We're thrilled to announce the launch of our second Innovate level Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). This marks a significant step forward in our commitment to reconciliation and creating a more inclusive workplace. Our RAP outlines the actions we'll take to advance equal participation and opportunity, respect for each other, and self-determination. It's a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, and we're incredibly proud of this achievement. This RAP features the incredible artwork ‘Yakamia – Home of the Turtle’ by Menang artist Michael Cummings. Let's continue to work together to build a more just and equitable society.

Last week, our CEO Arthur Psaltis, had the privilege of interviewing John Flecker, Global CEO of Multiplex, at the prestigious 31st Dr. George Hondros Memorial Lecture held at the The University of Western Australia Club. The event was a resounding success, and the insightful discussion with John was truly inspiring for the students and industry professionals in attendance.   As a token of appreciation for his significant contributions, Arthur was recognised by UWA for nearly two decades of service on the Civil Engineering Industry Advisory Panel, including a decade as Chair.   The recognition was bestowed by distinguished representatives including Professor Tim Sercombe (Dean of Engineering), Mr. Tim Colmer (Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor), and Professor Scott Draper (Head of Department, School of Engineering, Civil, Environmental and Mining Engineering).   This acknowledgment is a testament to Arthur’s dedication and commitment to bridging the gap between academia and industry and fostering the development of future generations of engineers at UWA.

Pritchard Francis team members Daniel Rose, Mina Rouhollahi, Gabriel Barbero Pisani, and Shirley Gomes are stepping outside their comfort zone and abseiling 130m down the Central Park Tower to help raise burns awareness and vital funds to support the Fiona Wood Foundation. Burns are a life-altering event. They cause immediate and long-term traumas to mind and body and are arguably the most painful, unique and complex injury a human can suffer. The goal is to minimise scars worn for life, both in mind and body. The Foundation translates their research into innovative treatments and technologies, evidence-based burn research and prevention education initiatives that significantly impacts clinical care and raise burns awareness and first aid knowledge within the WA community and beyond. Our team are fundraising for the Foundation and we are reaching out to our clients to support this important cause and our team – the Pritchard Francis Plungers. If you would like to donate please follow this link. https://lnkd.in/g7Ah-auz

How do we reduce the stigma around illness at work.   Dealing with an illness and continuing to work is courageous. But sometimes work colleagues and others are presumptuous about how people should be managing their illness. This is a very personal decision, and different for everyone. Having a supportive and psychologically safe work environment helps immensely. In a sign of support for Emily Long, a close and dear work colleague fighting an illness, I decided if she is willing to change her hairstyle to match mine, then I can change my hairstyle and embrace hers.   Sometimes the littlest of things mean the most to people.

Congratulations to all the winners at this weekend's Urban Development Institute of Australia (WA) Awards for Excellence. We're thrilled to have been a part of so many award-winning projects. These achievements are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our talented team.

This iconic project was a pleasure to work on, and we're grateful for the exceptional team we collaborated with. Special thanks to Jamie De Palma and Alex Manley for leading our teams involvement in this one. Hesperia and Aegis Health for their outstanding work on Murdoch Square, which earned them the Judges' Award. We are beyond proud to have been involved in this project. Our team’s expertise in complex developments helped us overcome the unique design challenges and provide significant value engineering. Chris Tyler and Tynan Luzuk both played a huge role in the success of this project. Curtin University for the TL Robertson Library winning Best Social and Community Infrastructure project. CEDAR WOODS PROPERTIES LIMITED for receiving a Judges' Commendation for Atwater Rockingham. Thank you to the UDIA for another fantastic awards ceremony.

We’re proud to be involved in the groundbreaking Onslow Iron Project, where our team has pioneered a haul road design to suit Mineral Resources’ innovative autonomous vehicles. These vehicles, with a GCM of around 430 tonnes (10x the weight of typical heavy haul trucks), are a first for Western Australia. To accommodate these massive vehicles, we’ve incorporated a state-of-the-art barrier system designed using finite element analysis. This innovative solution is not only essential for this project but also has the potential to be adopted by Main Roads WA and other road authorities on future projects. We’re thrilled to be contributing our expertise to such pivotal projects in WA and providing cutting-edge engineering solutions for the transport sector. #engineering #innovation #WesternAustralia #autonomousvehicles #infrastructure #PritchardFrancis https://lnkd.in/grjSNWTs
