Congratulations to our Head of Human Resources Sianne Bennett and Jordyn Allan, Electrical Trades Assistant, on being named as finalists in this years' NAWIC NSW - National Association of Women in Construction Awards for Excellence. Sianne has been named a finalist in the category of Businesswoman of the Year, recognised for her significant contribution to the development and growth of our business and implementing core policies, procedures and programs designed to drive equality and promote greater participation of women and other underrepresented groups in our industry. Jordyn is a finalist for the Tradesperson Scholarship, which is a far stretch away from her previous role as a Manager in the local Goulburn McDonalds. Jordyn took a leap of faith and joined the Gamuda women in tunnelling pre-employment program on one of Australia’s biggest infrastructure projects and has changed her life as she pursues - and succeeds - in a career in construction. Being recognised as a finalist is a significant achievement in itself and we wish them the best of luck in their award nomination categories at the gala evening later this month! #Gamuda #GlobalExpertise #LocalDelivery #NAWIC #Women #Construction

Building the Future: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Sydney Metro West! 🏗️ Community members, families and friends recently had an unforgettable experience at the Sydney Metro West – Western Tunnelling Package site! Hosted by the Gamuda Australia and Laing O'Rourke Consortium team, the Clyde site opened its doors to more than 400 attendees across two days for a behind-the-scenes look at this landmark infrastructure project. 🌟 What made the weekend special? The next generation of little builders and their families got a rare view of our Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) stationed in the Clyde launch box, ready to embark on their journey towards Parramatta. Plus, for the first time, guests were able to explore the Tunnelling and Infrastructure Academy, experiencing the TBM operator’s cabin and a VR room that transported them inside the TBM and tunnels. The excitement didn’t stop there! Kids climbed aboard real construction vehicles, including dump trucks and excavators, while enjoying face painting and badge-making. Showbags capped off a memorable weekend. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and made this event a success. Here’s to inspiring the builders of tomorrow! 🔧 Check out our favourite moments below. 📸 #Gamuda #Construction #SydneyMetroWest #GlobalExpertise #LocalDelivery #FutureWorkforce

What a night! Gamuda's Tunnelling and Infrastructure Academy (TIA) has won its first award! Our team was beyond excited to take out the top award for Excellence in Social Outcomes at the annual Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) Awards Gala event on Thursday 24 October. The Infrastructure Sustainability Council Awards exemplify excellence in sustainability across environmental, social, governance, and economic outcomes and outstanding contributions to market transformation at organisational, systemic and societal levels. The TIA is a state of the art, purpose-built facility designed to futureproof our industry through specialised training and upskilling, with an emphasis on programs designed to attract a more diverse workforce. Since opening its doors on our Sydney Metro West Clyde site in July 2023, we've facilitated 6,928 enrolments, upskilling members of our existing workforce; welcomed young minds through our Gamuda Girls Infrastructure Boost program; and opened the doors to a career in construction to an increasingly diverse group of people. It's been an honour to contribute to the growth and development of our industry's future talent.

Born and raised in country NSW, Gamuda’s Rail Systems Manager Sharon Tamai moved to Sydney for University and never left. Sharon began her career 24 years ago as an environmental engineering graduate with the Rail Infrastructure Corporation (now Sydney Trains) but quickly shifted her focus to civil engineering, working on infrastructure and station upgrade projects. Her career has since seen her deliver projects from within the government and for large Tier 1 construction contractors. One of her favourite career highlights was working on the Epping to Chatswood Line interface project (now part of the Sydney Metro Northwest), which required complex Brownfield staging to construct and integrate the new line into the existing Sydney Trains network with minimal disruption. “I worked on the Epping to Chatswood Rail Line Interface works project as a track project engineer, and I loved it! There was a lot of weekend and night work, which certainly wasn’t glamorous, but I was thrown in at the deep end and learned a lot. I met many great people on that project and have continued to do so over the years. It has been really interesting to see the industry evolve into what it is now,” she said. Sharon enjoys the challenge of solving problems, so the rail industry is perfect for her. Since beginning her career, she has focused primarily on major projects in urban areas, where the interfaces are complex, space is limited, access is difficult, and time and budget add complexity. Gamuda is excited to draw on Sharon’s extensive experience securing and delivering major infrastructure projects across Australia. #GamudaAustralia #GlobalExpertise #LocalDelivery #Rail #Infrastructure #Construction

It was a great treat for our team to witness 18 Indigenous Businesses graduate from the Yarpa NSW Indigenous Business & Employment Hub Grow program during Indigenous Business Month! The participants represented various Aboriginal businesses with a variety of services and offerings, including several that already work closely with Gamuda across our projects in Australia. Yarpa Grow is a 10-week business accelerator program delivered by Yarpa in partnership with Western Sydney University. Yarpa Grow supports participants in setting strong foundations for successful and sustainable business growth. It provides specialised training, mentorship, resources, and support to build capacity, capability, and competitiveness. Gamuda Aboriginal Programs and Participation Manager Matthew Murphy was a guest at the graduation ceremony and said it was amazing to see the businesses we work with graduate from such an important program. “It was really special to see businesses that we work closely with, including HPG Solutions Pty Ltd and Eather Group graduate from the Yarpa Grow program,” he said. “It was also a great opportunity to meet and connect with many other Aboriginal businesses that we can work with and support in the future.” Matt is now looking forward to attending the annual Yarpa ‘Meet the buyer’ event this Thursday, an event that matches corporate, industry and government buyers with First Nations businesses who can deliver goods and services into their supply chains. #GamudaAustralia #GlobalExpertise #LocalDelivery #YarpaGrow #IndigenousBusinessMonth Eric Lesa

While most of Coffs Harbour was sleeping on Saturday night, the bypass team (Transport for NSW, Gamuda Australia, and Ferrovial) and a hard-working specialist team lifted the new Luke Bowen pedestrian bridge into place, changing the appearance of the city’s northern entrance.   Members of the community watched on as the steel truss was lifted, rotated 90 degrees, and placed on its piers to join the ramp trusses already in position on either side of the highway.   Ferrovial Gamuda Joint Venture Senior Project Engineer, Thomas Patterson, said many months of detailed planning went into the installation of the bridge, to make sure it went smoothly.   “Lifting a structure of that size and weight does not happen by accident, with many people and teams involved in making it possible.” Watch the video to see how it all unfolded. #GamudaAustralia #GlobalExpertise #LocalDelivery #Construction #Transport #Infrastructure #BridgeBuild Dean Tauasa

Gamuda Australia was thrilled to recently host a site visit to the Sydney Metro West – Western Tunnelling Package for students from the University of Sydney Civil Engineers Society.   Approximately 30 engineering students had the opportunity to explore the state-of-the-art Tunnelling and Infrastructure Academy. The facility, the first of its kind in NSW, uses Virtual Reality to give members of the tunnelling team hands-on training in a fully simulated environment. Students also had the chance to witness construction progress on Sydney Metro West at the Clyde construction site, where they heard from the Gamuda and Laing O'Rourke Consortium Deputy Project Director Andy Thompson and Project Manager Evan Morgan about the Western Tunnelling Package and the benefits of the Autonomous Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) being used on the project – the first of their kind in Australia.   As a Gold Sponsor of the Sydney University Civil Engineers (SUCE), Gamuda is committed to supporting grassroots organisations and inspiring the next generation of engineers. #GamudaAustralia #GlobalExpertise #LocalDelivery #Construction #Infrastructure #Training #NextGeneration
