Downer Maintenance Operations Manager Aaron Waitai recently spoke with the Waikato Times about how we keep our people safe in the heat. “Our company policy is long-long, so we have long sleeves and pants, and hard hats, so most of the skin is not exposed to the sun.” 🛠

Temperatures are soaring on both sides of the Tasman, and when the roads get hot, so do our people! ☀ Safety is the #1 priority at Downer so we’re taking extra care this summer to make sure our outdoor work sites have systems in place to prevent heat exhaustion.

“Our collective aim is to deliver cutting-edge technologies and local support to reduce the rail industry's environmental impact while maintaining optimal operational efficiency for our customers.” -- Troy Sparkman, EGM Freight & Motive Systems

Downer is proud to kick start the year with another landmark infrastructure project delivered on behalf of its client ElectraNet Pty Ltd, with the South Australian component of Project Energy Connect now complete.

“We need to look after Country (Nunthi). Biodiversity is everyone’s business.” said newly graduated Darumbal Ranger Roeina Edmund, as the all-female group of Darumbal trainee rangers celebrated the successful completion of their 12 month traineeship.

To achieve a net-zero emissions future, adjustments in urban infrastructure are key. Downer has strong market positions in sectors like power generation, storage, transmission, distribution, building energy management, and transportation across Australia and New Zealand. 🏗️⚡🚗
