheBestTogether #FutureConstructionProfessionals
THE NEXT GENERATION | St George Hospital recently welcomed students from Moorefield Girls High School and James Cook Boys Technology High School for an inspiring tour of the St George Hospital Redevelopment site, facilitated by our construction partner, BESIX Watpac. This was the students' second visit to the site; during their first visit in 2023, the site was still in its early excavation phase. Seeing how much progress has been made since then underscored the many career opportunities available to them. The day began with a project overview and safety briefing, followed by an engaging site tour. Students learned about various career pathways and participated in an apprenticeship talk, culminating in a panel discussion with young professionals currently working on-site. While some may not immediately associate construction with careers in health, it plays a vital role in the industry. As one of the many pathways available, construction provides valuable opportunities for individuals seeking to influence the future of healthcare. We’re not just building a hospital; we're inspiring the future workforce! #StGeorgeHospital #ConstructionCareers #NSWHealth #CommunityEngagement #WorkforceDevelopment
