As we mark MBB’s 10th anniversary, we asked our team around Australia what they enjoy most about working at MBB. Here are the top 5 things that we do well: • Projects that matter – we enjoy contributing to interesting and challenging work that positively impacts communities, including renewable energy, social infrastructure, defence, ports, precincts and transport. • Our diverse, multi-lingual team hails from all corners of the globe – more than 30% of us were born in countries other than Australia (Europe, Asia, the Americas and Oceania). • A positive culture – supportive of employees’ needs for success; the flexibility to combine working remotely and onsite has been a gamechanger, allowing those of us with caring responsibilities to spend more precious moments with our families while building our careers. • A welcoming and collaborative workplace – the approachability of everyone, from our senior leadership team of Matthew Brook. Katrina Street, Robert Fields, Peter Jones and Shane Chidgzey to our managers and consultants, fosters learning, creative ideas and knowledge sharing. • We know how to have fun – a good laugh is never far away, making it a joy to come to work every day. A big thank you to all of our amazing people, clients, partners and the broader sector for your ongoing support over the last 10 years.  #iPLAN #infrastructure #strategy #projectcontrols #riskmanagement

R U OK? Day 2024 This week MBB Group staff took the time to come together, check in with one another and ask the simple but important question - “Are you OK?”. Days like today remind us how a simple conversation can change a persons life and how important it is to keep the conversations going. The teams came together over morning teas and walks, having meaningful conversations about the importance of reaching out to individuals and providing support to those who might be struggling, including themselves. We all have a role to play in building a community where people feel supported and connected. #RUOK #MentalHealth #RUOKDAY
