Hands-on experience for graduates

BPC hosted Fletcher Construction and Watercare graduates for a hands-on day at the Snells Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant, which we’re constructing for Watercare.

The event gave members of the graduate programmes an opportunity to learn first-hand about the work being done through the Enterprise Model.

BPC graduates based at the site took on leadership roles in helping to plan the visit, run Health & Safety inductions, and lead small groups around the site where it was safe to do so. Engineering Services & Innovation Manager Brendan Attewell and Temporary Works Manager Melissa van Vollenhoven lead a practical session on temporary works, using outrigger assessment and crane inspection to develop understanding. Operations Manager Chris Turner, Project Engineer Natasha van Nieuwenhuizen, and Site Engineer Sakhi Ehsani shared their career experiences and advice with the graduates.

Fletcher Construction’s programme enables graduates in a range of disciplines to understand the variety of work being delivered across business units and to get practical exposure to projects like Snells Beach being delivered within the Enterprise Model.
