TRAINING & UPSKILLING


Our partnerships with local organisations provide employment and training opportunities for local youths, and we have invested $1,000,000 into the purchase of four automatic HR vehicles that have provided pathways for women into transport.

We are a foundational member of Women in Trucking Australia, and are designing pathways for women into construction. Our female drivers are changing the face of the industry, and we are proud of their efforts to encourage other women to consider careers in driving and operating.

SUPPORTING DIVERSITY


We facilitate ‘local jobs for local people’ project guidelines and personal values, sourcing staff and sub-contractors from the areas in which we operate, including our own select panel of Supply Nation sub-contractors

Our ongoing relationship with employment services attracts suitable candidates with a wide range of skills and backgrounds. These services include the Aboriginal Employment Strategy (AES) Penrith, NOVA Employment, and MatchWorks.
