Our Founding Partners play a vital role in enabling us to do the work that drives Wellness in Infrastructure forward. Their support helps us develop industry-specific wellbeing frameworks, advocate for meaningful change, and share best practices across the sector. At our #InternationalWomensDay Morning Tea, we had the pleasure of catching up with these incredible organisations and took the opportunity to capture some formal photos together - a reflection of the strong partnerships that help make our work possible. A huge thank you to our founding partners for backing our mission and supporting real change in the industry. We couldn’t do it without you! 💜John Holland, McConnell Dowell, Downer, Downer Transport & Infrastructure, Alchimie Pty Ltd, Chief Group Australia If you’d like to join us as a foundational partner, now is the time!

🔥 Where there's smoke there's... a new connection to country at the site of our Belmont Desalination Plant project. Our Belmont team were welcomed to make a connection with the land where John Holland is delivering this critical water infrastructure for Hunter Water. The Bahtabah Local Aboriginal Land Council conducted the smoking ceremony to cleanse the site and repel bad spirits, and each member of the team was invited to forge their own connection through this ritual. Local Aboriginal artefacts including stone axes, shields and boomerangs were also on display. Site establishment works are continuing on site this month, including the installation of site boundary fences, and construction of worker site compounds and car parks. 🚰 We're looking forward to making progress on delivering the desalination plant that's set to form part of the Lower Hunter’s water supply system for the future! #JohnHollandTransformingLives #JustAddJohnHolland #ItsAJohnHollandJob

🤔 Q: How do you install 699 super T-bridge girders to build a viaduct over the M1 motorway efficiently AND safely? 🏗️ A: By building a girder access platform that eliminates the need for workers to work from an elevated platform! This groundbreaking method was introduced to enhance safety for workers and reduce the delays experienced by road users due to quicker installation times. The girders - or concrete beams - are being used to construct the ten-kilometre section of the project from Black Hill to Tomago, which includes a 2.6-kilometre bridge over the New England Highway and Hunter River at Hexham. The girder access platforms attach to both ends of each girder before installation and combined with a headstock walkway system and access tower, reduces the risk for our crews working at heights when unhooking the lifting chains from the top of the girder. The girder access platform is now being used for the construction of several new bridges on the Black Hill to Tomago section of the project. #JohnHollandTransformingLives #ItsAJohnHollandJV #JohnHollandGamuda

🌉 We're not just building roads, bridges, tunnels and railways, we're building a culture of equality. 🙌🏽 In the world of construction, we're all about turning plans into reality, and we've celebrated International Women's Day during the last two weeks to better understand what that means at John Holland. 👷🏽♀️ Our Cairns Water Security Stage 1 project team hosted the local Mayor of Cairns Regional Council Amy Eden for a guided site tour with female construction workers. 👷♀️At our Torrens to Darlington Project in Adelaide, our team hosted a networking event to hear from female leaders and discuss how to accelerate action on bringing change to the industry. 👷🏽♀️At Melbourne's Flinders Gate office we heard from guest speaker Sarah Holdsworth - researcher at RMIT University School of Property, Construction and Project Management about how far the industry has come... and still has to go. 👷♀️At Belmont near Newcastle, the team at our Desalination Plant project hosted a panel of female leaders to talk about their achievements in the construction industry and how we can inspire more women to see themselves in it. 👷♀️Our Parramatta Light Rail stage 2 enabling works team hosted a visit from team members at Parramatta Women's Shelter where local women and children can receive care, resources, and support they need during times of hardship. 👷🏽♀️ Our Upper South Creek team in Southwest Sydney hosted a female Bonnyrigg High School student with support from the KARI Foundation who experienced what it was like to spend a day on a construction site. 👷♀️ Our West Australian Rail Services team celebrated with morning tea and a talk from Aideen Gillies - a senior female leader from the Port Hedland office, along with recognition of long service awards for two team members. Here's to more progress on bringing better equality to our industry, one pair of steel capped boots at a time! #ItsAJohnHollandJob #BuiltByJohnHolland #JohnHollandTransformingLives #JHWomenInConstruction

Jaime Petrie's rise: from Contracts Administrator to Commerical Manager 👷♀️ Jaime Petrie's rise in the construction industry began after she completed a Bachelor's Degree of Science in Psychology and a Business Admin Certificate III. Starting as a Contract Administrator for John Holland she contributed to major projects like the award-winning Logan Hospital Expansion Stage 1 and the Clarence Correctional Centre. Her skills and leadership earned her a promotion to Commercial Manager during the Lockyer Valley Correctional Centre project. 🏥Jaime plays a key role in delivering vital social infrastructure, working closely with our subcontracting partners and benefitting local communities by advocating for local workforce and business participation. 🙌🏽 She was handpicked for John Holland's Future Leaders program, where she cultivated her leadership talents and strategic outlook. Her advice to young starters in construction? "Stay curious! Ask questions and focus on learning rather than proving yourself. "Being reliable, showing up on time and putting in real effort will earn respect - a strong work ethic and eagerness to learn will open doors to better opportunities and long-term success," she said. #JHWomenInConstruction #JohnHollandTransformingLives #ItsAJohnHollandJob

🔦Project Spotlight 🔦 Our Edmonton to Gordonvale (E2G) project was an example of true collaboration best practice, underpinned by stakeholder transparency and collective input into design and construction. Delivered by John Holland, Seymour Whyte and AECOM in 2023, this $481-million project included: 🛣️ a 10.5-kilometre upgrade of the Bruce Highway, south of Cairns 🛣️ duplication of the existing two-lane sections to four lanes 🛣️ new service roads 🛤️ the relocation of 4.4-kilometres of Queensland Rail line 🚆 the construction of two new active level crossings 🛤️ and the relocation and construction of 8.8-kilometres of cane rail. Stepping outside of the usual industry Alliance model, AECOM was brought onto the project as a Joint Venture Partner (rather than a consultant) to encourage best practice for project outcomes. #JohnHollandTransformingLives #ItsAJohnHollandJV
